It still annoys me when I read really derogatory things about how a woman looks because you would usually not read these things about a man, and that still has the potential to put women off public life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, it's very offensive when I notice that it's all about my appearance, how I look, that a man doesn't care who I am.
No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
I've watched women being hideously unattractive, personality-wise and physically, all the time. But these women never end up on screen.
I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim.
When women say that going on publications directed at men is somehow demeaning, I don't think that's true. I think that's one really effective way to change the societal standard women are held to.
We must be very careful when we say that somebody giving you compliments about your looks should be offensive. I think women really should look at why they're being offended by that.
Some people look gender non-conforming because they want to look that way - they don't want to conform to society's expectations.
I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look, and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and, hopefully, healthy.
From a male perspective, you don't think about how much outward pressure and importance you put on how women look.
