		<description>When looks are all you&#039;ve got, then you end up with Miss Teen South Carolina and Sarah Palin!

Not being attractive means trying harder, working for everything you get, and appreciating it more.  It makes you tougher regarding taking criticism and also more sympathetic toward others when they are having bad times.

I think attractive people get bored with how easily things come to them. I&#039;ll never be bored, and that&#039;s a blessing in disguise.</description>

		<description>I have to say that your article was well written and very thought provoking. As far as your looks, I don&#039;t care what you look like, as long as you keep writing articles like this...</description>

		<description>Of course what happened to Erin is terrible, but I find it ironic to hear other female sports reporters express their indignation that one of their own has suffered such an invasion of privacy. I’m sorry, when did the right to privacy become so valuable to you? You are the women who have chosen a profession that brings you into locker rooms full of naked professional male athletes. I guess this sacred right to privacy and modesty is highly subjective.</description>

		<description>Makes one think of Islam (not the Taliban&#039;s form of it) as a form of liberation theology.  Modesty is promoted and women pray in the back of the room for a pretty practical reason.</description>

		<description>This is really a sickening situation. Erin Andrews really deserved better than this. I mean, she wasn&#039;t even allowed privacy in her own hotel room. 

Taking those shots was an invasion of privacy, pure and simple.</description>

		<description>&quot;It’s 2009. Why are women still being treated like this?&quot;


Because women allow themselves to be treated like this.  Women dont want to be judged by their looks, but everywhere you turn is advertising with beautiful women promoting ways to be more beautiful.  Are they being forced to do these commercials or photo shoots? Nope.  They do it willingly and at the expense of other women.  

Men arent going to change.  Men arent going to get together and say lets stop ogling and judging women based on their looks.  That change has to come from women when they finally band together and stop slathering on the makeup and wearing clothing that accentuates their assets.  Stop telling us men that looks are important.  You want change?  Stop waiting for it to happen and start doing something about it.  Stop blaming men and men alone for this.  We are doing what people expect of us.

What happened to Erin Andrews is despicable and totally beyond the line of acceptable behavior.  But who didnt think it would get to this point with the amount of attention she and other attractive female sports reporters get?  IT should be about the quality of work one does.  It shouldnt be about what someone looks like.

  When one lowers themselves to bashing the person over their looks instead of bashing them over their ideas, they have proven that they have nothing relevant to add to the conversation.  Im not sure where you saw people saying EA deserved this.  All i&#039;ve seen is plenty of people condemning this, men and women.</description>
