I said: "women are judged for their look (sic), men aren't"?

Well I had a little look two comments above, and it would appear that I actually said:

"Well women are worthless unless they're conventionally attractive and men aren't."

Why would you put quotation marks around a quote you invented wholecloth when what I actual wrote is right above us?

"Worthwhile" =/= "Not judged"

A man may have other qualities that make him worthwhile, even if he isn't conventionally attractive - humor, kindness, wealth, intelligence, drive - and still be worthwhile. Any piece of media with the "ugly man gets hot girl" trope is proof of this. Women, on the other hand, must be attractive or else they are unworthy of being anything other than the butt of jokes. In no way does this mean that unattractive men aren't judged for being ugly at all. Of course they are.

Look, both reading a text and understanding it is a valuable and somewhat complex skill, and I don't blame you for latching on to the interpretation you prefer because it makes you angry - heck, that's pretty much the source of internet outrage culture - as opposed to the one that is obviously there, but your feelings don't change either actual words or the meaning of the text.

I have seen too many people -especially women - dismiss a man's arguments simply because they didn't like how he looked. (Too fat, neckbeard, 'wrong clothing choice' etc.). So even if you take the exact words you wrote, they still are incorrect. So you can stick your condescension where the sun doesn't shine.

Nah, still false equivalence. Virtually all media - and studies - attest to this. It matters far, far more for women.

Also, intentionally misquoting someone to make a point is poor form. Either you were entirely disingenuous or didn't understand it - either way, dense.
