I know I'm going to get yelled at for bringing her up, but, yeah...

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

I'm really annoyed by the implication that looks are how women should compete. How about grades, careers, talent? I'm not a very competitive person, but competition about looks/guys is the only kind I can't stand.

WRETCH.

Anyone else tired of the "women are competition/jealous of each other's looks" trope? It's just so easy to fall back on. Like most stereotypes, there's an element of truth, but it gets turned into The Truth and it's just not accurate.
I honestly don't spend time rating my friend's looks, male or female. I don't base my friendships on looks because I'm not 14. Adolescence is the only time I can understand that being an issue. Otherwise, it's time to move on.

One, despite its grammar flail, which I particularly enjoyed:
"Why does sexism get in the way of so many Femail articles, more to the point!
Will you never tire of depicting women as some kind of raging sub-species? Apparently not."

So frequently that happens because
- women are frowned upon for openly competing against men;
- women are frowned upon for competing against men or women in areas not related to such sexual competition;
- men will punish women even more severely than they will punish other men for competing directly with them for what they, the men, consider scarce resources.
All of which is a rather long-winded way to say I'm not sure your generalization is so accurate.

I hear what you're saying, but aren't you basing your points on stereotypical male behavior? Can't the article's hypothesis - assholery is not gender specific - apply here as well?

So, now,um -- why is the 'stuff' spewed all over a CNN web page that receives international exposure again??
Also, what twisted editor decided this feature should be named "The Frisky"?
As a reader, you take one look at that column title and you should just know there's going to be a problem.
