Sure, I dig all the memes that challenge irrational beauty standards, but I find it a little annoying when so many of them celebrate intelligence over beauty. I posit that both of these things, "intelligence" and "beauty" as they are both currently socially constructed, are to a great degree influenced by genetics. Of course, what people do with the genes they get certainly determines to what pote

ntial those genes are expressed, but it is as unfair and isolating to suggest that people who are not as intelligent as others are somehow subpar humans. I think that it is actually more mean spirited -- even cruel -- to put people down for not being smart enough than it is to put people down for not being pretty enough. I say, let's make a shift toward appreciating kindness, compassion, etc. -- qualities that we have a bit more control over.
