*Few women I know, whether it be in the workplace or socially, ever find the time, or have been bothered, to pass negative comments about physical attributes regarding males PMs, males in general or the spotlight.*

Many women are commonly far too busy bitching about each others looks,
the biggest critics of women are other women.

*For instance, take ownership of your nose and stare at it in the mirror daily,*

Lol Unique, don't ever try to make a living in psychology, for
you would starve.

Australian women spend over 300 million$ a year on Botox, trying
to get rid of every wrinkle. Whilst I think that this kind of
cosmestic surgery is bordering on the ridiculous, I do think that
if people are born with a hair lip, a huge nose or other features
which commonly make them very self concious and are easily fixed,
then it makes sense to get them done.

The cartoonists love Julia's nose and I'd be surprised if she was
never self concious of it. But it is really up to her. It would
also act as a distraction to what she is saying, which is a shame,
because I do indeed think that she is a smart cookie.

As female sexual power is consistently linked to appearance in our current culture, it is no surprise that women are absolute hypocrites in the politics of appearance.

Many women seem unable to resist the opportunity to show a sexual aspect to themselves at work for the perceived social benefits.
Loose tousled hair, tight skirt, high heels and a glimpse of bra is a standard in work offices around the country.
I find it a peculiar custom.

In many ways, because of the way female sexuality is currently constructed in this country, the sexual is political.
Our society would get over 'the appearance factor', allowing women to be - shock, horror - flesh and blood people, if women would only get over it themselves.

Toning down the sexual presentation and physical grooming could be the best way of allowing ideas, not personalities, to come to the fore.
But that would mean forfeiting a titillating 'edge', wouldn't it, girls?
