Quote - > Quote - There's a lot of pressure out there for  women to be "perfect" despite the varying definitions of it.

Yup.  In social currency, men are supposed to have wealth and power, women youth and attractiveness.

An old, ugly, fat man can still get any woman he wants if he's rich and powerful.  The same does not hold true for women, no matter how much money or power they have.

That's all part of our hard-wiring.  Men want to impregnate women who look like they can produce healthy offspring, so youth is the ideal.  Women have to bear the burden of birth and rearing, so they are looking for a man who has access to resources.  Of course, these subconscious trends often combine with other traits to produce the wide and kooky palette of human behavior. Dawn will wind up reflecting many of our odd views of life.
