Do women need to look hot to be taken seriously?

I recently had this debate with a friend. We were wondering why women invest so much in their appearance. Is it because they enjoy it? Because they think it gives them an advantage? Or because they’re afraid of what happens if they don’t?

My friend said beauty is social capital and an excellent investment because if you look better, you get more opportunities, more attention, better treatment, and you’re more competitive.

I agreed with her, but my point went a layer deeper. I asked if the return actually justifies the investment.

Because beauty costs a lot of time, money, attention, and mental energy. Now, what else could these same resources build? Professional skills to move up in your career, savings for financial independence, knowledge, or a business.

They give you the same return: opportunities, respect, and an advantage. The difference is that you provide them yourself; you don’t need your appearance to get them. And you also grow as a person.

There’s another difference. Beauty has to be maintained to keep the baseline because there are always new products, new trends, and new treatments. So once you reach the standard, the standard moves and you have to start all over again. Your resources have basically been wasted.

On the opposite, your money saved stays saved, your skills stack, and your knowledge compounds. You never lose anything.

So the real question isn’t whether beauty pays off for women. It’s how much of their potential women are sacrificing to pursue beauty when they could do something else that pays so much more.

Women think that dressing sexually means being free.

MEN make money to lift their WOMEN.

WOMEN make money to leave their HUSBANDS anytime they want.

Can women blame society for choices they make themselves?

There’s this popular idea that women aren’t responsible for their actions because of a mysterious force in society apparently oppressing them.

The other day, a woman told me that women who chase beauty through makeup, skincare, and surgery, or who dress sexually, aren’t to blame, because society values women for their looks and sexualizes them.

But if that’s true, how is it possible to not do it? Many women, including me, don’t wear makeup, don’t get cosmetic procedures, or don’t dress sexually. So a different choice exists.

Yes, society influences us. But no one is forcing women to put on that sexy outfit or that much makeup in the morning. Society doesn't sexualize them, they do.

At what point do people take responsibility for their choices?

How are you in love with someone and comfortable watching them carry all the weight? How do you love someone and leave them to bear the entire burden of a relationship you both chose?

Do you want to kill the love of your life?

[Gia Macool @GiaMMacool]

Misandry wants men to be guilty until proven innocent and women to be innocent until proven guilty.

They will require a mountain of evidence to prove a woman guilty, meanwhile no evidence to prove a man guilty except hearsay.

I’m understanding now why men go postal and suicide for men are 9x higher 💔

If women don’t care about what men think, why do they work so hard to look attractive?

I keep hearing women say they don't need men, don't care about men's opinions, and don't do things for male attention.

But when you look at how much time and money many women spend on their appearance (skincare, makeup, hair, clothes, accessories, sexy poses, and pictures posted online) you really wonder.

There are only two reasons why they would want to look attractive: to get men’s attention or to be hotter than the next girl.

And why would you want to be hotter than the next girl? To be chosen by men.
That really is simple.

So let’s not pretend that the desire to be attractive and desired has nothing to do with men. And let’s not say you don't care about being desired while making being desirable such a big part of your identity.

The best mindset to adopt in this life is to accept everything as your fault. Once you do this, you are able to clearly see your own flaws, & form a course of action to resolve this area of weakness so that your ongoing issues do not keep repeating themselves throughout your life

@nidhivoice17 If feminists don't approve your choices, you're oppressed. They're the ones oppressing you and telling you what you can or cannot do.

For a generation that keeps saying they don’t need a man, y’all ask men for money a lot.

Can a woman be sexy and intelligent?

I had this debate with a friend yesterday. And I said no, they can't. She looked at me, visibly very shocked, and said, "What are you saying? Women can absolutely be intelligent and attractive!!!"

Her mistake was believing that sexy and attractive mean the same thing. When in reality, they don't. Being attractive means looking good. Being sexy means being sexually suggestive or stimulating, especially through what you wear or how you present your body.

She was right: an intelligent woman can be attractive. But not sexy.

Because an intelligent woman knows that how she presents herself is part of her image and identity.
She knows that how she presents herself tells people what to look at and what to remember about her. And she's in the room for her body.

If you look at women who hold real power like CEOs, heads of state, and politicians, for instance, they’re attractive but not sexy. They don’t dress or pose to emphasize their bodies because they want to be known for who they are, not for what they show.

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

Every time someone questions something women do, it’s always the same thing: that person is being attacked for being anti-women.

Somehow, respecting women’s freedom turned into never questioning their decisions. As if being a woman makes you perfect. As if your sex gives you an immunity card.

So many women think that criticizing one behavior means criticizing all women and hating women as a group.

They think that women were in some sort of cage for so long, and that now they’re finally out so they can do whatever they want. And if you point out one behavior from one woman, somehow you’re sending back all women as a group into that cage.

But they need to learn that these are three different things: the choice, the person, and the group.

Women are not perfect and are not exempt from accountability.

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

There’s a deep contradiction in so many women working and wanting to be financially independent, while wanting men to pay for everything.

I have a hard time understanding why they want money then. What for?

It’s selfish and hypocritical to want financial independence without financial responsibility.

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

Why is she getting offended and making an issue out of it? It’s literally her job to catch balls. This reaction is so scandalous.

If men didn't exist, you'd have no plane, train, or car to travel with.

[kayee @ka2eeee]

If men didn’t exist, 100% of women could travel by themselves and not be afraid.

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

There’s a deep contradiction in wanting to escape the male gaze while still deeply wanting to be desired.

Lots of women say they don't care about men and don't dress up for men. Yet, they spend a big part of their money, time, and energy on how they look.

Now, why do they care so much about how they look?

There are only two reasons: to attract men, or to be hotter than women. And why would you want to beat other women? To get picked by men.

You can't say you don't care about being desired while making being desirable such a big part of your identity.

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

I think there's a big biological and social contradiction in the fact that heterosexual women still want men, sex, reproduction, protection, romance, and partnership, while at the same time hating men, blaming them for everything, and calling them oppressive. Which is it?

[Auriane M. Ségol @amasegol]

If women don’t need male approval, why is being desirable treated as a form of female power?
