		<description><![CDATA[I don’t want the women I know to notice my flaws. I am competitive with them. I can’t stand the feeling that other women have contempt for me. I fear that they are thinking, “That sweater makes her butt look fat!” Women are the people who’ll notice and comment on your recent chemical facial peel or indistinguishable panty line. Men generally don’t notice that stuff.

I wonder how many other women feel this way. How many women fear what other women think enough to subject themselves to painful beauty rituals? Of course, there will be a length or two women find themselves going to for the admiration of men – like breast augmentation and Brazilian bikini waxes; but how is that worse than going to a painful length for the admiration of women? What’s the difference?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=1103&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If only China had set an example by allowing the world to look upon a talented young singer and marvel at just that: her talent. If only, we'd been allowed to overlook her crooked teeth and chubby cheeks. This could have been one instance when talent upstaged looks.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=103&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
