Ms. Schteer, Associate Professor of the Theater Department, would know all about facepaint and pretending, or so it would seem, and so she’s a natural expert on how to bamboozle one’s way to the top, or maybe it’s the cruder version of that, that she advocates.
What’s misterious, Ms. Schteer, is that you believe this to somehow be a new phenomenon.
Mr. Daniels seems a little more grounded in fact, though. So, better looking people do better in life. Who’da thunk?
It is not that women ‘use’ their beauty, it is that men ‘allow’ themselves to be manipulated by it.
And vice versa.
Besides, where would we be as a species, without the ‘attraction’ that beauty provides?
I am reminded, by this article, of the TWILIGHT ZONE episode where the guy thought the world would be better, if everyone looked (and acted) just like him. And he got his wish.
