In today's society, the privileges associated with someone being "pretty" regardless of their race or sex are much more substantial than the privileges associated with someone being white.

Yep

And no group receives more negative "disparate impact" than flat out ugly people.

Being good looking is the difference between flirting and sexual harassment.

A quick review of the personalities on the various networks news organizations would tend to reveal that we shouldn't expect them to tackle this one anytime soon.

I've said this for 20 years.

"Whether something is sexual harassment is inversely proportional to how good looking the woman thinks you are".

"Oh baby nice arse" likely results in a good bout of fricking if uttered by Brad Pitt, and a solid sexual harassment lawsuit if uttered by Pee Wee Herman.

Ugly fat people, especially, 'cause I've seen a few fatties that had potential.

I am so good looking that some people just assume I am dumb, it is truly a curse.

Pretty people refusing to date ugly ones, and otherwise hanging with their own kind are faceists.

And, pretty people tend to recommend their pretty friends for jobs.

Hell, I've heard "pretty" almost used as a qualification.

IE......you should hire Julie as your executive admin. She is a solid worker and she "presents well".

I consider both flat out ugly people and fat people to be in the "non-pretty" category.

I think a lot of women and minorities who claim they are being discriminated against because of their sex or race are really being discriminated against because they are "non-pretty".

That's why there's a True Freak Union to help those unfortunate looking people fight back against the fascist, "Pretty Privileged"....

Ugly, fat, stupid, tattoos, smoker. I've seen some women who have all 5.

The entire concept of "________ Privilege" is just another Marxist ideation intended to break down our society.

At best, it's a cop-out explanation for why you suck at life.

I have so many DISADVANTAGES!!! Feel sorry for me!!!

Even if there is, that doesn't mean discussing "Pretty Privilege" here is a form of being "triggered".
