I do think really beautiful women are treated like dirt sometimes, even by other women, because beauty is seen as the ultimate currency in a male-centric world so they can't have "real" problems. Even here people will roll their eyes at women who say anything negative about being good looking (or call them vain/delusional for saying that they are good looking). It's sick.

I’m pretty average looking but have been catcalled a few times and it makes me honestly feel horrible for extremely good-looking women and what they must have to deal with on a daily basis from creeps.

MTE. I'm plain af (growing up, I was bullied for ~being ugly~), and yet I STILL get harassed occasionally by men. (It really does happen to every woman.) I work with a few natural beauties who put up with that shit constantly, and I don't know how they handle it. Men are terrifying.

One time on the red carpet she said something to an interviewer about feeling like she looked bad and the comments from women were all really defensive like she was saying it to make them feel bad about themselves when it wasn't personal.

The other comments were from men who were either calling her a whore or saying really sexual things about her. This was literally like 10 years ago but I remember it because there wasn't a single nice comment from anyone. That must be such a shit feeling.

[stf_ugh]

Agreed.

Its def true. It’s a double-edged sword for them. On one hand they’ll get into the industry a bit quicker than a less attractive woman but you’re pretty limited to the hot girl roles and not taken seriously. And they have a pretty short shelf life unless they managed to branch into fashion mags.

I think Charlize Theron is one of the few to have broken the mold for herself.

monster was the most genius of genius moves

[pseudonygma]

Charlize Theron was never afraid of looking "ugly" and that helped a lot.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I don’t think it’s that alone though cause plenty of actresses would be willing to get “ugly” if they knew it win them an Oscar. Charlize is a really good actor.

[msbombtastic]

Yup. I've gotten it before, and mind you while I'm cute and what not, I'm not ~flawless~ or have all completely conventionally attractive features. I can only imagine for someone like her who is like textbook, western-world beautiful.

mannn i hate how much im stared at in public. i feel like im a piece of meat and even when i look at them back they still continue to stare, like where are your boundaries?? the worst is when i walk into a room i feel eyes everywhere sometimes i gotta give them a dirty look to back off lol. im terrified of walking alone anywhere anymore because of men and their entitlement, its gross af. not trying to toot my own horn but on the line youre talking about, i can relate to megan in that sense of wanting to hide from everyone because of the objectification

[space_poodle]

same here to everything you said.

[externalmusic]

it's true and i'm sure all women have stories about feeling uncomfortable about receiving unwanted male attention but even in the replies we have to put a disclaimer saying how we don't think we're THAAAAAT attractive, because if we dared say "yes i think i am objectively attractive and i receive a disproportionate amount of attention that affects me negatively and makes me live my life differently", people would still roll their eyes and discount it

[acidsnow]

That's awful that happened to you. Hopefully things take a turn for the better when you get older. I know a lot of older women who are happier once they're getting ignored by guys. Just curious, but what country are you located in?

[externalmusic]

thank you. hopefully! i'm in the us

[acidsnow]

You're in the US o.O Were you able to file a police report and get a restraining order? Did he go to jail? Holy heck.
