Good looks help men win elections, but it's a double-edged sword for women, says Liza Figueroa Kravinski, who created a documentary about beauty."When beautiful women reach a certain level in their careers, perceived competence becomes an issue," Figueroa Kravinski says. "Just listen to all the jokes you hear about her being a 'hottie.' How would you like a 'hottie' for a potential commander in chief?"
Interesting analysis. Nobody ever accused Hillary Clinton or Geraldine Ferraro of getting where they are on their looks. But why the double-standard for women? Can't we have a woman who is intelligent and attractive?
I for one have no problem with a "Hottie" as commander in chief, especially is she's as smart and accomplished as Gov. Sarah Palin.
