I am not sure your thesis actually holds. Can you name any fat and ugly women with brilliant ideas that have been dismissed because of their looks?

And I think men are being judged based on looks, too.

don't scoff, this is the nicest of the gossip that I hear going around. Haven't you ever been in a group of good-old-boys (of any age) at a bar?

I haven't read much of valleywag now, but anyway - I guess it is a touchy subject. But I am pretty sure that women in a group will also comment on the attractiveness of their male colleagues. It doesn't imply that people can't work together.
