Episode: Best of FM: Philosopher Heather Widdows
Description: Lookism, or looks-based discrimination, doesnât get societyâs attention like sexism and racism, but philosopher Heather Widdows thinks it should. In one of our favorite interviews (originally aired in 2021, presented here with a new September 2023 intro), she explains the ethics of beauty and why beauty companies use moral language (âBe your best self!â) to sell products. This episode will make you rethink the way you talk about (and judge) other people's looksâand reconsider the way you respond when others comment on your appearance.Products mentioned in this episode:Â shopmy.us/collections/241376Episode recap with links:Â fatmascara.com/best-of...
