In today's episode, we dive deep into the dark truth of men's obsession with calling women ugly. Elle shares her thoughts on a disturbing podcast clip where the host repeatedly tells his female guest that she's not a 10. She questions why women subject themselves to such humiliation but also highlights how they profit from it. Elle explores the stark difference between men's and women's comments online, with women being supportive and men being negative. She ponders why men are so fixated on women's physical appearance, especially when they disagree with their opinions. Elle believes that men's mean comments are a way for them to assert their dominance in a patriarchal society. Using books as free therapy, Elle recommends arming oneself with knowledge to combat the negativity projected onto women. She shares a powerful passage from "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf, which explains why men feel entitled to judge women's beauty. Elle emphasizes that being aware of the beauty myth is crucial but doesn't necessarily stop its influence. Nevertheless, she encourages women to cater to the gaze that is most advantageous to them. In this thought-provoking episode, Elle highlights the importance of women's only spaces online and the need to protect them from men who seek to center themselves in female support groups. Join us as we unpack the dark truth behind men's obsession with calling women ugly and discuss how we can navigate the beauty myth to empower ourselves.
