From "49 States Legally Allow Employers to Discriminate Based on Weight" By Areva Martin:
"We already know that women are judged more harshly than men for their physical appearance. But overweight women face such criticism at even harsher levels — from both men and women.
A 2016 study found that male job interviewers judged overweight female candidates more harshly than overweight male candidates, while female job interviewers judged both female and male overweight candidates harshly. 'When it comes to ‘beauty,’ being an overweight woman is judged negatively by both sexes whereas men are a lot more forgiving towards each other,' Sonia Oreffice, a professor of the University of Surrey and the study’s lead author, said in a press release at the time. 'Body size matters for wages, not simply as proxy for beauty.'”
