Pretty privilege is a real thing. Pretty people get better, higher paying jobs than their “non-pretty” peers, this has been studied and proven over and over. So while some women may use their attractiveness for financial gain, and some just want to be recognized for their brains, the fact is, if you’re pretty you’re in a system that is going to give you privileges whether you want them or not.

Yes. And it is by and large a specifically female privilege, and as the article points out, a white female privilege.
