Should there be laws/rights to protect unattractive women?

[Anonymous]

Rights and laws to protect unattractive women from getting overlooked in job interviews, and to protect against them getting longer prison sentences than what they would otherwise face if they were more attractive.

Also, a law to ban men's insensitive tendency to flirt with an attractive woman standing right next to an unattractive woman. I mean honestly, why do men think that that is okay? Fine, you think the other one is attractive, but have the decency to wait until there aren't any other women around for god sakes.

Explain why you are all voting no. It's just as mean to deny unattractive women of attractive women's privileges as it is to publicly announce that a woman is unattractive

[MCheetah]

No, that's stupid, and unattractive men get 100x more sh*t than any woman does, regardless of her looks. Stop pushing your feminist dogma onto people, Meg Griffin. What's worse is, you're still in your 20s, meaning I'm probably uglier than you. You probably get dozens of men hitting on you and reject them for being short, "creepy," "only after sex," or some other BS.

I think I know who wrote this anyway... Same chick who was posting angry selfies and then whining when people gave her advice on the pictures she posted.

So, who is right? my neighbor on the side of me thinks the girl down the street is a ugly dog but my other neighbor across the street thinks she is gorgeous... Does such a law protect her or not? who is to determine if she is pretty or pretty ugly? The judge? He would have to uphold such an outlandish set of bull crap? how do people come up with this load of dung? There should be a law against judging people on their attractiveness or lack of. Judge those who judge others I say... By the same measure that they judge then let them be judged also...

[Asker]

It's a question of judging based unconscious bias or conscious bias. My proposed laws allows jury members at least to recognize why they might favor one criminal over another who committed the exact same crime.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sweetheart. You might think I'm a 10, the next person might think I'm a 2. It all depends on who is saying it. No one is unattractive, they just have certain features that you would not find attractive. I think I'm a solid 9/10 but I've heard men say I'm a 10 and some say a 6 and some say I'm not attractive at all. But who really cares?

[Asker]

Because it's not a 50/50 score of preferences. A woman is either USUALLY seen as unattractive or USUALLY attractive

[LazerBean]

Ah yes, there's been soany "little man syndrome" questions lately, it was only a matter of time before ugly women recompensation questions started popping up.

[Asker]

I assume you're attractive then

[LazerBean]

I mean if you're going to assume that I'm attractive, I can assume that you have no other positive qualities to compensate for being ugly.

[Asker]

Fair enough

[Summeroflove]

Might sound good. But you can’t really prove in many cases that was the reason. See you have to prove something.


Yeah. Unfortunately that kind of stuff happens. But. It would be hard to prove. And people would abuse it to play the victim. Even if they’re clearly in the wrong.

[Asker]

You're right.

[20yearsolder]

That's funny, I'm sure that it happens occasionally but if you're extremely qualified for the job, I don't think whether you're unattractive or attractive is a deciding factor

[Asker]

'extremely', confirming that attractive women don't have to work as hard as long as there are ugly women with the same skill set applying

[20yearsolder]

I wasn't confirming shit, you make it sound like if a qualified unattractive woman shows up and a attractive unqualified woman shows up than the unqualified beauty is going to get the job

[Asker]

I mean if the only difference between the two is attractiveness, the attractive woman will get the job

[andreasderjuengere]

To explain my ''no'':

For such a law to come into effect, a woman would have to 'qualify' and to prove to be unattractive.

Any volunteers?

As for flirting: If 'you' can't stand competition, then simply stay away :) I will not let anyone dictate me where or when to feel attracted to someone.

[Jamie05rhs]

I already follow that policy: I don't flirt with a woman that I find attractive if she's with another woman. I do that because I want to be courteous and not hurt the other girl's feelings.

[FreyaRed]

What next? Obese people demand laws against gravity?

[Anonymous]

No, should be seperation of the genders into two walled off continents with no connection whatsoever
The problem would be solved

[red324]

Unattractive guys get the same treatment. I remember one time I was working for a lady and noticed months later she had someone else working and she came home got changed and is wearing something much more revealing than she did with me...

[Sixgunsound]

When you’re willing to legislate men to have the same level of privilege that women in general do, then we can talk about specific classes of women.

[Avicenna]

Well, who decides which women are unattractive and under what rubric? It seems demeaning.

[Asker]

Ask them how often men have flirted with them, or put their picture on a photo evaluation website. People get away with mistreating/ignoring unattractive women a lot because no one wants to verbally acknowledge to the woman that she is unattractive. Think of every movie she has to suffer through when there are guys trying to get laid, or even in a chick flick, and she never looks anything like the chosen women. You're old enough to know of Janice Joplin. I think everyone agrees her life was difficult because even though she sang with soul, men still left her for other women, or didn't look at her at all if she was doing a duet with an attractive female singer.

[Avicenna]

So self-reporting on who flirts with them and having them rated by strangers? What about their dignity?
Do you want to impose this system for ugly men as well?

[Asker]

No. It's a patriarchal society. People love men regardless of attractiveness and age. It's not fair

[Asker]

Maybe women can be given the option to have their photos evaluated. Privileges shouldn't have to be forced into people.

[Avicenna]

LOL, ugly men are not loved. Are you living under a rock? Look at comments here on GAG and use your common sense.

Do you want to date or hire ugly men?

[Avicenna]

Women won’t want to put themselves through that humiliation if they are indeed unattractive. And I don’t blame them.

[Asker]

Yes I would date and hire them. You see ugly men with women all the time, but never the other way around.

[Asker]

I wish they were fine with the humiliation. Doors start opening for everyone the moment people stop walking on egg shells worrying about politically incorrect things to say. Fine. Choose your favorite popcorn next time you're on jury for a case of an ugly woman on trial. She probably committed the crime because she felt like an outcast to start with, but we'll just pretend we're unbiased and treating her as attractive, even though we're not.

[Avicenna]

It just so happens that I am relatively unconcerned about a woman's looks, and not at all concerned outside of a romantic context.

But do you actually date ugly men (which is something far different from saying you would).

Men date ugly women all the time. Sure, they have a harder time finding steady partners, but they still find them.

[Asker]

I've been attracted to ugly men, but they weren't attracted to me, so we didn't go out. Thanks though, your words bring me hope.

[Avicenna]

You're probably a lot more attractive than you think you are

[Asker]

Awwh 😍

[jshm2]

Positive discrimination is still discrimination, kiddo.

Get your head out your ass.

[FireFox001]

:DDDDDDDDDDDD Would you have laws to protect unattractive men?

[Asker]

No, because unlike women, men can do other things to increase their desirability. Attractiveness is all women have, even if they have brains or a sense of humor

[FireFox001]

Then you are just a chauvinist.

[LimitedBenefits101]

...

[Mia-Wallace]

GaG has gone crazy again. 😂😂😂

[Rockstarrrrr]

Unattractive lives matter

[AsaKyo]

Attractiveness is subjective

[maximumpower]

Really?
It's not like they're endangered...

[anylolone]

Why just unnatractive women?
lol!

[OddBeMe]

What’s happening to the uglies?

[Calenderagressive]

you could replace this with black person

[CallmeTheKnight]

This is ridiculous
