      @centur @starsandrobots not that their beauty makes any difference in this.

      @katja_ghost @starsandrobots that was a genuine (maybe a bit poorly worded in 140 chars) compliment to the speaker, no strings attached

      @centur while I appreciate the underlying sentiment, it feels like a bit of the classic trope to equate feminine value with beauty

      @centur your statement in itself is not inherently bad (and "how could anyone not want to be beautiful?"), but triggers that value structure

      @centur I'd say that generally the counterargument on that is, that the value structure has broader undesirable deleterious consequences

          @centur e.g. are my words more worthwhile because I did a good job of putting on makeup today? should they be? should someone else's?

          @centur and: what good ideas get left out when value = beauty? whose? (+ this is a force that essentially only women are required to battle)

          @centur people've said I think about this stuff too much, from reading things like http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2014/01/11/women_and_beauty_why_does_society_value_looks_over_intelligence.html … and http://enwp.org/wiki/Feminine_beauty_ideal …

          @starsandrobots I'm sorry if my comment caused any negative feelings (and given "the smell of the torches" before - it did).
