465. Thesis--"women are judged too much by their appearance."
Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 10:58 AM by mistertrickster
Wow. Knock me over with a feather.

The problem is that sets women up as the victims and men as the victimizers. Men are judged too much by their appearance too. When was the last time we elected a hunchbacked politician?

And why is that only men are the victimizers? I see the covers of women's magazines, and except for Ms., they have thin models wearing the latest fashions. And who buys them? Women.

I agree we have equality problems in this country and in this world, but it's time to move past the "white male patriarchy" model of solving those problems.
