Why did any of these characters need to be sexy?

People are shallow dickheads.

Not me. I’m perfect.

They also seem to not understand the fact that any tv character will be sexy if the audience spends enough time with them and they're not massively unfortunately looking.

Guys watching the show in the 90s were obsessed with her. She also got voted sexiest actress in all the magazine polls for years!!!

I’m following the women’s NCAA basketball tourney and I swear if I see one more mouth breather claiming Caitlin Clark isn’t “even that great” for *insert dumb reasons here* before immediately feeling the need to tell on themselves by adding “and she isn’t even attractive…”

That’s our worth as women. Doesn’t matter if we’re crushing it-are we fuckable?
