Cosmopolitan is under fire Sunday night over an article in a now-deleted tweet that named “The 10 Most Beautiful Women in the World, According to Science.” You see, all 10 of these women, according to science, are white which, was a problem for some on Twitter:
Did @Cosmopolitan delete this tweet? https://t.co/vd0y0bEHTs pic.twitter.com/eoe1ubEDU4

In 2017 Cosmo still sees fit to sell white=beauty based on 'science' that excludes non-whiteness cc @Tomi_Ola @WritersofColour https://t.co/YFwxkKPlAK

So we're back to using scientific racism in public like we don't know what it is? Oh. https://t.co/ZB7uMdMoSd

The article has disappeared from Cosmo’s website as well…

…but before it was deleted, we noticed that it was a reprint of this 2016 article from Women’s Day. The “science” in question was created by a British plastic surgeon:
It all comes down to an ancient Greek philosophy called the Phi ratio, which Julian De Silva, M.D., of the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery used along with computer facial mapping to determine which famous women have the ideal face ratio and symmetry.
And he found that these were the 10 most beautiful women in the world:
1. Amber Heard 91.85%
2. Kim Kardashian 91.39%
3. Kate Moss 91.06%
4. Emily Ratajkowski 90.8%
5. Kendall Jenner 90.18%
6. Helen Mirren 89.93%
7. Scarlett Johansson 89.82%
8. Selena Gomez 89.57%
9. Marilyn Monroe 89.41%
10. Jennifer Lawrence 89.24%
It appears that liberals only believe the “science is settled” when it’s science they agree with.
