Because women should always look agreeable and demure.

I’m really hoping this is a whoosh, if so: good one!

I never said that, but the question was about being more attractive. And I was answering honestly about differences in looks between genders, which don’t cease to exist just because truths are uncomfortable and you want to pretend they don’t exist. I could also add some super-controversial opinions, like: 1. Fatty breast tissue is usually not attractive on men, but it’s pretty OK on women. Or 2. Having broad shoulders is more attractive on men, or having a penis.

You’re listening to what Broomstick said I said, not what I actually said. You know, the more sensational … but not quite accurate version.

What I said was _“ **If I were her** , I would look into a brow lift (cheap and recovery is just a few days), chin/jaw work and a nose job. Just a little work could really transform her face.”_
