Body privilege

Body privilege or pretty privilege is a concept used to examine the economic, social, and political advantages or benefits that are made to both men and women solely based on their physical appearance. In Western societies, the "ideal" body type for men is often characterized by being tall and muscular, while for women, it tends to emphasize thinness and conventional notions of beauty.
