“An average looking white man still holds more social capital than a stunning white woman, for example.”
With who? Certainly not with other white men or any men, most of whom will bend over backwards to accomodate a stunning white woman. Does the average looking caucasian dude hold more social capital with women than one of their own who happens to be gorgeous? I thought the sisters weren’t putting up with that patriarchy shit anymore, and good for them. Social capital is useless unless you can spend it, and most average looking white men have a piggy bank where a few coins are jingling around. A stunning white woman is sitting on Ft. Knox.
