    It may sound a rather odd source for a resonant quotation, but a line spoken by the character Syndrome in the film The Incredibles often comes to mind:
    "When everyone's a Super - then no-one will be!"
    And I think that's very much the mentality of such people who wish to perpetuate the notion that beauty - at least aesthetic beauty - is an inherent trait in everyone; by claiming that everyone is beautiful, one essentially eliminates the concept, removing its perceived exclusivity.

    This reminds me of when I was watching QI on a certain video platform that's totally not a publisher, because the BBC made a bad deal with the provider of their stock images and footage and can't show the show in the U.S. Anyway it reached a point to where Sandy Tosvig was claiming that there was no such thing as a normal human temperature. I found myself yelling at my monitor something to the effect of "Human temperatures fall on a bell curve also known as a normal distribution. The normal temperature is the top of that curve, y'know the flat part.".
    Not meant to be a comment on her work on the show. I was prepared to hate anyone who followed Stephen Fry and was pleasantly surprised.

She was served by a young heavily tattooed, head shaved tough looking young woman. And the difference was palpable. I put it on Facebook. My point was ‘ are women becoming less feminine and why is everyone getting tattooed? I was harangued. Even by my own daughter. So I left fb. That’s a big thing for me. I keep in touch over fb. But no more. I’m fed up with only being able to express a view that everyone else agrees with.

    The downside to Diversity is diversity in quality as well. Some will be more and others will be less at literally anything that's more "diverse".
    You cannot demand diversity and then complain that not everyone is equal. You just got what you wanted: diversity in the results.
    It's also revealing of incredible ignorance when life and evolution in general are "designed" so as to have the greatest diversity of outcomes possible and then weed out everything that doesn't met specific fitness goals. That's how everything improves overtime, try lots of new things, shun what doesn't work and promote what does.

    Yes, beauty is a gift, like any gift, such as athletic talent. No one argues about that one and says "We're all Olympians." Oh yes, there is an argument that we're all *champions,* but it hasn't gotten anyone into the NBA who doesn't belong -- unlike the body positivity movement that's gotten certain people into underwear ads. Funny when it's quantifiable, no one puts up a fight.

    I know I'm not. Then again, I don't have to be. However, to some extent, beauty in fact is in the eye of the beholder. See, in most cases, in order to become sexually interested in another specimen of our species, we need to find them attractive. If we were attracted only to the "objectively" beautiful ones, homo sapiens would have been long since extinct by now. And people seem to be attracted to all sorts of types. What's more, we tend to perceive our loved ones as the most beautiful in the world. I guess it's all more or less subjective.

    I think what you mean is comeliness - which is no doubt a function of the will to procreate. Beauty is perhaps more a thing of intent - as in a beautiful aspiration to do a noble thing - which makes the arguments of the 'everyone is beautiful' crowd all the more inane. The potential for beauty exists in us all, but cannot be realized by merely reducing everyone and everything to the lowest common denominator and then applying the desired adjective. Meaningless has a hard time occasioning meaning, unless you're a surrealist... Cheers - and Thanks!

Nor is it something to be ashmed of, either. Being ugly isn't something to be ashamed of either. Lots of people are ugly...

    1) "Beauty" is one of a number of metrics which, at its core, means "above average". It is not mathematically possible for all - or even most - to be statistically "above average". It defies logic.
    2) "Beauty" is something which people have a biological affinity for. Even newborn babies display an in-built preference for beautiful features. The statements "beauty is subjective" and "everyone is beautiful" are ideological, not realistic.
