Even when I was four decades younger. Worse, I think, is judging women's intellectual and political worth by their appearance.

Who gives a flying whatever if Hillary Clinton has gained or lost a few pounds, or if her ankles are swollen? It's what she says and does that matters. And Ann Coulter isn't ugly because of her appearance: it's her words that are repulsive (having said that, I must admit I once captioned Coulter as a praying mantis. I thought it captured her personality perfectly).
