[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All women with a good heart are beautiful. End of story.[/quote] But not pretty. And you know it. You know exactly what we're talking about here. Nobody looks at pictures of women on "People of Wal-Mart" and thinks "She has a good heart, so she's beautiful."[/quote] So what -- it's about changing the perception of beauty, and it starts with how you see yourself. For years, you did not see many black women considered as the hallmark of beauty, does not mean they weren't it was they were not being appreciated and being ignored. Change the paradigm.[/quote] But I guess my point and the point of others on here is that why should we have to be considered beautiful to be considered worthwhile? It's condescending that people keep saying, well change the beauty paradigm or every woman is beautiful or "try harder." Believe me, all the trying in the world is just going to bring me up to average. I'm not saying I don't try - I like shopping, I wear makeup, I get my hair cut at a decent salon. But even with all that? I get to "plain Jane" at best. If someone were short would you say, "Change the paradigm of height! Try harder and you can be tall!"[/quote]
