I'd seen it brought up elsewhere the question of why it is acceptable to mock men for being unattractive or short but unacceptable to insult women's looks. One person responded:

"Because women judge men in a way that is well-rounded. Appearance, personality, sense of humor, hobbies, ability to provide, etc. So a woman being critical of a man's appearance doesn't really matter because that is only ONE small part of how women evaluate men.

Men, meanwhile, don't judge women in a well-rounded way. Other qualities matter a little, but the overwhelming thing men look for is appearance. So when a man criticizes a woman's appearance, he is essentially saying that she is worthless.

A woman making fun of a man's looks is poking fun at ONE aspect of him, so it can be funny.

A man making fun of a woman's looks is never funny because it basically implies that she is worthless.

This is also why there's this big push to call lots of unattractive women "beautiful" nowadays. What people really mean when they call ugly women "beautiful" is "you aren't worthless."

In order for a woman's criticism of a man to have the same weight as a man's criticism of a woman's looks, she'd have to make fun of his looks, his personality, his sense of humor, his job, his penis, everything."

I hadn't thought much of this, but wanted to see the peanut gallery's opinions on this.
