Society (that is, socially progressive society) can't quite make up its mind about whether beauty is a valuable currency that needs to be redistributed more evenly, or it's a harmful patriarchal concept altogether that needs to be rejected. The conundrum is quite clear. If you accept the former, it legitimizes the beauty hierarchy and causes in-fighting. If you accept the latter, you run into upsetting conclusions, like if attractive women really are an oppressed class, then that would mean hot white women are actually victims, and very few people can tolerate that idea.
