> The real kicker here has and always been the chart which demonstrates that women rated 80% of men as being less than average attractive.

No, the real kicker is that these women (who rate 80% of men unattractive) have been screaming about "double standards in beauty" for decades.

I don't really see what the big deal is. What does it matter what scale women and men use to determine beauty? I've gotten used to the average movie getting a 60% and the average video game having about a 70% rating.

In practice there's plenty of evidence Men even now put a higher premium on beauty (preference for youth, indifference to things like income/education) even if their rating scale is less deflated. The way I see it is that women think men are fuck ugly but date them anyways.

Men are expected to find a 300-lb woman beautiful. Anything else is misogynistic.

Men are also expected to accept that they're a gonk for being 5'9" instead of 6'2". Anything else is entitlement to sex from women.
