Patriarchal Beauty Standards (Even Though Women and Gay Men Run the Show)

Patriarchal Beauty Standards (Even Though Women and Gay Men Run the Show)

This mytake is referring to a article written by Return of King "When Will Women And Gay Men Apologize For All The Anorexic Fashion Models?"

Ever since 2nd wave feminism, there has been an attack on what men find sexually attractive. Because men preferred women who would make good partners (from a biological child-rearing standpoint) feminists set their sights on stating this was simply a social construct. Men don't actually like beautiful women, they were simply wired into believing they were beautiful by the patriarchy.

Except feminists ignore this simple point: the fashion market is largely run by women and gay men. The two groups that aren't attracted to women.

"Though many models have to shut up in the interest of keeping their careers (or avoiding a lawsuit), enough have come out to attack their former employers. And the overwhelming majority of the people these girls criticize, especially over things like their anorexia or other eating disorders, are gay men, straight women, or fashion companies run by gay men and/or straight women."

Feminists like to tell us that men are the ones behind the strings, the ones pushing the button and forcing women to change their bodies to their preferences. But that isn't the case, the truth is, the fashion industry is run by women, not men. If you showed any men the bony (not skinny but truly bones, downright anorexic) women depicted in the fashion industry most me wouldn't consider them attractive.

I remember in a AP psych. the teacher was confused when most men preferred women in movies or female singers/performers from female fashion models. The answer is simple, heterosexual men don't choose fashion models, at least in movies men have a choice with the women they enjoy because most movies depict male interest especially male dominated genres however the fashion industry doesn't simply because it doesn't show male interest but the interest of gay men and women. You can see this by the fact that the fashion models are SUING gay men and women if heterosexual men were the problem, the majority of lawsuits would be directed at them.


"The irony is that if women simply conformed to the preferences of men, they would be much healthier and much happier. Still, this is supremely unlikely to happen. Doing so would require SJWs to admit that straight men are actually right and force them to concede that the real misogyny when it comes to endangering female health and beauty is committed by the women and gay men of the fashion world."
