I don't get this. I don't care how beautiful they are or are not as long as they are smart and can do their job.

Some certainly are, but it seems that judging women by how beautiful they are is pretty patronizing. Even if you say they're all beautiful, saying everyone is beautiful takes away the meaning of physical beauty. Not all scientists are beautiful. If judged solely on physical attractiveness I'd guess would score lower than a similarly well-off population of non-scientists (and I'd guess that would be true for men even more so than women, but true for both). Some scientists are also just not very nice people and ugly on the inside, too.
I will say that there's isn't much more attractive to me than intelligence, especially science/math nerdy intelligence. |
