Why can’t all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can’t we can’t we all be considered possible love interests?

Margaret Cho

About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

In these paired rhetorical questions, Cho challenges the narrow, culturally policed standards that determine who is allowed to be seen as “beautiful” and, more pointedly, who is granted romantic desirability. The shift from beauty to “possible love interests” underscores that aesthetic norms have social consequences: they shape dating, representation, and whose bodies are treated as worthy of attention and care. The repetition and insistence (“Why can’t we…”) reads as a critique of exclusion—often along lines of race, size, age, gender expression, and disability—and aligns with Cho’s broader comedic and activist work that confronts misogyny and racism by exposing how arbitrary and harmful these hierarchies are.
