Article needs expansion

I think this page should discuss some of the issues raised by this book rather than simply provide a short summary and information about the book itself

So ..... the 'Beauty Myth' is .....what exactly?

Perhaps it's not the function necessarily of a Wikipedia page to elucidate, but I'm sure I have no more of an idea what the myth is, after reading this article, than I had before. For what it's worth I've never seen any evidence that women are judged more extensively or harshly on the basis of their appearance because of their sex. In my experience men are equally extensively and harshly judged on appearance alone. It's legitimate to criticise the practice, but I don't think it's amenable to criticism for being a sexually biased one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 (talk) 16:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
