Successful atheist is successful. 

I know Borlaug’s name but not the other guy’s. 

I can’t even read magazines anymore. All I see is, “How to change the way you look so men will like you!” And they use really annoying euphemisms to tell you what’s wrong with your body. Apple, pear, athletic, busty, full-figured. And don’t get me started on the advertisements:

• Schick Quattro for Women (it’s for women because we need special, fugly pink and purple things, right? And men have to have tough, aggressive things!): “Go ahead, take a vacation from shaving…A shave so smooth, you can skip a day or two.” Oh, wow. Thank god I have this relaxing vacay for a day where I can *treat myself* to a little reprieve from my assumedly daily responsibliity to make sure my skin is smooth so that men will like touching me! Then the ad says, “Free your skin.” If my skin was free, it would be allowed to grow the things in its follicles. 
• DERMAdoctor: This is a moisturizing treatment for a dry skin condition which I happen to have. “Skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and boyfriend worthy.” The word choice here bothers me especially. Usually, they beat around a bush. But yes, if you don’t do all these time- and money-consuming things to your body, you’re not worthy of male attention! 
• Tria: This is a personal hair removal laser. Again we are seeing the theme of “free yourself of unwanted hair and…endless shaving and waxing…” This appeal is just not very effective for me because I have stopped just blindly accepting the idea that having shallow, horny men “appreciate” me is not worth a lifetime of endless shaving and waxing. An ad for this brand in a different magazine issue says that smooth skin is the “ultimate” accessory, more desirable than sandals or sunglasses. Yes, if you don’t shave, you’re a complete loser. And yes, protecting your feet and eyes is no longer chic. 
• Skinny Cow: A female, anthropomorphic cow lies in a seductive pose above the brand name with a measuring tape wrapped around her waste. I couldn’t tell you what her proportions are, but they’re probably unrealistic for many women. To me, the message is that if you eat deserts, you’re a cow. And while I don’t share these sentiments about animals, the idea is that their brainless, dirty, have no self-control, etc. Oh, but it’s okay if you’re skinny. In fact, if you’re skinny, we can excuse any number of personal shortcomings: gluttony, pride, envy. You had just better not be the least bit fat!
