    Oh so your question is, “Why are feminists called ugly even if they’re rather attractive?”

      Not exactly cos I believe the “beauty” concept it’s subjective but at the same time I understand there are society standards and not everything it’s subjective.

            If you look at different societies, they value different things regarding beauty.

                A basic version would be that in a lot of Western societies, tanned skin is seen as more beautiful, and is a sign that you can afford to take holidays and be outside. In many hot Asian climates, white skin is more beautiful as it shows you can stay inside and away from manual labour work.

                    I assume your posts are about outer beauty due to the makeup comment, but, assuming you’re discussing in good faith, yes. It is seen as more attractive in many Asian cultures for women to be more ‘feminine’ (higher pitched voice, quieter, less willing to speak up) and subservient, whereas that is uncommon in western ones, at least to the extent which exists these days.

        I agree that beauty is subjective but the reason feminists are so often stereotyped as ugly is mostly just pure misogyny… there’s nothing more complicated going on then some butthurt misogynists being butthurt. An interesting side effect is that not only is attraction subjective but it’s not purely physical (for nearly everyone)… the misogynist assholes call the feminist ugly as a baseless insult but they’re also less attracted to them because the feminist challenges their viewpoint.

        This is also why, tragically, when loaded down with hormones in puberty, people often start viewing their friends as romantic interests - spending so many good memories with a friend attracts you to them and unfortunately may make the friendship untenable.

        I’d really suggest more careful wording in the future because your question did seem like a troll at first.

          Interesting POV and information mate.

          Count on it 👍👍

          One question… did you believe there is a social definition of what is an inner beautiful woman? I mean nowadays society it’s so focused into physical “beauty” of woman, but what about the inner “beauty”?
