The term "lookism" grew in popularity in the 1970s within the fat acceptance movement. It was used in The Washington Post Magazine in 1978, which asserted that the term was coined by fat people who created the word to refer to "discrimination based on looks."[6] The word appears in several major English language dictionaries.[7] There is some overlap between the terms fatphobia, teratophobia, cacophobia and lookism.[8][9]
In the 1990, the term "lookism" was used by Smith College[10] to warn incoming students of "lookism, a form of oppression, that involves putting too much stock in personal appearance."[11]
