I suppose I am unkind about it, because I am spoiled, but there is a premium in our society on being an attractive woman. The higher I have climbed in the corporate ladder, the more it has mattered to me that I am appreciated for my ability. But I always have it mixed in with how I look. I have my own maintenance to consider on a continual basis and then I have this edge on other women, which is what happens when you are the prettier one.
