"Actress X isn't attractive, she has a strong jawline"
This seems like such a weird deal breaker to me, but I see it applied to actresses all the time and it's weird and vaguely misogynistic and transphobic.

It's misogynistic and transphobic to consider someone unattractive because they have a feature that could be considered masculine?
I agree that it is a weird deal breaker, and it's very nitpicky, but come on. The person isn't a bigot.
It seems like someone has been to /pol/...
Seriously, though, that's the opposite of the real world trend, which is why women like Olivia Wilde are so popular recently.
Olivia Wilde is very attractive...

Actress X sounds like some kind of Japanese Super Acting Robot. Jessica Parker is actually the sixth of their Alpha line.
She's Super Acting Robot Alpha Hex (S.A.R.A.H.) Jessica Parker.
Is that the premise of some webcomic or something? 'cos, I wouldn't be all that surprised if it is.
That she is. But I don't think she would've been such a hit if "manjaws" weren't generally considered attractive.
Wait, the point of too-manly jaws is Olivia Wilde? Good lord, I was thinking, like, David Coulthard or BTAS Batman or something.
^ aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Naas: Nono, it's just nonsense that I made up.

See what I'm getting at?
If there's anything I don't get about all this, it's the part where people tell other people which physical features they are and aren't allowed to like or dislike. I mean, far be it from me to call Olivia Wilde out on her jawline (which I wouldn't have noticed), but if someone else is turned off by it, I don't see how that can be helped. It only annoys me when that person then whines about other people liking Wilde, or, as above ^, when people exaggerate someone's noticeable features, or something.
tl;dr: I see what Myr's getting at, but I don't think that that says anything really bad about a person unless attention is drawn to it. I certainly don't see how a jawline complaint is inherently transphobic, of all things.
I was going to say that, but I was afraid I already have a reputation.
What is up with people needing to scrutinize other people's physical appearances so much, especially considering aspects that cannot be naturally changed (and plastic surgery being a whole other can of worms)?
