Women's behavior in handling beauty, even before feminism, was to deny they had any. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
I'm not one of those women who thinks beauty is a curse.
I contend that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, no matter how scrambled her features, or how indifferent her features.
Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.
We can't shame women for trying to be beautiful. That's so mean and unfair. But there's a part of me that thinks it's really sad, too. It's very complicated.
It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.
Women will always be beautiful no matter what, and that's their specialty!
Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
I have no right to beauty. I had been condemned to masculine ugliness.
