About this Quote

This quote by Connie Chung talks to the double requirement that exists between males and females in regards to physical look. She is explaining that guys are permitted to be fat, bald, and unsightly without dealing with the same level of judgement that females do. This is an example of gender inequality, as women are held to a greater standard of charm than men. This double standard is prevalent in our society, and it can cause feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem in ladies. It is essential to acknowledge and challenge this inequality, and to produce a society where everybody is accepted and valued despite their physical appearance. We must pursue a world where everybody is dealt with similarly, and where beauty is not specified by gender.
