P569 ORACLE 569 Sun30 Sep C4 2358:52 2/6 IS BEAUTY A MYTH? There's no such thing as an ideal image, because everyone has their own ideas and preferences. Women AND men should wear what they want and look the way they want to, not just because they've seen it in a magazine. EMMA, London I think this Naomi Wolf person is wrong. We're not lettting our sex down just because we wear make-up and like to look nice. It's our choice. LINDSEY, Liverpool more follows >BUZZ Guide 560 BEAT BOX 540Beat Box Kids Diversions Reviews
P569 ORACLE 569 Sun30 Sep C4 2353:37 3/6 IS BEAUTY A MYTH? Everyone is beautiful in their own way. You shouldn't try to find categories in which to put beauty. It could be a girl's look, her smile, her eyes, or the way she moves. So beauty is just a myth. MICHAEL, Bedford Women are the inferior sex anyway, so unless they look good there's no point them being around. They're no good to society - men do all the hard jobs. PUBLIC ENEMY FAN, E17 Rap. Doncha just love its liberal attitude? more follows >BUZZ Guide 560 BEAT BOX 560Beat Box Kids Diversions Reviews
P569 ORACLE 569 Sun30 Sep C4 2351:01 4/6 IS BEAUTY A MYTH? Women are trapped by a beauty myth but men are too. But Naomi Wolf is wrong if she thinks it's a new thing - it's been happening for thousands of years. It's also found in animals. So it's a conspiracy theory gone mad. The cosmetic businesses are riding on women wanting to be attractive but they didn't create it. Naomi Wolf is looking for someone to blame for her anorexia.

P569 ORACLE 569 Sun30 Sep C4 2351:24 5/6 IS BEAUTY A MYTH? I never wear make-up and never look sexy. I just wear clothes to suit the music tastes I have. CHARLOTTE, London I totally agree with Naomi Wolf. I've recently been diagnosed as having bulimia and it's made a mess of me. I've realised I have this idea of how I should be, even though I'm the right weight, and I've got it from looking in magazines. But women SHOULDN'T naturally be skinny. We all have our own shapes. We shouldn't be pressed. Namj supplied. more follows >BUZZ Guide 560 BEAT BOX 540Beat Box Kids Diversions Reviews
P569 ORACLE 569 Sun30 Sep C4 2357:53 6/6 IS BEAUTY A MYTH? If women want to stop being discriminated against, they should stop dressing up. GABBLER, Hammersmith Shut up Naomi Wolf, you don't know what you're talking about. If you donWt want people to notice you, fine, but I want people to notice ME.
