"Wow, a social media platform with beautiful women! I'm in!" Women might say, "Oh, here's where all the beautiful women are. I want to be like that." Your paradigm leaves no room for women and girls who may not be the most attractive physically but who are geniuses.........it is for this reason that I believe the world is in need of being re-visualized. That is a super shallow way to view the female species!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh...... Women have a lot to offer beyond their looks....... The faulty programs continue to show me their old devices..... I am not saying that attractiveness should not be rewarded,but when it is the ONLY metric being used, then we have a fucking shallow world, where physically unnacttractive women who might possess spectacular minds are not rewarded. You just described the realty tv paradigm that never shows anything of substance.... This is fucked up. No offense to you, but I refuse to back down with my opinions. Oh, and the whales are never going away. They did indeed get this ship running.....they are rewarded for that initiative and risk-taking....

Hey @stellabelle. Sorry I didn't explain myself well there. That's certainly not *my paradigm* as I was speaking in *mainstream* generalizations considering the larger population of people who might find Steemit. I'm not condoning it, just describing an aspect of reality (one I hope we can all work to change). > it is for this reason that I believe the world is in need of being re-visualized I completely agree! I'm sorry if my comment above didn't explain that well at all. It's a sad dynamic (from my perspective as an outsider) of female interactions regarding looks, fashion, sexual expression, and the like. Some women can be vicious to each other regarding physical appearance. Very few companies have been bold enough to represent real women in their advertising, but hopefully more will do so. From my perspective so far, many of the highly upvoted intro posts aren't *just* about beauty, but also about interesting people. Does beauty play a large role? Yes, but I'm not sure (from the posts I've seen) it's the *only* thing being upvoted. > where physically unnacttractive women who might possess spectacular minds are not rewarded I also think that's unfortunate and something we can all actively work against. Similar paradigms exist in other categories (non "manly" men, etc) but we don't need to go into all that. I certainly wouldn't ask you to back down from your opinions; that's what's so great about communication and free expression! Your pushback highlighted how poorly I expressed myself here and how naming the problem (as it exists today) got misunderstood as my personal views. (side note: using a **>** before a paragraph turns it into a blockquote. Makes following the conversation much easier) (side note x2: I think I [expressed myself better in this comment](https://steemit.com/steem/@trevonjb/my-biggest-fear-on-steemit#@lukestokes/re-jupiter00000-re-trevonjb-my-biggest-fear-on-steemit-20160709t195235061z), and I really appreciated your reply. Thank you! I don't think I'm a genius (as this thread shows), but I am working to improve myself and my opinions).
