There's a post on Reddit on the TrueOffMyChest sub that says the body positive movement isn't for men. Of course all the pick mes and incels rush to shut down anyone that dares to tell OP to actually do something.
Men would rather complain about how "society" and " people" care more about women's problems than actually acknowledge that they have so much power and privilege to change the way society. I also know that when men say society and people they mean women. So we have to advocate for ourselves and also help men when so many of the issues stem from men? DO SOMETHING instead of complaining that people don't care about men's body positivity. Call out male friends when they have dick measuring contests.
Men need to help other men. It's not women's responsibility to help the gender who is murdering and assaulting us.
I think that was the post that really pushed me to get off Reddit for good. It’s a cesspool or misogyny and sexism and pick meism
I agree. They seem to think that simply declaring oneself a victim and having others nod along to your narrative is sufficient enough. I do not at all believe that "no one" cares about mens feelings or mental health. For every male that has harmed me, whether through malice or simply too self-absorbed to care about the harm they do, there were at minimum 2-3 people making excuses for him and telling me to sympathize with him. Men are enabled and coddled which never really helps in any meaningful way, as a result they'll never self reflect and fix their own issues.
Men can have a body positive movement that's for them, after they've endured centuries of body shaming.
Find me one woman who never even try to work on her looks at all. Wouldn't be easy to find.
Yet men who never even try to work on their looks are everywhere. Clearly men haven't been body shamed nearly enough yet. Needs more shaming still. 🤣
Umm men do have a body positive movement, it’s all the women proclaiming to love dad bods and uwu boys with soft tummies. Try calling a guy short or talk about his hairline, and dozens will come out of the woodwork to defend him. Inchresting how men never do this for women though
