Is the beauty myth good to men? It hurts them by teaching them how to avoid loving women. It prevents men from actually seeing women.

Trade wars aren't started by countries appealing to respected, independent trade authorities. Rather, trade wars begin when one country decides to violate international trade rules to undercut another country's industries. ↗
