About this Quote

This quote by Elayne Boosler is a funny way of explaining the dual standards that exist in society when it comes to physical appearance. She is suggesting that men are not held to the very same criteria of physical beauty as women. Men are enabled to have physical flaws such as a potbelly or bald place, while females are expected to keep a particular degree of physical beauty. This quote is a reminder that culture should not position such high expectations on ladies to look excellent, while men are permitted to have problems. It is a require society to recognize that beauty comes in all sizes and shapes, which every person must be accepted for that they are.
