Why is it that the most attractive Olympians get the majority of the pre-game coverage? Especially if you’re a woman, it seems that you’re certain to get a magazine editorial or endorsement if you can prove to be desirable to the opposite sex. (Or at least “All-American”.) Heaven forbid you’re a horsey lookin’ ice-skater. Lord knows you better have some All-American sob-story to fall back on. Somehow, if we see a woman as being accomplished or successful, we must also attribute beauty to her. Often we pretend that the most average looking success-story is a hottie, just to fulfill that ridiculous requirement. Or … we ignore her. Is it not enough just to be fabulous? Do we have to be gorgeous, as well? Man, it’s tough to be a girl!
*Product Review: What product could possibly remedy this injustice? I weep.
