Male chauvinism

Male chauvinism

A Poem by Dupur Mitra

Boy said-

You are beautiful like a bird, 
flying in the sky, sky is my heart.

Girl said- 

You are smart like a sky, 
everyday, every times I want to fly.

cute! I notice the boy compliments appearance, while the girl compliments intelligence, but both compare to the sky above. Nice work. ~em

Beauty is a concept and not a fixed reality. Thus Shakespeare says in Love's Labors Lost, "Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye". So I fail to note a denigration or patronization in the context that would merit the title "chauvinism". In my own humble opinion it is better that beauty be bought by the mind, heart and spirit. However, I do not demean or revile a fairness of complexion or a pleasing appearance. Beauty is subjective.

ahhh......yes, he comments on her looks instead of her brains, I have had a lifetime of such compliments, starting with my parents......conditioning from youth. That is why I try to compliment my beautiful daughters on other characteristics as well! Looks fade, and then what have you fed in the soul? A woman afraid to grow old!
