A Colorado anchorman had Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) back on her heels during a debate among candidates seeking the House seat representing the state's 4th district by pressing her on her lies about her Beetlejuice groping theater scandal.The contentious back and forth between Channel 9's Kyle Clark ...
This comes off as a really sexist opinion. No one needs to change their appearance just because you don't approve of it. Bodily autonomy is a human right.
Sexist? What does her gender have anything to do with making fun of a persons stupid choices?
Check your own sexism if you think anything in my comments have anything to do with gender inequality.
Yes, bodily autonomy is a human right. It's not like I'm advocating for laws against her eyebrows.
Although she's free to do what she likes, she will still suffer the consequences of general pubic opinion when you purposefully make self look like a clown and being laughed at.
If it was something about her appearance she had no control over, then yeah. I agree.
You're implying that because you don't like her appearance and she's capable of changing it to be more pleasing or acceptable to you, it's okay to belittle her for it.
That's right up there with "you should smile more" and "you'd be so pretty with a little bit of makeup".
Again, you're still arguing from the standpoint that I'm making fun of her natural eyebrows.
Which I'm not.
You're attacking appearances. How one dresses or applies makeup doesn't matter in the context of the conversation. These are are matters of personal taste. Why do we need to know your thoughts on this?
I'm making fun of her shallow decision making and poor choices.
Not really, though. You're just talking about how someone's personal taste doesn't align with your personal taste. This is like arguing about favorite colors. It's a weak position to argue as it's entirely subjective. It actively undermines any other argument you might be trying to make.
Of all the things to mention, and you're focused on eyebrows? You sound extremely biased because of this weak argument. It gives the impression that you share this same quality of being shallow. It serves as a potential indicator that you might be unable to pick out relevant detail in a conversation, which also makes you seem like a waste of time to communicate with.
If you're arguing another point this is detracting from that point. If you're not arguing another point, then this insipid opinion is irrelevant to the discussion.
I mean, whether they are natural or not shouldn't matter. The "shallow decision making and poor choices" are just as accessible to a leftist woman. It feels kind of yucky to be setting standards for how you think it is acceptable for women to present themselves, regardless of whether they are on the same side of the political aisle.
"We can shame women for how they choose to present themselves as long as they disagree with us about Palestine" is a weird take when you examine it for what it is.
