Pretty privilege

Common card · No. 242493

Pretty privilege is the tendency for people who are viewed as more attractive or "pretty" to receive more opportunities, benefits, attention, or other perks than their less attractive counterparts. The concept of pretty privilege does not have a founding figure but rather emerged through online feminist discourse about how women are expected to be attractive, especially relative to men. With the proliferation of large scale social media platforms that focus on physical attractiveness and greater discussion of social dynamics on platforms like TikTok, pretty privilege has become an increasingly common term. Pretty privilege can be seen in its effects on career trajectory, social acceptance, legal aid, and gender dynamics.
