“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson
We all have our own opinions. That is our right, and no one can force you to change how you think – not even your parents, your spouse, or even your children.
Along with our right to express our own opinion, we also have the responsibility to be tactful in expressing them.
However, due to the freedom of social media, people can now easily express their opinions everywhere. Most of the time, they are eager to gain approval through likes, shares, and even followers.
People will always have something to say.
Just like this guy who always seems to be very active in making people upset with his opinions about women.
His post listed 12 qualities that make a woman “beautiful.”
The controversial tweet has already been deleted, but people were already able to take a screenshot of the said post. A.J.A Cortes’ post was clearly showing misogyny; which in turn started an outrage among people across the globe.
The self-proclaimed life coach, trainer, and writer have been posting several controversial tweets that show what type of a person he is.
According to his post, his criteria of a “beautiful woman” was that they should be thin, be a good cook, have long hair, wear make-up, sensual, feminine, graceful, should always shave, love the color pink, be fashionable and, of course, love men and listen to them.
The dude was in for a reality check.
He ends his tweet with, “stay classy ladies!”
Okay, we know you’re in disbelief right now, but there’s more.
This isn’t even his first time. Before, he posted a tweet that also went viral because he talks about how men should avoid women who choose unnatural hair colors.
Unnatural hair colors in woman are a warning signal to stay away,
Its an example Aposematism-the phenomenon of poisonous animals in nature advertising their toxicity and lethality

According to him, choosing unnatural hair colors is a shout for attention. For him, it’s a red flag for men, and they avoid these types of women at all costs because they are either dangerous or are experiencing some psychological issues.
He then warns “young Kings” to be mindful of these types of girls.
and When a seemingly stable female suddenly dies her hair crazy colors,
She's grappling with some immense inner turmoil and upheaval, the crazy has taken over
Stay away young Kings

Now, you don’t have to be a scientist to know what he is implying here.
In fact, according to studies, A.J.A Cortes possesses traits of a narcissist.
In no time, his tweet about the criteria of a beautiful woman went viral. Of course, people found his tweet offensive, mean, and misogynistic.
Many started replying to his sexist tweet, but instead of apologizing, A.J.A Cortes created another tweet about what he thinks is going on. According to this not-so-gentleman:
“I see a lot of you women are desperate for my validation and attention.”
He even attached a selfie; telling the women to satisfy their fantasies of him.

He also calls the women who disagree with him harpies.
Harpies were mythical creatures in Greek mythology. They had the form of a bird but with a human female face.
Can I just say, I absolutely don't mind being referred to as a harpie 😏 pic.twitter.com/pWuL4XStEb

He didn’t stop there, he tweeted many comments about women who were voicing their disapproval of his criteria. Surprisingly, there are a few men who actually agreed with him.
His aim to put down women backfired.
You simply can’t put down a person just to lift your ego.
We are no longer in the age where misogynistic behaviors are tolerated.
Here are just some of the replies that A.J.A Cortes received because of his tweet.
This one is our favorite! It really looks like he is describing himself.
We are all unique and beautiful, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
