I don't think she's wrong for her feelings, but just ignorant to the difference cultural context.

Cultural relativism is such a cop out argument. There are probably plenty of educated women in Colombia and the rest of Latin America who would agree. It's more of an individual feeling because so many North American women would agree with Sofia... well until they lose their looks.

And obviously the bit about killing herself is a joke. Damn, you girls are so jealous that it gives me secondhand embarrassment to be around you.

Obviously the killing part wasn't supposed to be taken literally. You're giving me second hand embarrassment by assuming that people thought so, especially the accusation of "jealousy."
Regardless, the fact watching herself age has been excruciating to watch confirms the point in the made in the post.
As for being a great access and speaking two languages, how does that make her smart? Being bilingual or trilingual is not something uncommon for most of us.
