At Least They're Committed

Are you effing kidding me? Seriously? So if King Tut himself had a wart, do you think anyone would give a rat’s ass? No, but this was highlighted as if it were some amazing discovery: “King Tut’s grandmother, the powerful and beautiful Queen Tiye, might have had an unattractive flat wart on her forehead, according to a mummy expert.” Evidently because “Queen Tiye” might have had a flat rise of tissue on her forehead, this is news? Is it, maybe, because she was considered beautiful? Someone has to find fault?

Queen Tiye was heralded as kind, thoughtful and intelligent and held in as high esteem as her husband; very much beloved by her people. But, no, some desperate researcher has determined she had a, gasp, WART!!!

I had a mole on my forehead that Enrique Iglacias would have cringed at (OK, that’s a big exagerration) and I had it removed because I live in the 21st Century and I wanted to brush the bangs off my forehead without people looking at me as if I’d revealed another forehead (an even bigger exaggeration). But who cares. I was cute and intelligent and very well loved before and after. Why, why, why do we have to find fault with powerful women of the past? Why are we picking on their complexions for Christ’s sake?

My reaction to the scientist who found a possible “flaw” in the beautiful Queen Tiye? Bitch, how ugly must you be, either inside or out, to gleefully find an imperfection of a beautiful and strong woman of the past? Get over your daddy issues. Are you fat and smoke (the most desperate of people indeed)? Did someone more attractive than you steal your man? Fine! That’s your issue. Let the rest of us,  living or dead, rest or live in peace. Jesus!
