Two female students from Concordia University are being slut-shamed for appearing too attractive in their student government campaign posters. In an opinion piece for The Concordian, fellow co-ed Kelsey Pudlowski slammed two female candidates, asking, “are these individuals running for student government positions or the chance to don a sparkly crown and sash?”

Besides insinuating that the two college students are vapid beauty queens, Pudlowski has accused the pair of smiling, wearing v-necks, using the color blue, and having bad campaign platforms. While the last grievance may be of actual relevance, the only real lesson Pudlowski has taught us is that women politicians (politciennes?) have and always will be judged on their appearances, kind of like all politicians. McCain was looking like a dried out husk next to the virile Obama, why else do you think they sexed him up with hot mama Palin?

If these candidates are savvy enough to put that judgment to good use with fresh-scrubbed smiles and shiny hair, who are we to complain? Our own ASUO elections could use some spice, and although former Oregon Commentator presidential candidate Pete Lesiak fought valiantly for a “full-service” ASUO, we still have to look at Amelie Roussaeu’s La Roux haircut day in and day out.
