Its the opposite of "bimbofication" (turning a girl into a brainless, sex-crazed bimbo) not sure whether it has a name of its own

Yeah, cause everybody knows a woman can only be one of two things: either sexy or smart, so she has to decide on one. Totally unimaginable she would stage herself different on her Instagram than in her job.
That's a sh!tty meme and the blueballed boy who did it deserves to die an incel.
While I agree with your general point and I get equally mad as you when someone assumes a good looking woman must always be a bimbo (while for some reason, the same dichotomy just doesn't apply to men apparently), there is an argument to be made that when you spend all your time taking care of your looks (working out, tanning, putting on makeup, dyeing hair, putting botox in your lips etc etc) then you logically have less time on education. I think that's what the meme is pointing out, rather than attractiveness it focuses on "fakeness". I'm not the author though so whether that was their intent or not is not my place to tell, I'm just guessing since the first frame looks fake and the last looks natural yet still good looking.
But yeah that assumption that a smart woman must be ugly and a pretty woman must be dumb needs to crawl into a bush and die.

If she had spent a large portion of her life styling herself, she wouldn't be a teacher now. So these women exist, same as men who concentrate way more on toning their body in the gym than their brains and minds.
I have to disagree and agree. Women and men both can have a career, go to the gym, take care of their appearance and care, and get an education. Not everyone can though. It takes time management and it helps if you have resources. But it’s about priorities. I’ve been working on my “winter body” for about a year and a half and need to go back- but balance at the gym has always been hard for me. When I used to work out “full time,” if you called after 9 I was asleep, after 5-6 I’d already eaten. I wouldn’t touch alchohol and no- we can’t get junk food together. Friday at 4? Sorry. I’ll be at the gym. 8 then? Nah. Gym. Sunday? Sorry. Errand and meal prep. Saturday? Maybe. That’s a rest day, or a conditioning day depending. A common schedule for fit career women I know is: 4-5am wake up and run/work out. Shpeer/hair/makeup. Work at 7 or 8. Snack break every 2 hours. Stretch and mini work out on lunch. Handle errands. Clock out- gym, dinner, shower, get ready for tomorrow, study, sleep 8/9.
You take weekend courses on a 1/3/5 or weeknight classes on a split routine. Some people manage to do it even with families which to me... some sort of super power or American Psyco trip but they manage. People fit online classes and other business and chores into their comity and free time between things or while eating, waiting, etc. my partner, I don’t fault her- she’s on her phone all through dinner because of there isn’t some work thing she’s watching a show or reading something 3-5 minutes at a time so that it takes her a week to finish one or two episodes of something. You don’t have a lot of time for video games or binge watching, for “hanging out” or “relaxing.” You have to be dedicated, prioritize things, and be very efficient with your time. Many professionals don’t prioritize appearance because of factors like how people are judged but also because they don’t feel a need as knowledge based workers are primarily judged on their abilities and not their looks- and looks can...
...(Especially for women) even hurt your image as a subject matter expert. But it depends on you. Some people go to school and do without by deferring gratification and having what they want or what makes people “cool” for years and years so they can become successful and enjoy life. Those people tend to prioritize health over appearances and experiencing life over committing to a life time dedicated to routines like those required to be “magazine perfect.” Some people go through all that work to be professionals because they are driven in life. They simply need to do and always improve in every way they see in front of them. So it’s a mixed bag, but you can have looks and brains and a career, it just makes it harder to do other things. To each their own though. We all go to work and put effort into life for something. What we get back tends to be proportional to what we put out. Most of us reach a point where we can’t or don’t want to give more and are happy enough as is. Some don’t.
