Although the article entitled ‘ It is still beauty before brains’ by Chok Suat Ling makes sense, but the first paragraph doesn’t fit with the last paragraph. The first paragraph talks about the 50th National Women Day celebration, whereas the last paragraph talks whether beauty is a blessing or curse which does not seems to be compatible.
Furthermore, I think the author should see this problem not just from one side but from others' point of view as well. Rather than making her own assumption that everyone considers beauty first, she should realise the existence of certain people who give more importance for brain than beauty.
Besides that, I definitely would say that the author fails to define certain hard words. One such example would be 'corpus collasum'. I am very sure only people of medical or scientific background will understand this term, as it is not an English word but a medical term. I think the article would be more interesting to read if we know what we are reading. So, it would have been best if the author was to give the definition of the term, 'corpus collasum'.
In a nutshell, this article needs to be polished a lot more but definitely is able to create an awareness among the readers about discrimination towards women by judging them based on their physical appearance.
