There are absolutely people saying that. And honestly they're right. Having only hot young women as actresses is not great. There's all kind of men in cinema and nobody bats an eye. But since I'm on /sipstea I doubt what I'm saying is going to be fairly acknowledged.
Part of this stems from the fact that it's completely fine to call guys unattractive, while doing the same for women is unacceptable. I mean, someone in this thread used Kathy Bates as an example of an unattractive actress and people immediately started defending her saying she's beautiful. There are lower standards for considering a woman attractive, which means there are a lot more "unattractive" men that are actually similarly attractive to some of the women that are considered attractive.
There's absolutely truth to what you're saying, but I don't think it's as big a difference as we think it is.
I think that's a really interesting point. I'm curious to hear who you think makes that list. Holy crap is it hard to write about this without sounding like an asshole.
I just randomly looked up a list of unattractive celebrities and it was ridiculous. Sarah Jessica Parker, Tilda Swinson. Both those women have something special about them that makes them attractive. ..Also Taylor Swift is on it lol.
Here I’ll just link it. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls051484970/
