They’re not stunners but by journalism industry standards, they’re quite beautiful. They’re also smart and interesting, that enhances their attractiveness.

You might have a point if the thread was entitled “2013 Nominations for the best female journalist”, but its not.

I guess your response typed itself then?

To answer your question, yes, this thread is judging female journalists attractiveness based on their looks. Feel free to start a thread judging male journalists on their looks, or one not specifying sex at all.

Considering that the OP’s [companion thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=713940) to this could be summarized as “the homely chicks write about feminism more, amirite?” she may have a point.
