It isn't just the fashion industry. Success in society is not dictated by merit any more, it's dictated by how many "oppression" boxes can be ticked while being passable.  Susan Boyle wins that music show, not because she could sing but because she was ugly and fat with a sob story. The Muslim lady who won another recent UK baking show won because she was Muslim and obviously overcame the crushing oppression of being stared at funny in the street for belonging to a violent religion.  Then you have clock boy who gets piles and piles of free shit and still fucks off to Qatar... for taking a clock apart and putting it in a box. However he was MUSLIM and therefore OPPRESSED according to feminist newspeak. We don't live in a meritocracy, we live in an oppressionocracy; the more the majority dislikes you -- often for legitimate reasons -- the more the feminist doctrine will support you to upset the "patriarchy".
