The Tale of Pretty Privilege and How It Influences Women
How familiar are we with the concept of Pretty Privilege? It's common to think that individuals considered conventionally attractive—whether male or female—have an easier life than those who don't meet societal beauty standards. This perception is supported by evidence that beautiful people often receive better grades, have favorable job interview outcomes, enjoy increased opportunities, and grow up with greater self-esteem and confidence, as they frequently receive compliments about their looks. However, the implications of pretty privilege extend beyond mere superficial advantages. Often, it stems from internal biases and societal perceptions. This article explores the complexities of pretty privilege and its connections to longstanding issues of sexism and patriarchy, as well as its ongoing discussions in today's social media landscape.

Disqualified and Disheartened: Vinesh Phogat and India's Olympic Reality
I checked once and then again and then again and then once again, but I still couldn't come to terms with the fact that Vinesh Phogat had been disqualified. Having been one of the few bright spots for India at the Olympics, when she qualified for the final after many Indian athletes endured painful heartbreaks at the event, she too was disqualified at the end for failing to maintain her weight during the weigh-in. India, a country with a population of more than 1 billion, is going to end another Olympics with less than 10 medals again. Leave aside the talk about the leaders in the Olympics like the USA, China, and France… even countries like Romania, Croatia, and Hong Kong with very small populations would consider their Olympic result a failure if they had the same medal count as India.
