In this modern world we live in, especially in the west, women no longer need men to provide or to protect them. They have their careers or welfare for provision and police/daddy government for protection. Men in their natural roles have become obsolete. With their newfound power and financial freedom women are now able to choose men based on what "turns them on". This means looks are now of paramount importance for men in attracting a desirable mate.
The sexual liberation of women through feminism and the modern service economy have created a sexual marketplace where the top 20 % of men in looks and overall attractiveness are monopolizing 80% of the women. This unequal distribution of sexual access is a destabilizing phenomenon for society and is a cause of many of the mass shootings in the U.S (eg, Elliot rogers), as involuntarily celibate men take out their frustrations on society by killing. Of course only a tiny percentage of men do something like this, while the vast majority live a life of quiet desperation.
In other words, if ur average or ugly in 2016 in the West ur fucked.
