Lynn Peril, the author has a good connection to the story and she's the right person to write it because she has said in the article that she has experienced the "right way to behave and dress" phase when she was young. She has also showed she didn't like the way women were treated and viewed by men, when she stated in a game called Miss Popularity, which players competed to win and to win, they're viewed and questioned by four pageant judges who decide by legs, figure, voice, and "type". Peril emphasized type by saying "Type", to show she sneers at that kind of idea. She managed to do it without really saying it directly. I agree with her, that women always have been seen as sexual objects and often in high school, it's "cool" to look like the girls you see in the movies or the TV. Peril means women should be judged by their intelligence and personality rather than physical beauty.
Often, women who has credentials and is more experienced but was overlooked for a young woman who big breasts, a sultry voice and blonde and in men's view, more prettier than the other women, which was why she was chose for the job, even thought she's not qualified for it.
That's not fair. Nobody can control what they look like when they're born. You are who you are. You can't change the way you look.(Unless you count plastic surgery.)
For since mankind began, men were always viewed as the protectors, the bread winners, the "man" of the house. Nowadays, that image is slowly fading. Many women has proved they're equal or better than men at various jobs. There are still many old-school people in the world who still think women shouldn't work a "man's job". You know the quote, "Never send a woman to do a man's job?" That shows how much women's viewed by society and men for a very long time. The people who refuses to be open-minded, one day they may get hurt and the only doctor available will be a female doctor. What would they say then?
