Natural Beauty

Natural beauty is considered to be superior. Beauty achieved by make-up or cosmetics surgery is considered superficial or artificial.

Let me put an analogy.
Person A is born in a rich family. So s/he was born naturally rich.
Person B was born in a poor family. B worked hard and later acquired money through effort.
Putting the same logic here, Person A is a naturally prosperous and thereby would be superior to person B who only has artificial money. But we do not consider it so, we consider person B better. Why not think the same way for beauty ?

Why do we give importance or luck rather than hard work?

Natural beauty is a sheer luck of the person being born beautiful. On the other hand, someone who put makeup or went through cosmetic surgery actually wasn't endowed with beauty as a free gift but worked hard to achieve it. We merrily go around denouncing beauty achieved through work and putting natural beauty ahead of it.

Second part of my argument, why is cosmetic surgery considered bad ? Why only the lucky people should be the ones to get compliments all their lives and all others live in oblivion. What’s wrong if a person who was not lucky enough to be born beautiful wants to look good and be complimented?

I know it leads to a competition, but so do all other aspects of life. People go for degrees and courses to improve their career, what’s wrong if some people do things to improve their looks.

Indecent Attire

There is a belief among some people that women who dress provocatively attract violence and mis-behavior.

Let me dissect dressing provocatively.

1. In Taliban controlled Afghanistan, even one inch of skin showing was considered indecent. They didn’t allow even an ankle to be seen. So by their standards, exposing feet is provocative dressing.

2. In Pakistan, its not so bad, women are expected to cover their heads, but I guess face and feet being visible is considered normal. Anything more would be provocative.

3. In India, wearing sleeveless tops is acceptable; bottoms which cover the knees are acceptable. Anything less is provocative. One hypocrisy being - waist showing is decent if one is wearing a saree but indecent if wearing a western outfit.

4. USA. I need not explain.

Now let’s looks at crime/atrocities against women in these 4 regions.

I guess all would agree that the crimes are opposite to what one would expect by the "provocative dressing" logic.

I'm sure if there was a society where being nude was perfectly acceptable, it would have even lesser crime against women than USA. Probably data can be taken from some tribes on this.

Fallacies

Common lame arguments people put forth when their view has no merit.

It has faced the test of time. It has been happening for eons, so it must be correct.

All the people are not fools. So the facts of the world would be decided by democracy. If they all agree (as they did once) that the earth is flat, it becomes flat.

It's against nature (or against god's will). Oh yes, nature came to you and told you what's against it.

You are only a child, you don’t know anything. Any you as an adult are 1000 times stupider.

There must be some reason. Very nice logic.

You just argue and don’t accept anyone's point. QED.
