At first one would assume that unattractive women benefit most, but that's probably untrue. Pretty women can and will retain most of the social benefits of their attractiveness; AND benefit greatly from social programs designed to "crush the patriarchy."

The case for hot women: SJ is about eliminating a lot of inequalities (race, gender, money, etc) but leaves attractiveness inequality untouched and hotness matters much more for women than men. Plus, stronger norms/punishments for sexual assault which hot women are victims of.

Attractive women, by far. Women in general, but attractive women, even fair-looking ones, are always hounded, harassed, and abused by good-for-nothing "edgy bois" who run a pretty high risk of turning out to be right wing dipshits.

A, I think SJ ideas put unattractive women solidly above unattractive men in social standing (not sure whether or not they would be without those ideas)

I feel like attractive men is the objectively correct answer to both in the same way they end up at the top of most hierarchies and because IQ correlates with attractiveness.

In The Coddling of the American Mind, Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff address this specific point. The answer is unintuitive.
Attractive men, viewed at the oppressors by social justice, have no choice but to face adversity and challenges that prepare them for the real world.

I keep getting stuck in the difference between SJ "policies" (affecting how the world treats you) and SJ "ideas" (affecting how you treat yourself).
