There is 'body positivity' and 'fat acceptance' for women, but what about men?

[Siri137]

YES! It's a BAD thing, and for more reasons than I can list here.

I couldn't help but notice the blatant double-standard. An example of hypocrisy at its worst? By the way, the image above is just one among many that I found online promoting this unhealthy, narcissistic, childish rubbish.

While women have been busy championing body positivity and fat acceptance, it's high time that men get in on the action too. And when it comes to body positivity for men, there's one body part that often gets overlooked: the chesticles. Yes, gentlemen, you heard me right - men have boobs too!
Now, I'm not talking about those washboard abs that you see on the cover of Men's Health magazine. I'm talking about those juicy, jiggly, man-melons that hang proudly from a man's chest. Some men have perky little pecks, others have saggy man-mams, and some have a nice, big set of moobs that would make even Dolly Parton jealous.
But no matter what kind of chesticles a man may have, they should be celebrated and embraced just like any other body part. Whether you're a fan of the perky pecs or the luscious man-melons, there's no shame in loving and accepting your chesticles just the way they are.
So let's raise a glass (or a boob-shaped mug, if you're feeling frisky) to body positivity for men, and celebrate all the curves and contours that make us unique. Because at the end of the day, whether you're a man or a woman, everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin - and that includes loving and accepting those magnificent chesticles! Now go forth, my breast-loving friend, and spread the word of chesticle acceptance far and wide!

Personally I'm not too against the idea besides the fact that it's promoting women to not be healthy but I don't agree that women should be mentally forced to believe that their weight is unlovable and that it makes them completely incompatible in the standards of beauty because that's just not true, promoting confidence is good but promoting the influence of them not having to care about their health isn't good so I guess there's pros and cons, I know we have all seen the unhealthy results of a woman being mentally brainwashed in believing beauty is just one body type, it makes them obsessive and can create eating disorders and can even push women to make rash decisions like doing unhealthy body modifications to their body and that all just completely ruins and corrupts minds, they should promote it in a way that a woman can remain confident about themselves but still motivate them to try and be or remain healthy.

I noticed I went completely off topic here whoops, same goes for men tho, if they ever decide too I promote stuff but tbh the world never really gave a crap about men lol

I don't think most men care.

i think men suffer much less backlash about their weight. they get backlash but much much less.

and I don't think we should accept obesity. body positivity should be about "that's what I got, nothing to do about it so shouldn't worry about it". being fat, if you got something to do about it, should not be included. it's unhealthy in 99% of cases and should not be encouraged.
I'm not saying we should shame fat people but we shouldn't make them feel it's great as is. just ignore it and not shame people who say "Yeah, I'm not into fat girls/men"

Yup, it's an annyoing double standard, at least in my corner of the world. While women are accepted and sometimes even encouraged to have extra weight, men are expected to get ripped for the beach body season.

Yeah it’s hypocritical and awful. But arguing about it never gets anywhere. If people want to shorten their lifespans, that’s on them. I’m not going to be shamed into endorsing gluttony though.

[Chthou95]

The double standard is there. But men dont need that shit. Men will get called a fat fuck and actually do something about it. Crying or getting emotional over that is for pussies. Men know how to hold other men accountable unlike women with other women

[Bklynbadboy12]

That's because women can be on the heavy side and still be very curvy and sexy. Men on the other hand don't look so good fat

[Anonymous]

I just lost someone as a result of obesity. Neither men nor women should be encouraged to be unhealthy.

[Anonymous]

You have a good point. Babes should give average guys a chance too!

[KostasKouvalis]

Hey yeah, that's a good point.

[Andres77]

We don’t care about public opinion.
