Lookism is the final -ism that lacks a social justice movement. Incels and disfigured people are the closest thing to the "underclass" of physical attractiveness. Yes, many time the distinction in the margins between toxic and desirable masculinity is partially based on the attractiveness of the person in question. For what it's worth - men and women are equally bad in regards to lookism. I think we need to simply start explicitly saying that we shouldn't discriminate because someone is ugly. If RMS were as attractive as Micheal foucault, he wouldn't get in trouble for those age of consent beliefs (foucault, an attractive leftist, famously defended lowering the age of consent) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_petition_against_age_of_consent_laws https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_petition_against_age_... No one wants to cancel foucault because him and other french post modernists are the intellectual foundation for today's "wokeism" A lot of the double standard is due to RMS being fat and ugly. No other explanation.

  I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me why this comment was downvoted. It takes a stance based on the parent comment and gives an example where they believe looks had considerable differences in the behavior of society towards somebody. The example is not perhaps the best, but the fact that society actually shows favouritism towards attractive people should not be controversial.

  Btw - this comment is especially funny now because TODAY an article came out claiming that Foucault was actually a pedophile. https://www.ruetir.com/2021/03/29/writer-says-philosopher-michel-foucault-abused-children-in-tunisia/ https://www.ruetir.com/2021/03/29/writer-says-philosopher-mi...
