Current Events > Why is fat acceptance a woman thing, but not a man thing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Plus sized men is a thing, and does get attention. Just not as much.

Men, in general, are socially accepted at different body sizes already. Women, comparatively, get a lot more shit for not being slim.

Dad bods are a meme. No woman actually likes them.

But what if fat guys want to be seen more than "funny best friend"? What if they want to be a leading man? Or see more fat men in video games that aren't jokes?

What are you on about? They are very frequently the leading man

In a comedy where they are the butt of jokes.

women overlook physical appearences way more than men do

This is not true. In what context?

There's a joke about how a man being short is actually worse to women than a man being fat.

This is not true. In what context?

in every context. im an ugly little goblin but the women im with overlook that and compliment me on features i dont even notice or look for in people

Healthy At Any Size.

its just how humans are biologically wired

Is this really a thing, I mean outside of fringes, which you'll find in anything really.

Point being, is it really a thing that is widespread, or just something blown out of proportion to get people outraged? Or distracted from real issues.

edit: don't get me wrong here, there is a fine line between bullying fat people, and encouraging an unhealthy life style. I've seen plenty of the former, not the latter. Outside of "outrage" spreaders.

Fat women can still be sexy and pretty.

A fat man is just fucking disgusting, period

I hope most people realize that being overweight makes any health issue exponentially worse and significantly decreases your life span, but sometimes I am not so sure.

Do you think ugly women arent with men who overlook their less than favorable features?

a lot of overweight women get treated like shit by their partners. if youre on a dating site and an overweight woman you will get the most disrespectful messages. its a constant struggle getring bare minimum respect as an overweight woman

I dont believe this to be true. At least, it specifically being bigger women. Dudes treat women in general pretty bad in a sizable amount of relationships. Its not specifically bigger women.

Same.

But again, is it even widespread? Or just part of the dramaqueen outrage brigade? Who like to blow everything out of proportion.

There is no push for more plus-sized men visibility in media.

Fat is culturally accepted for men, just be a comedian.
