...but wasn't that the point? She's a metaphor.

[nyxelestia]

Mutants are regularly used as stand-ins for oppressed or discriminated groups in general. In the comics, this leans towards a lot of parallels with the black civil rights and gay rights movement, but here it looks like she is being used as a metaphor for women (though possibly unintentionally).

The dilemma was never that she had to put so much effort into looking acceptable to society, it was that she had to at all. Women shouldn't have to strive to look acceptable to society, and neither should she. The amount of effort it takes to do so was never part of the problem.
