I was browsing the Forever 21 Canadian website tonight and came across this refrigerator magnet for sale:
Excuse me? Are idiotic messages like this still going around reinforcing the idea that attractive people can’t also be smart? Bullshit! And shame on you, Forever 21!

I totally agree. I can’t believe there are going to be people who buy this too.
Women who are smart and excel in math are beautiful! What a bunch of rubbish crap they are feeding to the young girls. Thanks for this post!

Hi Sue,
It makes me sad if girls are buying this and if they think it’s cool to play dumb. I really wish that there were more positive and encouraging messages out there.
I’m really glad that you agree how ludicrous this message is. People CAN have it all – brains and beauty.
