French incels are in a unique position to help the movement against lookism, given that their country actually has lookism legislation. France and Belgium are the only two countries that have this type of legislation on a federal level afaik, although several US municipalities also have it.
Statistics have shown that lookism legislation is hardly ever used in France. uncle tom incels will say that this is because lookism legislation is futile. I couldn't disagree more and I would also add that this is strongly related to France's "we was romans" machoism. More specifically, ugly women frequently use lookism as leverage for sexual harassment complaints, and this occurs even in the US where lookism is not specifically protected by law. By contrast, for men, sexual harassment law is only going to protect against explicit lookism and even then is rarely used for workplace complaints because it is more likely to be career suicide in environments where HR is always run by women. For what it's worth, I did manage to get a good looking popular bully fired for lookism in USA, but it took away any opportunity for advancement I might've had at that job (catch 22 tho since opportunity for advancement is limited if you're ugly and not in STEM). It also took many hours of effort. I'm not saying this to brag so much as to say that resistance is not futile. The USA also has a unique cultural position in regard to lookism, insofar as it is one of the few countries where people are forced to recognize the violent capacity of incels due to the 2nd Amendment (i.e. in countries like Canada, incels are more seen as harmless vermin since they took away gun rights after Lepine).
I don't know enough about French culture to say how this can best be exploited, but any insight from French incels would be greatly appreciated. In certain states in the US you can record people at work without their consent; this might get you some flack under employee contracts even if you're doing it to engage in a protected activity like reporting discrimination, but legally it is permissible. Cameras can also be leveraged obviously, especially if they have audio. Nonetheless, even when there isn't audio, the camera still serves as great leverage for getting bullies to contradict their narratives.
