It seems we have no problem talking about the impact societal systems can have when it comes to marginalized groups like those living in poverty or those of a certain racial background. However, people are deathly afraid of even acknowledging the existence of problems that face unattractive men.

If you talk about the qualms of being a conventionally unattractive man, you'll be met with a tide of "Work on your personality", "Your looks are a non-factor", and "Stop making excuses for yourself."

Do people not want to admit a level of personal superficiality when it comes to relationships and looks? It's easy to critique large systems when you're not apart of them. You can challenge economic systems all you want because you, personally, are in no position to enact change. But when it comes to conversations about social systems, people on an individual level have all the power to execute change in their personal lives. Is this too big of an ask for the average person? Are people happy with actively participating in the social disadvantaging of unattractive men?
