women whom Hollywood keeps trying to market as pretty

I'm gonna be superficially male here and get something off my chest. Here's a list of meh women who really don't deserve the status they currently have in society. And yes, I realize I wouldn't pass any beauty tests, either, so feel free to kick my ass in the comments:

Sofia Boutella... hard no for me

Lashana Lynch—they're marketing her hard, but I'm not buying

Anna Kendrick—great comic actress and singer; her face... "has character"

Queen Latifah—blandly pretty, I guess, but kinda hefty and Hausfrau-ish


Sandra Oh: credit for never getting surgery and for being talented

Meryl Streep, an example of talent trumping surface appearances

the Streisand Effect = hypnotizing people into giving you romantic roles in your heyday

Reese Witherspoon: Someone saw past the surface and decided to give her a chance.

Kyra Sedgwick: Please stop giving her romantic roles.

Bella Hadid: not so bella

Julia Roberts—just why?

Anyone you'd add to the list? Anyone you'd remove?

I could do a lot more cruel lists in this spirit. How about "Women who started off pretty but now look scary after drugs, Ozempic, and surgery"? Megan Fox would probably top that list.
