Pretty Lesbians Are Allowed

Ellen DeGeneres looking great!

Long ago, before I knew much about anything, I thought that women became lesbians because men never asked them out. This wrong thinking arose from the fact that many, if not most, of them back in the day were unattractive, overweight and unfeminine, often with slight mustaches and bad hair. They paid no attention to style, fashion or how they looked. Their whole attitude fairly screamed, "Men hate me so I hate men and here's what I'm doing about it!"

Times have changed. Many beautiful women today are lesbians who pay a lot of attention to their looks. Most notably in the entertainment world, comedian Ellen DeGeneres is now a spokeswoman for the CoverGirl Simply Ageless makeup line, appearing in print ads and commercials selling lipstick, mascara and foundation. Besides being talented and endearing, Ellen is quite pretty, and her wife Portia is also a looker. So now it's okay to be pretty and be a lesbian. and dress well too. (I guess Rosie O'Donnell never got that memo.) 

Still, there remains a large group of unattractive women, many of them heterosexual and many of them with mustaches, who  are ignored by the male population and thus hate men. They may or may not be lesbians. They eschew makeup, designer clothing, hair salons--in fact, any attempt to be attractive at all, as if caring about your looks is a bad thing. Yesterday I got involved in an online spat with one of them. 

The initial argument erupted over her shock and dismay that an interviewer had dared ask Hillary Clinton to name her favorite clothing designer. Mrs. Clinton had allegedly answered, "Would you ask a man that question?" Whether or not she actually said that is moot; what is important is that a group of women on Facebook were incensed! Their leader, who judging from her profile picture was clearly in the I-don't-care-how-I-look group, was literally repulsed by the very question, calling it, "sexist, irrelevant, insulting, demeaning, something best left to the 20th, if not the 19th, century."

It is well known that Hillary spends a fortune on frocks at several high-end couture houses in New York City. She fusses with her hair like a schoolgirl and bedecks herself with jewels and ruffles like a Hollywood starlet trying to catch the attention of the paparazzi. Obviously, Hillary cares how she looks, so what century is she living in?
