"To call one thing beautiful is to make another thing ugly."
The tao aside (ha!) I think it is worth noting that the origin of most of this shit is the generally poor state of our self images in this society and the fact that are taught to compensate for this by tearing others down rather than building ourselves up. This is reflected in racism, sexism and any number of other isms. This is not meant to excuse any behavior that people might find objectionable but rather an attempt to open the possibility of compassion which in turn might open the possibility of extricating ourselves from the cycle.
Considering beauty, it is not an unalloyed good that many people seem to believe. Joan Chen might want to be able to practice her craft without being asked 'you don't mind doing nudity, do you?' every single time. I have a friend who has been described, with some accuracy, as 'like a Greek god.' He does not seem to be significantly happier than I (more Norse god like) am.
Anyway and as always, just another middle aged, middle class white mans opinion in a world full of it.
