elle editor: average women = not inspiring {disgusted}

3 May 2010 No Comments »

I very much dislike this woman:

In any case, Myers claimed that according to a study, “average women are not actually inspired to look at women who look like them.” She continued: “In fact, they respond more to women who are a little bit above average… There is something always aspirational.” And: “Look, the average woman is 5'3″ and weights 160 lbs. You're not gonna see a lot of that on the runways or in movies.” A hint of condescension was evident — the “average” woman is not dreamy enough for a place in popular culture.
