It's not okay to mock fat women but somehow it's socially acceptable to make fun of bald men?

Bald men are discriminated against for jobs and are often joked about but it's not like they can control their genetics. Fat people can actually lose the weight.

I have noticed a lot of men in their teens and 20s are balding these days and no one is standing up for them.

The bad guys in movies and media are almost always bald.

Sorry to join in on the necro-bumping, but this is something that fascinates me a bit. The idea of selective discrimination, not so much bald rights.

I’ve found that gender and race are equally confusing when looking for society’s logic. For example, a man that identifies as a woman is praised, but a white person who identifies as black is considered appropriating and attacked.

If a white man in a dress isn’t considered sexist, why is that same man wearing dark makeup considered racist?

What happens if a man identifies as a black woman? Any liberals care to enlighten with your mental gymnastics?

I recall correctly, there are some instances of so-called trans-racial people, this is one example.

I believe that the fact white people who try to claim black ancestry or wish to self-identify as black people get a backlash, it is because the existence of the "blackface" precedent. when white people painted their faces black or order to perform black characters and sometimes in order to mock them in an era when racism was more explicit and socially accepted.

In general, one could say that for some reason, there are factions of the modern politics and popular culture which are passive-aggressive towards white people in specific regards.
