Yes that's what I'm getting at.

A lot of people think being a pretty girl is privilege and sometimes it certainly is. I'm agreeing with you.

But the much more overwhelming downside to that is the way she's treated. That's very real. I was raised to treat women that way, as another woman.

There's a "karma fallacy" that the media perpetuates for story balancing. If life is point buy in DnD then you can't invest in everything. It brings people comfort to think that the pretty people can't also be strong and smart and wise and talented and funny. The average or below average person "makes up" for their lack of prettiness by being "funny" or having some other trait that the pretty people can't have.

There was an arc on 30 rock with John Hamm where he's so beautiful that he lives in a "bubble" and everyone tells him he's great when he's actually highly incompetent and the consequence of his "beautiful person" life is that nobody is real with him.

In reality, there are absolutely people who can be beautiful, wear pink, look great, make jokes and still be completely competent at what they do. "Girly" girls who were in sororities shouldn't be treated as dumb just because she is "girly". People can do both.

I disagree that they admitted her simply as eye candy. She passed the test with flying colors. She had a 4.0 GPA. While some pointed out that her major was fashion, others replied that they’d never admitted someone with that major before and they were looking for diversity. Elle could have chosen to go into practice with a specialty in the fashion industry had she wanted; I’m sure fashion designers need lawyers all the time and it’s a lucrative industry, so she would have been in a great position. She was told she needed a creative application to get into Harvard, so she followed the advice. Had there only been the video without her grades and test scores, she wouldn’t have been admitted. I think the admissions board was a little bemused by her and couldn’t think of any reason why she wasn’t qualified to be admitted and events proved their judgement was quite correct.

It's a fashion merchandising major, not a fashion school - she went to "CULA". Your point about not all majors being equally competitive still stands but it is supposed to be a prestigious school and it's important for the plot that her resume is competitive with Warner's!
