Not getting it. Beauty is beauty, and is never useful. Why is there a rejection in the women's culture of this particular form of useless beauty? But there are 2 important things to reject, I believe: That women are somehow less capable in this area. That something has been or is being done to them - by someone or something that isn't them - to exclude them. Then a conversation can be had, at least. I think we got the gender neutral word problems in all the textbooks. Unless there's one non-neutral one in a textbook used in some Alabama counties that is still causing all the problems.
