Another finding on looks and women

"We found that women, even within a normal BMI range, suffered greater weight-based bias compared to men who were overtly overweight,” said Nickson.
Nickson adds that the findings raise a number of practical implications, both ethically and from a business point of view.
“Ethically, the results of the study are deeply-unsettling from the viewpoint of gender inequality in the workplace, highlighting the unrealistic challenges women face against societal expectations of how they should look,” he said."
