Why Women Should Be Free to Embrace Their Beauty

Are you as frustrated as I am by the hostility some people show toward attractive women? It’s high time we address this issue. My twin sister, who I live with, recently came to my room in tears. Now, let me clarify—she’s always been beautiful, but she’s also just a regular person, a mom trying to navigate life without feeling pressured to look “hot.” She’s quirky (which seems to surprise people, as if beauty and weirdness can’t coexist) and has a sneeze that resembles a character from “The Three Little Pigs.”

This brings me to my main point: Can we please give hot women a break?

There’s a phenomenon known as “pretty prejudice.” While beauty is subjective, it’s undeniable that those who fit conventional beauty standards often face this bias more than others. Sure, every woman deserves respect and understanding, but the judgment that comes with being perceived as attractive is particularly disheartening. I wish people could take a moment to get to know someone instead of jumping to conclusions.

My sister, however, downplays her experience. She points out that there are far worse problems in the world, and she’s right. “Pretty prejudice” might seem trivial, especially when you consider the larger issues people face daily, but it still affected her deeply. So, let’s talk about why this is a problem worth discussing.

When she came to me, I moved my computer and listened. “Do you remember what I wore to work last Friday?” she asked.

Honestly, I didn’t. My sister has a wardrobe full of fabulous outfits, and she tries to dress appropriately for work. That day, employees had a casual dress code, and she aimed to look professional without being seductive.

I can’t imagine how challenging it must be for women who naturally look good in whatever they wear. My sister wore a baggy sweater and black leggings paired with steel-toed combat boots. Yet, she was perceived as “scandalous.”

Since when did oversized clothing and combat boots become inappropriate?

When she shared her outfit with me, she was exasperated. “I made sure my sweater covered my butt, and I wore a hard hat. Seriously, how is that distracting?”

Her boss told her that the men at the site found her a distraction. She was furious, feeling her professionalism was overshadowed by her appearance. “I’m just trying to do my job and learn,” she said, “not show off for some guys who weren’t even around.”

Why do people feel the need to be so cruel to beautiful women? Why is there such a focus on their appearances? If a pretty woman is dressed like everyone else, why is it her fault?

This situation is reminiscent of school dress codes that penalize girls for wearing certain clothing because “the boys can’t concentrate.” It’s frustrating to see young girls being pulled from class for wearing shorts or tank tops while boys face no such scrutiny.

It’s time to advocate for women who face these unfair biases. Yes, all women deal with challenges, but those considered attractive often face unique struggles. My sister was just attempting to blend in, yet she still felt the pressure of being watched and critiqued.

As she prepared for work the next week, she chose clothes that adhered to what she thought would be deemed “appropriate.” She looked cute and professional, but why should she have to worry about that?

Some women simply can’t help being attractive; they shouldn’t be penalized for it. I can’t claim to have all the answers, but I urge everyone to be kinder and to consider what lies beneath the surface.
