Have you ever heard of the term “pretty privilege?” Do you ever wonder if the way that others interact with you could be based on your looks? Pretty privilege or “beauty bias” works on the principle that people who are deemed more attractive—based on accepted societal beauty standards— are treated differently than those who do not. In this week's episode, Kavita Patel (Bitter to Better) joins us to discuss the concept of pretty privilege/beauty bias. We take turns sharing our personal perspectives as well as times in our lives when we were treated differently by others because of societal beauty standards.
