Obsession with personal attractiveness

Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model. | Cameron Russell
  • Vanity over appearance
  • Requirement to be beautiful
  • Excessive attention to looks
  • Beauty mandate

Claim

From their earliest girlhoods, in most societies women are trained to be obsessed with the way they look. This produces envy, vanity, competitiveness and an undervaluation of other human qualities.

Counter-claim

Research has shown that attractive people get well-paid jobs and lighter jail sentences.
