Because we don't wanna assimilate to someone else's (boy) standards of what is or isn't.

As quoted in Fierce, Funny Feminists, The Feminist eZine.

People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer. I mean, it's not like Stevie Nicks or Linda Ronstadt were dogs. It's not like this is some new thing. But there was at one point a larger variety, but now the catchphrase is "the whole package," the "American Idol" reality that you're a model first and a singer second.
