Why this fascination with the woman who doesn’t know she’s - TopicsExpress



          

Why this fascination with the woman who doesn’t know she’s beautiful, the idealization of low self-esteem? It orients the singer as a savior — the sensitive soul whom this girl, who has been slaving away day in and day out in front of a mirror that just won’t reveal the beauty she longs to see, desperately requires. These aren’t songs for young men, who, theoretically, could listen and reconsider their standards of female beauty. These are songs for girls who get the message that insecurity has romantic value, if only because it’s the necessary setup to the grand moment in which they find the boys who — god bless them! — finally pull them out of it. Hey dudes, if you value low self-esteem and insecurity in a woman because it makes it easier for you to bag her, youre literally doing everything wrong. (y)
