"Beauty Cult"

Jessica Valenti states in her chapter that women suffer to look beautiful. She states that we wear high heels even though they hurt us just because they make our legs look better. She basically continues to explain how women hate themselves because of their appearance. We also tend to point out things that we don't like about ourselves. What she is saying, is that us women pay more attention to how we look rather than who we are as a person. Not to mention everything that is shown through out society. Society tells women that they are only beautiful if you look a certain way, and even though its stupid and pointless, we choose to pay attention to it. I think that everyone needs to look at the personalities of the people around us rather than their appearance and judging off of looks alone.
