[quote=LEONARDO,268245]This reminds me of an essay I have read before. One line goes like this: Women have the obligation to be beautiful. To preen, for a woman, can never be just a pleasure. It is also a duty. Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to evaluate each part separately. Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck,eyes, nose, complexion and so on--each in turn is submitted to an anxious, fretful, often despairing scrutiny. Even if some pass muster, some will always be found wanting. Nothing less than perfection will do. Well, nobody encourages a man to dissect his appearance feature by feature. IMO, this is the crux of the problem. Being a woman, Hillary have to face the pressure of old gender stereotype. Hillary has to confess: despite she has clambered up to a leading position in politics, she still has to work at being attractive. She is powless in the front of old trap for women.[/quote]
