    That is quite true. Even for Indians who never leave their country, ‘The lighter the skin the better.’ Matrimonial ads (for people of both sexes wanting to get married) almost always use the words ‘fair skin wanted.’ Being darker is more acceptable in a man than a woman. I think this is true for many Asian countries, such as Japan. Other than the skin color, though, I am not aware of any preferences about nose and lip size.

    When someone uses a pejorative word to hurt you sometimes you respond by turning that word around and making it a source of pride. Some feminists did this with the word ‘bitch’ which some now wear as a badge of honor. It seems to make sense for only those who bear the cross of such words to be the only ones to employ this strategy of ‘war of words’
