The problem I have with Religion: Beauty

Just as women should have the right to be free from beauty standards without shame, men should have the right to look beautiful without shame and without having to resort to changing their gender (although gender is a social construct, which is non-existent whereas biological sex is). Religions such as Christianity and Chrislam (a blend of Christianity and Islam) expects females to be "creatures of beauty"as if a female's sole worth is based on her physical appearances or whatever that's conventionally considered "beautiful". You see, I identify as a Christian (as I believe there is a God, study Christian scripture, and most of my religious practices happen to be Christian-based), however, I don't agree with many churches' sexist stance on what a female should be. Many Christian fundamentalists deem females as mere decorations created to pop out babies, serve men in bed, and in the kitchen...and that's about it. However, every female has the potential to do much more than that and males are able to nurture and do housework no problem as well. Toxic masculinity within our culture is the reason why some males tend to make bad nurturers though...but that's the result of our social environment, not the result of nature. To say females are inherently more beautiful than males or are "creatures of beauty" actually reinforces porn culture as most of the products of pornography consist of female bodies...sexual decorations for male pleasure. Males can be just as beautiful if only our culture allows them to be. Let's face it, not every girl or woman out there is beautiful looking (I certainly am not to the masses) and there are actually males who are more beautiful looking than some females.

(Image above reveals a beautiful man who defies social norms and potentially likes vulvas. Obviously he is more gorgeous looking than I am.) So just because a woman isn't beautiful looking according to conventional standards, doesn't make her less of a woman. Doesn't make her less worthy. And just because a man doesn't look nor act macho, it doesn't mean he is less of a man. Again, gender is a social construct. Societal roles don't get to define who we truly are nor does it change how we were biologically designed. A woman doesn't have to be beautiful,"hot", sexy, cute, nor pretty. She doesn't have to be any of those shallow traits. She can be strong, intelligent, compassionate, talented, inspirational, admirable...or she can be all of those. When we limit females to superficial traits only, we limit their rights to be viewed and treated as human beings. When a man is dressed in pink, wears make up, has long hair, or wears high heels, takes good care of his appearances, that doesn't automatically make him gay nor transsexual. It can mean he's comfortable enough with his sexuality that he is able to go against gender roles and glamorize himself however he wants and to his liking (or his wife/girlfriend's liking as there are females such as myself who prefer pretty boys). We should stop judging and shaming people for refusing to conform to gender roles as gender roles don't apply to everyone and more often than not do more harm than good in the long run.
