Let's also not forget ageism, heightism, voice-ism (positive affect of rich voices).

  And ableism and... There probably needs to be a general purpose word for this...

    I gather kyriarchy was coined to serve this purpose, but I don't think it's widely used.

      Fascism is the general term. Judging anyone by anything other than what is called for when doing the actual work is inherently superficial and therefore fascist (fascia, on the face). Fairly synergistic connection there regarding the popularity of a certain face-themed webpage. We can make up labels all day to make it fresh or more precise, but the logos/pathos/ethos of the term 'fascist' is sound in every instance of excluding or including someone based on anything but propensity. It is interesting that we can't acknowledge it, like we are all so wrapped up in finding our niche that when we do, anything that would jeopardize that is immediately regarded as false. Like, who would you be if you aren't actually as talented as you think you are? But I digress.
