I think anyone, male or female, who has good character and a kind personality can inspire romantic love.

Thankfully I believe you are right.

Goodness knows I would never make the list of beautiful people but my husband still loves me.

Kindness covers a multitude of physical flaws.

I am an average-looking person, myself, but I’m widely regarded as nice. And tidily-dressed.

One thing I’ve noticed, over these many years, is that Free Republic’s judgment of a person’s appearance is almost 100% correlated with the perception of the person’s political views. A woman gains 50 pounds overnight if she says something the boys don’t like!

Specifically, Bella Abzug isn’t bad-looking. Like many people of Middle Eastern heritage, she’s got nice bones and good hair. Got heavier in middle age, but a lot of us do.

She did not become a radical feminist because she was ugly. If she became ugly, it was a co-result of the same factors that caused her to become a radical feminist.
