HW 28: Jezebel- Women are not all perfect!

Filed under: Uncategorized — mbullett at 5:44 pm on Tuesday, March 25, 2008

With apologies to Virginia Woolf:

The blog that I would like to ponder is from the website called, Jezebel. This very explicit site had many interesting blogs but one simply caught my eye. I began idly reading the blog which was called,  ELLE’s “Intelligent Women” Issue Is Kinda, Well, Dumb.”.  This blog talked much about how ELLE Magazine always has a certain issue about Intelligent Women, but like most other people in society, they chose women who “fit in” with society. This is ridiculous and makes me very angry. It talks about how the magazine always has their Intelligent Women be famous, beautiful models or actresses. This is outrageous, and makes me quiver with anger! There are plenty of very intelligent women out there, such as myself who could be put on this issue, yet we are left out. Why you ask?  Because men would like to see beautiful, “intelligent” women, they don’t care how smart they are in fact, only how beautiful they are. This is preposterous and needs to be ended.
