lacigreen: becausekatelyncommandedit:radicalfeministuprising:miss representation (dir. jennifer siebel newsom) “Butbutbut men are shamed for their bodies too! Men face pressure to conform to ideal standards too!”People who say that are so incredibly irritating. They are incredibly, shamelessly ignorant, and proud of it!I think what people don’t realize is that though people may not consider men like Drew Carey, etc. attractive they are still famous, successful, and listened to. Being attractive is not a prerequisite for getting your foot in the door (in any situation) for men the way it is for women. So even though there is an idealized image of “man,” men are not really (in practice) held to that standard. Additionally, if a women is attractive she’s probably not being respected as a human being so it’s a lose-lose situation for women. ^ on point commentary, bolding mine -- source link
