I never saw this dotted line people draw between overly sexual behavior and low intelligence, at least not anywhere in real life. One could argue Sister Sweden has found ways to get what she wants out of life, and to get people to treat her the way she wishes to be treated, with less effort, and by doing things she doesn't mind, as opposed to things she would. Seems rather clever to me in the grander scheme of things.

Oh the flipside exists; unintelligent, small-minded entitled brats who believe they deserve to be handed whatever they want with no effort, just because they think they're more attractive/inherently more important than most.

S-Sweden has never given me that sort of impression. She seems like a warm and outgoing person, who sees her own sexuality and beauty not as a weapon to use against the witless (most of the time ;) ) but more like a gift she can share.

There's a very accurate expression about wealth, kind of overturning the stereotypes of rich white villains used in movie and TV: "Money makes good people better, and bad people worse". Money is only a means to an end, after all; a tool to achieve your goals. If you're a horrible person, you have horrible goals, and having money just makes them achievable (likely to the misfortune of many). On the flipside, if you're a good person, money allows you to both start and run charities that help the less fortunate, and that's how virtually every charity ever has gotten off the ground: a good person with money who wanted to give back to the world that gave so much to them.

Why do I mention wealth? I was just thinking that that truism can be applied to beauty and sex appeal too: "Hotness makes good people better, and bad people worse." Makes sense?
