Summary

This quote, attributed to Oscar Wilde, exemplifies a cynical and objectifying viewpoint towards women. It suggests that a woman's worth is solely based on her physical appearance. By reinforcing the notion of beauty determining how one should treat women, this quote objectifies and devalues women who are considered "plain." It dismisses the importance of respect, equality, and genuine emotional connections, reducing women to mere objects of desire rather than complex individuals deserving of genuine care and appreciation.
