[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you ought to be able to express an opinion about anyone's - anyone's - looks without your husband making it into a character discussion. People have looks. It's OK to discuss them. [/quote]

And if your opinion happens to cast you in a shrewish, small, unflattering light well let the chips fall where they may.[/quote]

LMAO

PP, she's doing her model grin or whatever it is. I kid you not: You have to be batshit crazy if you refuse to admit that an Eastern European model is not better looking than 99.99999999% of women in this thread :mrgreen: OP should post her picture so we all partake in a discussion of her looks.[/quote]

OP here. My complaint was that my husband responded to what I thought was an innocuous (albeit petty as I see now) comment with an attack on my character--which he often does in arguments--rather than just saying, "I disagree with you." or "When you say you don't think Melania Trump is attractive, you sound petty."  For the record, I am not arguing about whether I'm more attractive than a model. I stated that I am not insecure about my looks and that insecurity wasn't the reason I said I don't find MT outstandingly beautiful.  But I appreciate the comments about measuring a woman's value based only on her beauty because, though I like to think that I don't do that, I've had to really think about it this week.  Asking for advice on DCUM is a real crapshoot, but in this case, the comments received have made me think![/quote]

You should understand that when you criticize another women, you express self-hate.  Most adults know this, and your DH said so out loud, to your face.  You demolish your self worth when you criticize other women.  It really is not that difficult to understand.  You married a DH with higher intellect than yourself.

Huh? Don't be ridiculous.  There's nothing about being female that serves as a shield from criticism.  Perhaps you feel one with the entire womenfolk of this planet. Most women don't. We can praise or criticize each other on individual merits, without feeling that praise of  one woman is self-aggrandizement or that criticism of another is self-hate.  Melania Trump is not me; how can criticizing her be self-hating?

It's also complete nonsense that you have to be beautiful yourself to criticize other women's looks. I can't bake worth shit; yet I feel completely normal expressing opinions of other people's cupcakes. There is really no admission test for this. You can have opinions about whatever you want.
