I'll say it: I want to see an ugly woman as a spokeswoman for a women's network. Ugly men are out there all the time — look at Larry King, for God's sake. He looks like someone's talking underwear. Why not give America a spokeswoman who ain't much to look at but is competent as Hell? If accomplishments actually count for women, this ought to be a no-brainer. John Scalzi
About This Quote

An ugly woman is not only a spokesperson for a women's network, she is also a spokesperson for women. She is an image of self-made woman who has risen above what society had deemed beautiful and accepted her as “ugly”. It is such a refreshing change that the world needs more beautiful and inspirational people like her in the media. Â
