Do any of ya'll ever wonder why there is such a powerful body positivity movement for women, i.e. some fucking landwhale on the cover of sport's illustrated but nothing for men? When you look at the body positivity for men, it is almost non-existent. When I was a teenager, I had severe self esteem issues about my body as I am sure a lot of ya'll did and there was no one telling me I was beautiful. I was never told to love myself for who I was or told shit regarding my body. I can actually detail a lot more instances of people shaming me for my body more than they ever praised me. Yet no matter what a fucking foid does or how undisciplined she is, she constantly gets praise,attention and chased. If she does ever get insulted that is all she ever focuses on. Guys though, guys have that trait but with compliments. Since this is probably gonna get screenshotted and shared to some bullshit subreddit, In this instance compliments from Mom and Grandma don't count, as they really don't have much of an option when it comes to complimenting you(unless they are just a really shit parent). If someone makes fun of a guy's height, it's hilarious. If someone makes fun of a girl's weight. They are a monster. The reason men flock to communities like this is because they want that validation and sense of belonging they never had growing up and when they are adults, in a world that decided to that doesn't give a fuck about them. The people that a society abandons with excuses called progress, will only serve as baggage on it's journey to the future.
