Legit, that idea always bugs me. On multiple levels.

For one, a person's value isn't in looks to begin with. Then, there's the misogyny of it, reducing women, yet again, into objects of the gaze (it isn't just the male gaze, and it isn't always a sexual thing when it is, and my objection to the idea goes beyond that part).

Like, damn, how shitty someone has to be to even think that thought, much less speak it.

But there's also the smugness that their idea of beauty must be the right one, and the only acceptable one. Fuck off with that shit.

The old adage of beauty being in the eye of the beholder is more than an adage. Just because their punk ass can't see beauty doesn't mean it isn't there to be seen. Yeah, there's ranges of features and traits that are going to appeal to different percentages of the population, but that still doesn't mean any given person' opinion of those traits is inherently superior.

People can really suck
