Do you think looks truly matter, or is it personality? When it comes to women. Do you believe that everyone is beautiful?
This will be a longer answer to make an educated point based on my studies from college.
The Topic of Beauty
Beauty is not truly subjective nor objective. Looks are in the realm of both philosophically, due to the fact that it wouldn’t be important if everyone saw the same reality or didn’t see the same reality.
If someone asks which woman is prettier, there isn’t truly a “correct” answer, similarly with a work of art.
People have varying opinions which proves beauty is a construct that cannot be defined rigidly.
Consider the fact that dating app statistics climb through commonalities and less through conventional beauty. That is proof that everyone is attracted to individuals for different reasons and will have answers that don’t align with their peers.
You can be attractive, yet forgettable to some due to other traits. Normally this is what reinforces the idea that substance/personality is everything to set you apart. However, even the most “immoral” individuals have been put in a position of power through privilege. Authenticity and other redeemable traits becomes both a subjective and objective moral compass that not everyone values.
While beauty is recognized as something good and not all bad, and we can weaponize and use pretty privilege to our advantage if we possess it, remember that there are always levels to this conversation.
We know beauty doesn’t mean the same for all people. Recognize each person has value in different areas.
Again, personality that is morally acceptable varies by social groups and standards within it, so while it is important, there are always discrepancies and that is the sociological barrier that makes us all different. Same with beauty.
Both matter to the human experience whether you identify as a woman or not, but if you do identify as a woman, you are judged more harshly.
The well known caveat is that not everyone will be pleased when it comes to a woman with substance and beauty. Stereotypes and insecurities will always be projected on a confident, pretty woman. It causes women to negatively adapt to their environment so they can avoid conflict.
As far as the saying “everyone is beautiful” that comes down to a platitude to evade acknowledgment of social biases in regards to conventional attractiveness and unconventional presentation.
Outside of biases, it is also used as a way to silence people who genuinely don’t feel the best because of their own self esteem issues. “You’re beautiful!” reinforces that beauty should be our only focus in an oversaturated world.
It’s simply not true, and people refuse to admit it and change their verbiage.
It’s not so much what I believe - It’s about the trends of society that reflect unstable realities and cause you to question yourself.

Am I the only one who think Megan switched sides like crazy? I mean she was up there shading cardi and then she went and did a whole music with her. Same thing with the City girls who shaded nicki, Megan went and became friends with her. She kinda got it coming.
Megan is a people pleaser all the way, at some point that’s going to turn into a sour situation.
I do think Meg is very friendly but that’s just her personality. I’ve always said that sometimes she befriends the wrong people when it came to her circle but that was about a different subject.
However, I am not sure about what you said because I don’t think Meg cares enough. If she was going to be that strategic she would address it.
While I do analyze the music industry, I don’t really take notice of everything because I’m not in stan twitter. So I could be wrong and could’ve missed something.
I don’t remember Meg disliking the City Girls. I don’t remember her disliking Cardi either. Not as much as other rappers or fans. I noticed all the collaborations but honestly, I thought it was just a business move and just for something different.
I don’t think she favors anyone or cares to be on a “side” when it comes to Nicki, considering she really said she looked up to her. I know that was an important collab for her, I could see it on her face.
Either way, Meg has a lot going on right now. Her degree, upcoming performances, that new relationship, dealing with grief, so sometimes I feel like things are read into too much. She really doesn’t even have time to entertain the drama that people want her to.

Why were Charlotte and Miranda your favourite sex and the city characters?
Miranda had the best development character wise from the beginning. It wasn’t too far off base to where I couldn’t relate to aspects of her personality either. There are a ton of outdated aspects of SATC in every character that made me cringe but on the surface level these two characters were pretty relatable to me as a high powered yet feminine woman.
Miranda Hobbes was a realist, had an admirable work ethic, and was brutally honest. She told everyone a fresh perspective that they weren’t considering because their heads were up in the clouds regarding love. She was a reliable friend yet she called her friends out. She’s the mom friend of the group, and that’s so me. Miranda was a perfectionist that had vulnerabilities and she would’ve rather ate a jean jacket than showed them. She’s known as the character that didn’t take disrespect from anyone! She was edgy and should’ve been the protagonist and probably would’ve had SATC came out today because she’s the best character. Today she probably would’ve been rewritten as a bisexual lol. Anyway I can relate to most of her qualities period. So if anything, I’m her.

I can also relate to some of the qualities Charlotte York had. Charlotte ended up a person who wasn’t afraid to ask for what she wanted. She was a reliable friend to Carrie and did things most friends wouldn’t. A lot of people downplay her character arc to dumb or slow because she’s the feminine trope with traditionalist qualities. Charlotte outgrew some of her original ideas she started with. She became down to earth and less judgmental. She was less superficial and desperate in the end. She showed another side of her by going through intimacy issues and the whole battle with wanting children. Charlotte was only disliked due to poor writing and ignorance of the times (and blatant ignorance of feminine characters in general) and would’ve been written better today, no doubt, much like the other characters. But on the surface, Charlotte became a woman that learned to not apologize for wanting the best, even when other people were negative.

Wat do u think of Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)? She’s 1 of the 3 people I look to for fashion (Rihanna and Chanel from the cheetah girl movies) (Carrie Bradshaw from sex in the city is honorary) for her preppy, youthful, feminine old money style. I think she exudes femeninity even if she manipulative. She def makes her standards clear in terms of men and where she wants to be in life, and she takes good care of herself. Idk, she’s one of my all time fav characters. Wat do u think?
I think Blair has always had a distinct sense of style as far as preppy fashion goes. She was inspired by greats in the femininity world such as Audrey Hepburn. Blair set her own trends like she is known for her headbands lol. I think she was pretty feminine and had her thing going as far as fashion goes but otherwise, she made multiple excuses for things Chuck did.
I think he was too low vibrational for her and did some things that were unforgivable in my book. Their entire relationship is highly emotionally manipulative and low vibrational... They consistently project their psychological issues onto each other and use each other to manipulate situations throughout the series... Like Chuck “sold” Blair for a hotel.... okay. ION LIKE DET.
That’s not to put Serena on a pedestal, since every Gossip Girl character is comical as far as development goes at best (a lot of things that happened wouldn’t have flied today including the abhorrent Chuck/Jenny issue that gets ignored hence me saying he was too low vibrational)...
It’s just that I believe Blair lowered her high standards and has internalized misogyny...she slut shames Serena far too many times. Not to say she is a victim, but it’s noted.
A part of me believes people adore Blair’s actions so much because they see so much of themselves within the things she does.
I have analyzed both Blair and Serena often. Blair is complex and seemingly “human” and attainable which is why people latch onto her, whereas Serena is the dreamy “it girl” written solely around her love life for some reason.
Blair shows her vulnerabilities and fears of inadequacy like many “Queen Bee” archetypes, and uses her charm to her advantage, while also falling weak to people such as Chuck and Serena. She was highly jealous of Serena and it was deeply detailed throughout their fights...which is unfortunate because again, Serena wasn’t any better.
Blair was reacting to the world around her, turning inward with a killer eating disorder, while Serena was oblivious to her surroundings yet maintaining an equally sorrowful narrative.
Two outwardly confident women who clashed because of their projected insecurities, and internalized them even more by surrounding themselves with problematic boys that could never be men 🤷🏽‍♀️
