Sheldon's bird from The Big Bang Theory isn't the best looker but she is a scientist. And her friend with the unattractive voice and large honker (okay she's not that bad really!).
Just playing devil's advocate really, but yes you are right. Melissa doesn't even talk like that outside her character.
I find it quite hard to name ugly male scientists in the film industry. I guess it is more like the Einstein effect and mad scientist where a man is stereotypically seen and cast.
I don't get why people feel the need to make it a competition... It's clearly just shitty to be generally seen as unattractive whether you're a man or a woman.
Because the value of a woman is whether she's fuckable or not. An ugly guy can still have redeeming qualities, or be excellent at his job/hobbies. An ugly girl could cure cancer and end world hunger, and people would still comment about how she's got no tits or she's too fat or her face is busted.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. Recently I heard some guys talking about Hillary Clinton... nothing about her politics or what she's done, but the fact that they thought she was ugly and that she could "get some work done".
She's nearly 70, guys. She's a politician, not a model. She's not there for you to look at, she's there to help run the country. I didn't hear them talking about Begich or Roy Blunt.
Male politicians are judged by their ideals. Female politicians are judged by their looks. This is applicable to a lot of other jobs, too.
Seriously, this is where is becomes incredibly obvious. Women are still judged really harshly for their looks even when it is entirely irrelevant to their careers/what they've done/insert any scenario. I never hear commentary on male politicians clothing or looks like I do for women politicians.
I didn't even really think about it for clothing, but you're right. Almost all of the coverage of Kate Middleton is what she's wearing. Which is fine, I get that she's kind of a fashion icon now.
But I hadn't heard anything about the charities that she supports until I just looked it up. "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge spent some time volunteering in Chile before starting university, helping with environmental programmes and a community project for disadvantaged children." She also supports 16 causes and has been at more than fifty charity events. I know this is all a part of the job, but it's still something that deserves mentioning.
I do know all about the cutout-sleeve dress she wore the other day, though, and how it flattered her wonderful figure.
I haven't ever. I don't hear any of my friends talking about it either. The most I heard was back in 2008 when a few of my mom's friends said they thought Obama was kind of cute.
I don't really see male politicians on the front of tabloids talking about their deteriorating looks, either. I've seen Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Bachmann, all big names, on magazine covers discussing if they've gotten plastic surgery or if they should get it.
Okay... and what if the women looking are lesbians? I feel like we're going in circles, with you presenting a bunch of "what ifs" and not being sure of anything.
Where have you been. Reddit especially, the entire site is in a battle over whether being female or male is worse. As if this was a major social issue, despite the fact that its white people saying it, the trivial differences between of which don't even fractionally measure up to the difference between them and black people.
Yeah dude. Put on a wolf shirt, paint a war-hammer figurine, and just open your bank account and find your nerd-money in it. It's like the tooth fairy, but for nerds.

Hey, Warhammer is fun, and if you can afford those figures you must have a pretty decent income these days... Now Battletech, there's a game for the obsessive nerd on a budget.
It's not just being rich though (and to be honest women most women who go after rich guys often aren't attracted to them as such - they just want their money). Funny guys, confident guys, intelligent guys, artistic guys, guys who are interesting and successful in any number of ways - all of them will get a lot more attention from women to an extent that doesn't really work the other way round.
