Is the beauty myth good to men? It hurts them by teaching them how to avoid loving women. It prevents men from actually seeing women.

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us. ↗
