The Faceless Woman


For my writing class we are reviewing each other's stories. One I'm reading has a very minor character, a waitress, who allows her customers to put her payment into her cleavage. I have so very many problems with this, but it did draw my attention to something interesting.

When I see this woman, I see a voluptuous woman – that is, a woman with big tits – wearing a bright, low-cut dress, with dark curvaceous hair (she's Latina), and absolutely no face. She's like something out of a science fiction movie with a pale blankness where her face should be.

Because she has no personality, I didn't fill in a face for her.

I was less than pleased, she said in an understated manner. I think he had no idea that he was doing it.

That's the second story by a man that I've betad, and the second story by a man that treated women as second class citizens. The other wasn't as bad as this one though; his wife had looked it over before he gave it to the writing club.
