What are your thoughts and reactions to the article?

Gerbovaz’s article is mostly based on anecdotal evidence from her interviewees. Do you think this
benefits, or subtracts from, her call to de-fetishize the appearance of others?

In her closing argument, Gerbovaz laments, “let’s stop pretending that attractiveness
that does conform to the imposed standards (for the time being) isn’t a privilege” (40).
Do you think this is possible let alone realistic? Why or Why not?
