Child beauty pageants don't make anyone pedophilic. Just like gay porn doesn't turn straight men into homosexuals.

@namark:

I did not “discard” her opinion. I said I was sceptical that anyone’s subjective experience is very meaningful per se in these matters. That’s why we have peer-reviewed studies, surveys and statistics in the social sciences. If you think I “discarded” her opinion, well, you are now “discarding” mine by expressing disagreement, too.

I did not criticised her opinion “because she’s pretty”. That is clear to anyone who read my article without prejudice. No-one is responsible for the genes they were dealt, and physique is obviously orthogonal to moral authority and to the quality of one’s reasoning.

What I did is calling attention to the hypocrisy of denouncing that are unjustly expected to be pretty while at the same time

  • basing one’s career, success and popularity as a woman on always appearing as pretty as possible everywhere (own web site, MSM, SM, LI) through clothing (or lack thereof), make-up, lighting, suggestive poses and careful post production,
  • participating in beauty contests, which as I pointed out are at the very least controversial among , and definitely an area with enormous between the sexes, where girls (and only girls) are indeed expected to be (extremely) pretty, by definition,
  • focusing her more recent work (as a coach) around , targeting women exclusively and explicitly, and glorifying that career option with her language and promotional material.
