Now I’m kinda curious about the sorts of strange people who need this spelled out. What’s wrong with them?

Nobody “needs it spelt out to them”, Venkat. The premise of your first tweet is flawed. The reason for some women’s lack of enthusiasm for talking about beauty is a protective reaction to being told beauty is the only thing that matters about your gender.
