To be perfectly honest, this almost sounds like an issue of lookism. The reason why I feel this is because there has been some research done on how attractive and average looking people are treated. Most likely, the more attractive person will get hired on a job, get promoted, and even have a higher salary than his or her average looking counterpart, who just so happens to have the same qualifications and motivation. So, to me a person who is considered "less attractive" has every right to get offended. Especially if they're just as smart and qualified. To me, this sounds like a woman who is less attractive is just being emotional when she sees blatant discrimination.
