Canadian study showed parents more likely to neglect 'unattractive' children
From another article with a link to the study about children with cleft palate: Cuteness doesn’t just trigger an immediate response, but it facilitates caregiving, empathy, and compassion. a lack of cuteness interrupts the mother-child dynamic, slowing the mother-child responsiveness that’s been found to be so crucial to emotional development.
Unattractive groups are perceived as less attractive than the average attractiveness of their members Groups with some very attractive members make the whole group seem more attractive and vice versa. This may explain why low-tier normies like to surround themselves with stacies.
Perceived physical attractiveness gives female students an advantage in academic settings.
Attractive female academics are rated as better teachers Interestingly, the University of Memphis study found no correlation for male academics between how their looks were perceived and how their performance was rated.
The earning gap between people perceived as attractive and unattractive rivals or exceeds the earning gap between white and Black adults Would be interesting to dig into intersectional lookism (ableism, racism)…
Physically attractive people earn 15% more
Quintuple jeopardy for female job seekers depicts that physical appearances discrimination exists in all gender preference groups and spreads over all job advertisement categories. Proportion of physical appearances discrimination for job advertisements with female preference is higher compared to male or gender-neutral preferences in all job categories. These results show that in most of the job categories, companies prefer to offer job vacancies to male job seekers regardless of their physical appearances while female job seekers have to fulfil some requirements related to physical appearances to get an equal opportunity with their counterparts - female job seekers are preferred to be single, younger, and good looking to get an equal opportunity with their male counterparts to apply for jobs.
Attractive people are less likely to be arrested and convicted, and receive lighter sentences One study found that when unattractive criminals committed a moderate misdemeanor, their fines were about four times as large as those of attractive criminals.
Ugly Animals Ignored In Scientific Studies making them go extinct The story about proboscis monkeys rated as the ugliest animals who received no support until the meme campaign started making fun of them that raised awareness, sympathy and initiated crowdfunding. Reminds me of all this femcel art and articles tbh – unless we’re shown as circle animals no sympathy for femcels
Very unattractive workers can out-earn pretty people Seems like overcompensation to me, ntm the fraction of very ugly people would be tiny which skews results

About the parents thing there was a movie about an ugly girl and there was this scene that shows how her parents ended up giving her cake to her better looking younger sister. There was also another scene that when the younger sister went missing they were really worried and when the ugly girl tried to find her she ended up being stuck in some town with no one to care for her, she eventually went back home without any of her family noticing. It's called welcome to the dollhouse
Studies also mention that parents prefer giving toys to pretty children (also adopt them more often) and they spend more time looking at pretty baby faces, pretty kids have to do less chores and receive less punishments (I look for exact links during Christmas holidays).
I barely remember Welcome to the dollhouse except that is hard to watch and it makes you wanna die. Same feeling I had while watching Tideland. Someone has to care for these kids, someone has to care for adults as well, this absurd world is too much to bear. (idk why I'm talking in rhymes lately)

That movie was a tough watch, the main character was just left in total defeat by the end, relegated to the shadows, all her dreams dreamt alone, all her nightmares suffered in silence and at a distance from most. For all its other somewhat hyperbolized and wacky plot points, the film was pretty realistic when it came to the main character’s living hell and neglect. The favored sibling/forgotten sibling dynamic also hit too close to home. I could never quite pin down the character of the brother though, he seemed almost complicit but then I thought he had a moment of compassion, still not enough to try to change anything though.

Oh I watched that movie! I first found it on the old Femcel community on Reddit! They said it is one of the very few movies that has an accurate portrait of what being an ugly teenager girl is like... There is a sequel to it too! Did you watch the sequel?
No I didn't even watch the first movie just watched a video explanation of it

All these studies and people deny that pretty privilege exists...
It’s maddening, because even common sense should tell them all they need to know, even their own constant participation in what they deny. Then someone(s) could take the effort to put things in terms of scientific studies, just to nip any naysaying in the bud, and people will still contort their cerebral organ in order to avoid the truth, or the cost of it.
Appearance discrimination could literally happen right in front of their faces and they will try to put their head under the sand.

Very good collection of things that others continue to avert their eyes from, at our expense (as if the facts and studies themselves weren’t bad enough for us to have to live with). And I completely agree about the overcompensation theory, no doubt that’s the case. They “can” out-earn only because they worked their asses off beyond measure, for that to even be a possibility.
Do we have the option of saving or bookmarking posts? In-site. Anybody know? I’m on mobile so either I can’t see the option from here or I am selectively blind. I’ve wanted to do this for many posts, like this one, but I don’t see a button for it.
