"To his value system, a woman’s character, integrity, intellect, and achievements are not as important as her looks. He even brags about his own daughters’ appearance first, rather than anything else they may have accomplished.

this is a huge pet peeve of mine
and LOTS of people do it
i see it on my FB all the time
i posted a photo of my daughter when she got her Paramedic's license - i bragged about how difficult the course was, how many hours she spent studying - all the clinical trials and tribulations - and how great she is under pressure - i was (and am) very proud of her hard work and how it paid off
the resposnes i got?
"she's so pretty"
in forty different posts - all saying the same thing - that she has a pretty face
well yeah...she's pretty - but damnit...she's really smart, she works really hard, and she's a perfect fit for emergency medicine
but all people see - even those that know all this about her - is how well she does her makeup and pretty eyebrows
how can we expect anyone to value a woman's mind - when we, at the community level, are still caught up on the superficial
and - if she were an average looking girl - she's getting congratulations on her brain - and no mention of her face
it's not just my kid - it's all kinds of young ladies doing phenomenal things - first their looks, then their brains
