Help?! Male body image hypocrisy?
Okay, nowadays accepting women of heavier sizes has become a notion of increasing popularity: the thicker set body type has become an acceptable norm where no more excercise is required.
However with men, chubbier male bodies are still not an acceptable norm. For instance on Tyra, she had a bunch of plus size women get into lingerie and strut it: could chubby men with pots, man boobs and love handles walk on stage in their boxers? Probably not because the male figure doesn’t take on fat very well.
Am I right in thinking MEN are in a more unfair position when it comes to body image and weight gain because a chubby man isn’t considered a perfect figure (where no more excercise is required) as opposed to a chubby womans?
Should fat just be considered fat, should the right body image only be the one you get after healthy diet and excercise? Why is it women have an acceptable excuse for being lazy but not men?
As women have a naturally higher fat body mass, and also because women are more worried about their weight, there are more justifications in society why they should look like this. Many women will have more fat because of their lifestyle as looking after children is not as active as what an average mans job may be, so in the eyes of society, its more acceptable that a woman who ’should’ be at home to have more fat than a man who ’should’ be out working and being active. Which isnt even true and your right, its so hypocritical and wrong as neither men or women SHOULD be fat, and there is no justification at all why its okay for women to be killing themselves and getting away with it
