WHYS 30: "Why women hate me for being beautiful"

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Samantha Brick, has provoked huge amounts of comments from an article she wrote in the Daily Mail, a UK newspaper. Most of them were hateful or mocking. She wrote about the downsides of being so pretty, saying women hate her for being beautiful. Seeing the amount of venomous comments globally, you might think she was right. Today, we ask do you think good looking women are admired by men, but loathed by most women? Is there anything wrong with a women saying "I'm blessed with beauty and women are jealous of me"?
