Of course, plenty of discrimination for petty and superficial reasons still goes on in the world (see I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don’t tell ‘em you’re a geek). And society still feels like it’s OK to comment on women’s appearances to a greater degree than they comment on men’s looks.
