Take a field where people are in competition with one another and where people's physique are one of the main things they get judged on and is it really a surprise that empowering other people isn't a priority to the members of that community?

Baum went on to call Sweeney and Glen Powell's smash-hit rom-com Anyone But You an "unwatchable movie," before revealing that she asked her students to "explain" the actress to her. "I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ Nobody had an answer,” she said,

Yeah, seems like she had cause to say "maybe we don't have to hate each other for having success"...

I honestly ignored that Sweeney is a perfectly good looking woman because the whole premise is stupid.

The whole point of acting is to be whatever character. If people like one character enough, it doesn't matter how "good" your acting is. All that matters is that people connected to that character.

But also women bashing women for how attractive they are is definitely shit.

There are many feminists who like blaming men for stuff. Men sexualise women, only see them as objects, don't respect them, and so on. But when you look at women's magazines, many articles written by women themselves, they tear each other down the entire time. "Look at what she wore to the gala! How ugly!", "Big faux pas by FAMOUS ACTRESS!", "FAMOUS ACTRESS really shouldn't go outside looking like this", and so on. And other women absolutely love. It's all some can gossip about. And somehow that get turns around to "the patriarchy" and in turn "men are to blame".

“The patriarchy” is not code for men, just fyi. Women policing other women’s clothing and appearance fits into the patriarchy, because it’s a reinforcement that women’s only value is based on their sex appeal.
