But unattractive men are also treated worse than attractive men. They make less money, end up in worse jobs, have higher mortality, etc. So you are conflating sexism with a general "beauty is better" bias in everyone. By continuing to promote this conflation, you are in effect contributing to a more toxic environment for intelligent discussion about gender, and wrongly impugning many good men.
"Beauty is as much an issue for men as for women. While extensive research shows that women’s looks have bigger impacts in the market for mates, another large group of studies demonstrates that men’s looks have bigger impacts on the job."
"Most of us, regardless of our professed attitudes, prefer as customers to buy from better-looking salespeople, as jurors to listen to better-looking attorneys, as voters to be led by better-looking politicians, as students to learn from better-looking professors."
Now, I don't know why there is such... multidimensional asymmetry between the genders. But not acknowledging it/accepting it, and instead solely blaming men for the effects of it, is simply wrong.
If you want to blame men for whatever their natural inclinations are towards attractive women, then you should also blame women who find the #1 most threatening thing about another woman to be their beauty (see articles above).
