Anyone ever notice that about liberal women? Many are quite attractive when young, but seem to age hideously.
Not all women age like this. The ravages of age play on everyone, but there seems something nearly sinister the way age plays out on liberal women.
One part of me thinks it is that inability to mature and let go of youth...that they spend so much emotional energy trying to hold onto their youth that any youthfulness is squeezed from them much like the juice from a lemon. Think the difference between grasping a whole lemon in your hand and demolishing it by squeezing it till it dries out, rather than placing it on a counter and letting it simply age.
On the other hand, I think it is the liberal disposition that does it. It is the sourness, the innate inability to have internal peace while someone else has personal freedom to pursue their own path. Think a stereotypical Puritan, someone who cannot smile when they know there is someone on earth, somewhere, enjoying themselves and feeling pleasure. They seem to spoil from within, until the ugliness inside just bursts through the skin and is evident to all from without. It is why many badly used women in the Kennedy family look they way they do as they age, the anger and bitterness seems to wither and desiccate them from within. From the outside, they look like they don't have have a single drop of happiness left in them.
I think, that in a nutshell is why you have people who look like Andrea Mitchell, Barbara Streisand, Janet Reno, Rosie O'Donnell, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Andrea Dworkin, Susan Estrich and others. Conversely, it is why, in my opinion, conservative women age better, as shown below:
Michelle Obama is someone whose internal ugliness and anger just shows through before she even ages, and you look at her and think..."Why is this person so repulsive at a nearly subconscious level?" And then it hits you, where your brain had registered her before:
Same thing with Susan Estrich. I always thought, what is it about her that is so repellent? I have never met her, and then one day (On Free Republic) you realize why, when you see this:
With Hillary, it is simply her voice that seeps to the exterior. A while back, I wrote about why Hillary Clinton will never, ever get MEN to vote for her. I am not talking about Rush Limbaugh's "New Castrati" type of "men". I am talking about Normal Men.
Her voice is like chalk on a board. It is the sound etched deep into the primordial areas of Man's Brain.
It is the sound of a woman who is very, VERY angry at him.
Her voice is shrill...and resonates a perfect, exquisitely awful dissonance at certain frequencies.
Primordial Man first heard that sound when he walked, filthy and muddy (from a hard day of Giant Sloth hunting) into that clean, dry cave and was lit into by Primordial Woman because he didn't clean the swamp ooze off of his feet, or the Wooly Mammoth guts off of his malodorous fur skin.
That is the voice of Hillary Clinton. She tries to hide it. She tries VERY hard. But no matter how hard she tries, there are times she opens that mouth and every man with that Primordial Man inside him, hears Her voice...and recoils.
With these other liberal women, they have the craft to conceal that bitter inside from many, but it just bursts out in their physical appearance.
