For example, he has absolutely no evidence — other than his own poor assessment of the lives of women — that “ugly women are much more likely to kick people.”

Mr. Brubaker obviously does not know very many women, and I’m sure, after this column, will meet even fewer; otherwise, he would not have made such an outlandish evaluation of the psyches of beautiful and ugly women. It goes without saying, for most intelligent people, that one’s physical appearance is in no way correlated to the level of happiness. However, because it is obvious that Mr. Brubaker is not most intelligent people, I’ve written to clue him in: One’s physical appearance is in no way correlated to their level of happiness.
