ABSTRACT
Feminists do complain that men have for far too long wanted women only for the superficial characteristics, and it seems that the feminist refusal to please men sensually may be a way of trying to separate the men who want women for the right reasons from the ones who want only one thing. To dress up, or beautify, or aim to titillate men, is said to amount to packaging, which turns women into commodities, and is degrading. If the aim of the deliberately unadorned feminist is to make sure that men who have the wrong attitude to women have no interest in her, she is likely to succeed. If feminists make themselves deliberately unattractive, they are not only keeping off the men who would value their more important qualities too little, but are also lessening their chances of attaching men who care about such things at all.
