D.A.F.C Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Ok so I've made a bit of an arse of it but as a wider topic why is it ok for men to be held to almost impossible standards but women are encouraged to be different sizes and still beautiful?Acceptable, rightly or wrongly, attractive shape for women simply involves a healthy diet and using products or items of clothing to disguise flaws. If men dye hair or take care of themselves they are labelled effeminate or conceited. If they're not ripped or look like a superhero its not an ideal body shape. Recently a poster on here felt terrible after being body shamed by other guys. My long rambling point is basically that guys are held to a much higher standard than women and are also shamed much more often and possibly this explains the higher suicide rates.Can you imagine women shouting abuse at another women in the street about a body shape?Nope doesnt happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you having a laugh? Do you not see the papers, celebrity culture, magazines, social media etc putting pressure on women re body shape? You are on absolute lunatic territory here if you think men are under more pressure re physical appearance than women. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the things you mention show men in the same light.I suppose when you look at sky sports news or news broadcasts you see blatant body sexism that makes certain body types acceptable for women vs men but its definitely getting to be an issue for men but its dismissed by some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 This is a fantastic example of where some things that are put forward as "my opinion and I am entitled to it" need to be met with "your opinion is clearly wrong". One of the worst arguements I have ever witnessed on P&B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite high, given how many stabbings there have been in London in the last couple of years. And that stabby man was at a meeting right next to the bridge.

pandarilla Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I've just caught up with this thread this evening...[emoji15]There's no doubt that over the last 10-15 years young men have become embroiled in the body image nonsense that women have had to deal with since (checks watch) the beginning of time. And the increased suicide thing is definitely something that requires some serious action. But....Jesus f**k dafc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you fake an attack on one of the busiest bridges in London? Just close it off to the tourists and the public generally without anyone noticing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 DAFC was wrong on this but the reaction to what he said was poor. I am not the type to go hounding people on here, as I hope you know, but that was a terrible post. Hopefully he reflects on it and comes on with a retraction at some point today, we can all make utter clusterfucks of posts at times, just be self aware enough to realise it and hold your hands up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
