I would challenge the statement that half meter long nails and three liters of Botox and fillers in one face are far beyond the 'self fulfillment' and is rather a (very, very bad) marketing attempt.
If you decide to use your last money to stroke own ego and look like a porn star, that's on you.
Thanks for the "poor people shouldn't be allowed any luxuries" speech and proving my point.
Because clearly it's fine for the rich to do this, because they spend their money wisely, right? It's not a completely broken ass system that harms the poor for anything they buy to indulge themselves, right?
That's exactly not what I said but you do you
I don't think the point of their comment was "poor people shouldn't have luxuries". Stupid actions are stupid, regardless. But when a rich person buys a sports car it's just regular stupid, and when somebody spends their entire savings on a sports car and starves later, that's extra stupid, because priorities. Everybody is free to do whatever, but it's important to admit when we do something stupid.
Enjoy not having a job with your natural botox-free filler-free face and bitten-nails
So it's all about marketing your flesh bag to the highest bidder? Ah so ironic.
I mean, yeah? That's all job interviews are.
Even not considering the visuals - you're just marketing yourself as more valuable to the corpo than others vying for the same place, regardless of whether you're a man or woman.
But for women there's an extra barrier. Many men, especially on the older side literally do not believe a woman can actually be on-par with a man in your usual blue collar job, nevermind exceed one, they cannot be convinced as such no matter what.
These are the types of men to give you a lecture about how you're not given a voice, but then literally never let you get a word in. This behaviour is so deeply ingrained and internalised it's just not really changeable.
What you can do though is distract from whatever they think your value is by being "nice to look at". Their overall impression will be positive then when it comes to deciding these things at least.
This same strategy has a less commonly needed equivalent of men having a good shot at giving female interviewers a good impression by being charming and sociable.
Lookism is alive and well, always has been, probably always will be.
