We've been pressured into pretending everyone is beautiful, except for those who actually are
Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts double-D harbingers of the death of woke?
This is what the public is asking, at least those on social media, after the Euphoria actress garnered a particularly large audience as host of Saturday Night Live (SNL) last week. Sweeney is obviously a conventionally attractive young woman; and if you don’t personally admire her beauty, we can certainly all agree that she’s got a voluminous appeal. Sweeney knows this and runs with it, playfully owning her sex appeal with zero apologies. On SNL, she bulged from her tops, self-deprecatingly suggested that her breasts are her backup career, and — now virally — donned a Hooters uniform for a rather unsophisticated sketch dedicated to her overflowing cups.
Exactly how this led to a cultural cataclysm over beauty and wokeness can be summarized as follows: We’ve spent years being chastised for desiring or admiring beauty — because beauty is rare and exclusionary, and to exclude is to hate — or so we’ve been scolded to accept by today’s diversity, equity, and inclusion fanatics. We aren’t supposed to admire Sweeney’s beauty; but we’ve done it anyways. The times, they are a-changin’. Aren’t they?
Recall the words of unrepentant thought criminal Jordan Peterson on the plus-sized model that graced the cover of Sports Illustrated two years back: “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” To this day the man is partly facing censure from his professional regulator over these words. We’ve all been pressured into pretending that we are bad people if we aren’t attracted to every influencer-wannabe who is unattractive by any reasonable standard of beauty.

Butterface?
With my legal dispute ongoing with Lazmataz have to say unequivocally...
I’d hit it
She’s pretty in some pictures and not so pretty in others. FWIW, I thought the same of Audrey Hepburn, who definitely was NOT “well endowed”! I tend to think slender women or women whose breasts and hips are larger than their waist are able to be pretty. Most athletic women seem pretty to me.
Fat women, or women with enormous hippo-butts? Hideous!
Low standards perhaps. Still, higher standards than most American women try for, since the average American woman is 5’3” and 170 pounds! Sigh....and a 39 inch waist.
Of course, American men - 5’9” and 200 pounds - aren’t that way due to huge muscles. More likely due to the 41 inch waist.

Agreed. The last photo is a winner 👍
“A woman with a sense of humor is better than a Miss Universe.”
Very nicely put!
William F. Buckley said “she has the unique quality of inspiring licit passion.”
I guess you travel to the beat of a different drum.
“I married prettier”
Me to... twice going on three times...always had the ear worm going “If you’re in love with a beautiful woman it’s hard” 😂

You realize this post can be used against you at trial? Talk to your lawyer. ;-)
So she has a gorgeous face and a killer body, but “she is not that pretty”....which way does your door swing anyway?
He’s got a real cutie representing his interests... can’t wait to talk to her...
A way with words...
“…Most athletic women seem pretty to me.
Fat women, or women with enormous hippo-butts? Hideous!…”

I agree. I’ve always been a “leg man” and her legs were the bait that my wife used to entice me into her trap. Never escaped that trap and never wanted to.
Before I read the comment I thought I’d better ping you.
Truly exquisite.
Does she know?
This has largely disappeared over the past few decades as thin waifs become the epitome of beauty and totally vanished over the past decade when beauty was completely redefined as corpulent hambeasts of abiguous ethnecity (and gender) with unibrows, hairy armpits, and wispy mustaches.
We were told that this was sexy:
But this was what we were missing.
My emergency alternate brain works quite conventionally :)
Just saying, she is pretty enough and well built, but back in the good old days she wouldn’t have come close to winning Miss Nevada.
I think she’s cute/pretty, but not beautiful. She has an amazing figure & seems to not care what anyone thinks. That goes a long way. She’s kind of old school starlet.
No, she went and got married...had kids...
No concern for my feelings.
