And Then, For Some Reason, Amy Schumer Took Her Clothes Off and Posed Nude for Annie Liebowitcz, And Then For Some Other Reason, People Began Saying She Was Beautiful

Eh. She's a very average looking woman. She's not really ugly or anything.

But also... not any kind of girl of your dreams, either.

It's just -- this is a weird double-game the sexual left plays. On one hand, they insist that no one sexually objectify them. On the other hand, they put out naked pictures of themselves.

That's not the only double game going on here, either. Because while Schumer is presenting herself in a sexualized manner -- here's my naked body -- she insists simultaneously that you do not score her according to the rules of the game she is playing. That is, when she appears naked (for no good reason), she doesn't want an honest assessment of how she looks naked; she still wants you to evaluate her by what she thinks is her inherent value as a human being.

But I could do that -- and in fact usually did do that -- when she had her clothes on.

The only new variable here is her body, so what else is there to talk about except he body, and what shape she's in?

Now that she has her clothes off -- Eh, a somewhat over-gallant five for her age group.

What else am I supposed to say? Should I say she's beautiful? She's not. And I wouldn't be remarking on this in either direction save for the fact she is implicitly now telling the world she wants to be rated not on on her inner beauty (whatever that is), but her actual beauty.

Like I said: Meh.

Very average, like most people are quite average looking (me included). I don't get why average looking people wish to compete in a game in which they have so little actual ability.
