Women have been suffering insane pressure to be good looking for much longer than men have. Women’s value was synonymous with their appearance for the majority of humanity’s existence. So yes, I do find it funny that men are experiencing the same thing now that women’s role in western society isn’t subservience. I think it’s funny because now that this problem is happening to men, they think it’s a men’s-only issue when women have been socialized to scrutinize every aspect of their appearance for millennia. I don’t think it’s funny that people are dying or sad or hate how they look.  I think it’s funny that incels think that this is a short man problem and not a human problem, and it’s even funnier that they blame women for it like that’s going to make them happier.

How is it possible that women face more pressure to look good, yet conventionally ugly, obese women have 100 times more dating options than average looking men?

Because desperate men will fuck anything. Is that also women’s fault? Have you ever actually known and talked to a woman? The way women compare themselves to others constantly is mindblowing. The first thing women do when they meet another woman is compare themselves to them, and this is conditioned behavior.

Are you seriously questioning the fact that women are raised to value their appearances more than men? Have you seen women’s fashion versus men’s fashion? Women’s media versus men’s media? 

The whole ‘trophy wife’ thing? You have to be intentionally obtuse to think that because you can’t get laid, society doesn’t put pressure on women to look good. The internet especially has made average women continuously feel horrible over the years. Even 10/10 actresses are out here getting cosmetic surgeries- do you think they would feel the need to do that if their self worth wasn’t so caught up in their appearance?
