I think in this field, a man is just as open to the same pressures......if you don´t fit a certain profile you just won´t make it...a male example of this pop idol (uk´s) Rick Waller absolutely amazing voice but weighing in at 20 stone plus would never been allowed in our society to have the success of his slimmer, more attractive conterparts.
(funnily enough I am struggling to find any you tubes with and example of his voice!!!)
That´s not what I heard today on the BBC! Supposedly there was an overweight unattractive guy who won, without much debate about his looks vs talent, then he was acting out in various ways, without much ado about it... now has a successful career!

If I recall correctly the guy who won Britan´s Got Talent last year (or the year before?) was overweight with bad teeth and he received about the same reaction that Susan Boyle got when she walked on stage. Neither were taken seriously until they sang.

But Will Young´s gay so he picked up votes from both ´camps´! Not fair
(Interesting bit of TC/Pop Idol Trivia - Rick Waller went to the same school as my sons!)

Paul Potts and he had his teeth done straight after! But he got the same response as Susan Boyle to begin with. It is just unfortunate for her that she was hounded and gowded by journalists until she cracked.

But he did not announce he was gay until some time after the event. And he was a deserved winner..........
