Dr-Gordon-Patzer commented on We Predict More Lawsuits in Dov Charney's Future

"I do not disagree with the majority of comments expressed thus far about the American Apparel's CEO' statement concerning physically attractive employees, however… Despite the discomfort caused by publicly acknowledging, or even suggesting, that good-looking people might be better employees than not-so-good-looking people, much objective research data reveal and document that employees of higher physical attractiveness may in fact (more often than not) productive for numerous reasons than their less physically attractive counterparts. Please note that I say this with discomfort on my own part, because, as I often say, "Beauty is Ugly" or, at the least, "Beauty can be Ugly." There are larger societal considerations here."

"Moe,Jezebel is a great site with, apparently, goals that overlap with mine concerning the physical attractiveness dimension of a person's appearance."

Dr-Gordon-Patzer commented on Beauty Is Not In The Eye Of The Beholder

"Old clichés aside, the belief or fantasy ideal that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is far from reality as documented by scientific research or by simply looking around at the surrounding world. Of course, maybe, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder it doesn't matter because the outcome is the same, in that the reality is that most beholders agree."

Dr-Gordon-Patzer commented on Random House Proudly Promoting Eating Disorders

"Yes, unfortunately, Sweet Valley High looks to be a not-so-subtle promulgation by Random House of lookism or physical attractiveness phenomenon or, as it might also be called, it's good to be beautiful and it is better to be more beautiful."

Dr-Gordon-Patzer commented on These are "Strutz," new pony

"Moe, Strutz is a princess of sorts and be it a modern day princess, a long ago princess, a human princess or something other animated princess, all media and history tells us that their looks are high on the scales of good looks. We love a princess with exceptional looks."

Dr-Gordon-Patzer commented on Why All Female Superheroes Look the Same

"Annalee, My compliments to you for a great post highlighting the same narrow range of looks for female superheroes that then serve to shape the perspectives, ideas, and ideals, of their fans. Of course, another female superhero who exerts equal or even great impact lives in another genre of female superheroes with similar disproportionate portions is Barbie the doll."
