As in: if you're prettier, it feels awkward when an uglier friend points it out. "No no," you say, trying to put you both on the same playing field, to make them feel better. "No honey, my nose is big. Your hair is so lucious though."

I was just thinking about this on my line for coffee this morning (watching men respectfully interacting with a gorgeous employee). 30 Rock had a brilliant episode re: this called “The Bubble”. It’s definitely a thing and definitely a thing people don’t really talk about.

I would like fewer discussions about privilege, but if people insist on continuing to have them, how about height? Obvious. Indisputably measurable. Clearly impacts treatment received by others.

I was very close to a person who went from morbid obese to thin. Over weight is not necessary unactrative still fat people are often treated badly or even in a invisible way. My friend said that he never knew how bad he was treat while fat until he could experience thin privilege

I'd say there's also the important block that people don't want to conclude that beauty is a privilege like they say white skin is, because they don't wanna feel bad for preferring beautiful people and seeking their attention
