The metaphor chosen is weak because it requires a generalization of others choices that is false.

"Remember the girls in school who were not overly ugly or attractive yet still wanted to be the center of attention?"

No, I remember individuals who died their hair because they liked the style and wanted to express what it meant to them.

In all sincerity I appreciate the concern, and I do understand the comparison the author has made, I even agree with some of the observations.
