See, I still can't completely verbalize this phenomenon, but it is DEF a phenomenon and needs to be further studied. Current literature we have on adjacent topics don't go completely in depth. It's most common in white dominated spaces https://twitter.com/ShrimpBrokkoli/status/1349087712800894976
This phenomenon is why white Hollywood did Megan fox SO dirty, and back then, yt women were NOWHERE to be found to support her. It's why the girl from them pitch perfect movies is put on a pedestal in contrast. Because she's AVERAGE and NOT THREATENING
Give Megan Fox a stem degree? Even worse. The research that says attractive women have easier lives aren't talking about her. They're talking about 6.5s-7.5s. "Cute" conventionally attractive women who aren't THREATENING
So when you have an attractive, intelligent, funny, engaging woman right in front of you, you don't prop her up. You don't help her. You allow your insecurities to fuel your drive to STIFLE her because you think it'll make you feel better. You'll consume her if she's on display
And that's why mfs love to steal dr Claudia Williams tweets and SELDOM have her back. We pretend we as a society love women who are beautiful, smart, highly educated, engaging, outspoken etc. We like the CONCEPT of these women.
When they're right in front of us, jealousy wins
