For some people, pretty privilege might not seem like a serious problem. However, it creates an unequal system where people are rewarded without ever earning it. In addition, many capable people can get passed over for job opportunities and face discrimination simply because they don’t fit popular beauty standards. Luckily, people can use some methods to resist the effects of pretty privilege.
