God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl.'
There's only so many times you can read how ugly you are and how much people hate you.
Okay, I am happy with the way I look, but I have never, never, ever thought of myself as a 'pretty girl.' Honestly. When I read some of these scripts I'm sent, and they describe the heroine as 'incredibly beautiful,' I wonder why they sent it to me.
Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.
I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.
If you were born really ugly like me, have no fear. There's steps you can take to be good-looking. Kind of.
A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.
The message was always, 'It's good to be pretty, but don't look like you're trying to be pretty!' Inherent in that is a lot of misogyny, I think, because the implication is, 'You must work hard to achieve a feminine ideal for which society has nothing but contempt.'
It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
