The true threat to beauty is exploitation. Especially since rape is a successful reproductive strategy of men. It is no coincidence that they select attractive young women of childbearing age.
A study cites that most rape victims have long hair, a signal of abundant health and sign of womanly beauty, and not short hair. What works for you also works against you. This includes a woman's crowning glory.
Despite the dangers, we pursue beauty. We must. The benefits are too great to forfeit to fear.
I think you should expound on this more. I like the thought process and would like to read more of the correlation you have made. ;-)
