Belle Curve

In westerner society we are constantly berating ourselves for objectifying women. The media gets the brunt of the abuse but also gets a pass since the audience dictates the content. But we here at Tako like to swim upstream. Whenever there is a subject that everyone seems to agree on, it probably just means no one has looked at it critically.
It was therefore refreshing to find this alternate perspective on the the subject of beauty (emphasis added):     

"women's evaluations of male appearance are idiosyncratic and reflective of other valuable male traits: 'Every woman responds to a man whose looks correspond to her particular stereotype of power.' It is men's looks that are socially constructed, while female beauty is a force of nature."
