I think men are fortunate because generally men don't feel devalued as a human being if they have quirky physical traits or unconventional looks. Most of the time, this falls under "unique and interesting" for men viewed by female eyes. Maybe even for some gay men. In general, hetero men seem so, so, so entirely fixated on women looking like lies that they see on magazines and the net. Most women are not make-up gurus. Most women do not have 'Hollywood' looks. Most women do the best they can with what they have, but it rarely seems enough and we get that message from every angle in society. Heck, a woman can be thin and in good shape but her petite features will damn her in men's eyes. Someone's god forgive her for the 'sins' of not having a giant bust for men to ogle at or a XXL fanny (when this would clearly be out of proportion), or a beautiful woman that happens to be larger. Oh noes! I don't even know if the average man appreciates real women anymore in all the shapes we come in. As a woman, let me tell you that being tacitly and explicitly told that your beauty is everything takes its toll and most men will never understand. We want to be people too. Plain old Homo Sapiens...not just 'things' to look at and _________.
