Naomi Wolf said this quote

Women are mere beauties in men's culture so that culture can be kept male. When women in culture show character, they are not desirable, as opposed to the desirable. A beautiful heroine is a contradiction in terms, since heroism is about individuality, interesting and ever changing, while beauty is generic, boring, and inert. While culture works out moral dilemmas, beauty is amoral: If a woman is born resembling an art object, it is an accident of nature, a fickle consensus of mass perception, a peculiar coincidence--but it is not a moral act. From the beauties in male culture, women learn a bitter amoral lesson--that the moral lessons of their culture exclude them.
