People are thrown off by someone who looks feminine, but is also strong. It's not that pretty girls aren't smart, it's that women aren't strong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl.
Pretty isn't the only thing that matters - being smart and kind matters more, of course - but all daughters should hear from their moms that they look pretty once in a while.
Being strong can be also feminine. I don't think feminine equals being weak. Being strong is very sexy.
Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power.
You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.
It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.
I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it's important to portray those kinds of women on film and television.
Men are strong, women are smart, but no matter how smart, their bellies are always there to betray women and that's their downfall.
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.
Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
