[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, the reason everyone says you MUST say your kids are beautiful is because we are conflating beauty with worth. Everyone is worthy, but not everyone is beautiful. Unattractive people know that they are. You aren't fooling them and you aren't helping them you are only further supporting the idea that for a woman being beautiful is the most important thing. [/quote] So I guess when your daughter gets ready for a school dance, and comes down nervously to have her picture taken, you'll barely look at her and simply say, "It's ok honey. You may not be pretty, but wow was that a great report card!" Newsflash: all kids, from the homeliest to the most beautiful, want to be told they are pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/handsome. Of course it's not the most important thing, but to a kid, it certainly can be. Why on earth wouldn't you tell them that?[/quote]
