In this podcast episode of the Goddess of Technology podcast, we're exploring the paradoxical world of Pretty Privilege versus the Bimbo Effect. We're learning how society often praises beauty while simultaneously punishing it with stereotypes that question attractive people's knowledge, skills, intelligence, kindness and integrity.We're uncovering how conventionally attractive individuals, especially women, tend to be more scrutinized, judged, underestimated, not being taken seriously and scapegoated—not despite their appearance, but because of it.Furthermore, we're diving into the origin and history of Pretty Privilege and the Bimbo Effect, the subtle ways they show up in your daily life and their professional consequences, especially for women in tech in leadership roles.Moreover, we're breaking down how you can manage these double standards, whether you're experiencing them yourself or witnessing others being impacted by them.Most importantly, this podcast episode offers 10 actionable and motivational strategies grounded in emotional intelligence, professional development and branding psychology to help you reclaim and own your narrative and support others in doing the same.Beautiful, I want to hear from you: Have you experienced the downsides of Pretty Privilege or the Bimbo Effect?
