To put it more succinctly, it's the lucky sperm (or egg) explanation.

Consider the gradations: Tom Brady is tall, handsome, makes millions playing a game, has a beautiful wife, huge mansion, etc, etc, etc. Am I jealous? No, but I understand (and I believe he does too) that he got very, very lucky being born with a core set of tools that allowed him to achieve what he has accomplished.

Here's an anecdotal story (told as a person who has visited on a number of occasions): If you travel to Paris, you may come away with the impression that everyone you see is trim, good looking, fashionable, etc. But that's not really the case - if you're touring the core, what you're being exposed to is the elite of French society. (Along with tourists with economic means.)

Let me explain a little further. The last time we were in Paris (2 years ago), the 4 big labor unions held a national strike for a day. A rally was being held at the large open space in front of Les Invalides. Because we were staying just a few blocks away, I wondered over to check out the scene after lunch.

And what did I see? Well, it certainly wasn't the stylish set; rather, it was the sort of lumpen one sees at any DNC rally. They had been bused in from the outer suburbs, and they looked more out of place in Paris than any caricature of the most out-of-shape American tourist.

To be honest, I was fascinated. And, I felt a little sorry for them. In reality, they have/had absolutely no shot in French society to gain any kind of economic independence. Their only opportunity is to band together to form some kind of voting block to basically extort a sliver of wealth from the producers.

We can all agree that US society is more fluid, but I would argue that it's more applicable for the guys. That is, if you get out there and hustle, you can make something for yourself. But women are so constrained by their appearances that it almost doesn't matter how much they apply themselves if they lack a baseline quality of attractiveness.

This is what we see when we see bitter, ugly hambeasts screaming about women's rights, issues, etc. They got comically screwed, and they're (rightfully) angry about it.
