Melania Trump, victim of the sexism professed by her husband
It is not the first time that a woman has been qualified by her physique, nor that they attribute certain abilities to her, even the husband of the protagonist of this story is, possibly, the misogynist number, a practitioner of all of the above. Of Melania, the wife of Donald Trump, a presenter has said that she is "too pretty" to be first lady, something that has made us remember those cases in which, unfairly, beauty turned against them.
While some try to achieve the ideal of beauty imposed and considered perfect, others curse to fulfill it. Or, at least, it turns against him. The last to suffer it has been Melania Trump, wife of the Republican candidate, defined as a woman "too pretty to be a first lady." It is clear that being first lady is not strictly a profession, and it would have been worse to hear that someone restricts women from certain specialties because of their beauty, but, again, physical appearance is the basis of a woman's judgment.
This debate began on the television talk show host Wendy Williams: she repeatedly emphasized to Melania Trump that she was "too pretty to be the first lady of the United States." She criticized the fact that she had been a model and that there were "photographs where she taught more than necessary." A sample of the conservatism that still exists in this, the first world power. Apparently, the case of Carla Bruni, a former model and singer who served as First Lady in France during the government of Nicolas Sarkozy, has not penetrated this journalist.
In any case, it is ironic that Melania Trump is the victim of a sexism professed by her husband. And it is that there are not few episodes in which Donald Trump has openly revealed a macho behavior. One of the last victims of this tycoon who came to own the rights to the Miss Universe pageant? The model Heidi Klum, of whom he said that "it is no longer a 10". She answered in the wisest and funniest way possible, turning her response viral, as a sign of the anti-sex movement.
But this is not the only case in which a spectacular physique seems to be a problem, or so it is told by celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and SofĂa Vergara among others, who are considered too beautiful to play an ordinary girl role. "When juicy roles appear, I have witnessed, beautiful people are the first to be separated," said Charlize Theron in an interview.
For her part, Jennifer Lawrence was about to run out of her role in Winter's Bone (2010) because of her beauty. "I auditioned twice in Los Angeles and they told me I was too pretty. The auditions continued in New York and I showed up again. We talked for hours and basically I convinced them I was ugly enough to play the character." he said in an interview in 2009.
