Yeah, there are unrealistic body images for men.

No, it’s not the same.

For men, the unrealistic body image is the ideal.

For women, it’s the expectation.

so HEY it looks like a bunch of TERFs have gotten a hold of this post and it’s making its way around the “radfem/terf” blogs.

Just for the record, I’d love it if TERFs would keep their fucking exclusionary hands off my post but that ain’t my call.

And when I say “men” or “women,” I am including trans men and trans women in both of those terms.

Difference in how they’re approached normally that I’m so tired of…

Society: hey men, abs are wonderful but dad bods are neat too! Look at this show with an overweight guy and his bombshell wife! Also look at this guy in his fifties who is sexiest man alive!

Society: hey women, if your thighs touch and you have the slightest outward curve to your stomach you’re fat and need xyz diet pills. You’ll never find love. And are those wrinkles??? You’re 30?? Too old.

Let people have their bodies and stop pushing photoshopped unrealistic versions of both in our faces.

Everyone: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND ENOUGH. Society is fucked so don’t listen to it.
