True Male Beauty!

As a masculinist, I am troubled by the inequality of the movement toward the acceptance of body shapes for women and the absence of same for men.

The Dove Real Beauty campaign, showcasing the beauty of women of varying body types in order to sell soap, made me feel as a man quite marginalized.

I have created this thread so that we men, too can be proud of our bodies no matter what sort of shape they are! Be they triangle, square, rectangle, or pumpkin, we should be PROUD of ourselves! And that's real beauty!

    Real beauty has very little to do with how you look, male or female.

    However, I couldn't give two hoots about the perceived inequality. The day when a man's worth is judged as much on the way he looks as a woman's is the day I will start caring.

    Before the fifth post it's already about women.

    So what?

    Don't fault the man... he knows how to appreciate the ladies...

    And guess what, that's usually sexier than what a man looks like anyway.

    So what?

    The day when the burgeoning genocide risk in Central African Republic is quelled is the day I will start caring about how women are valued based on their appearance. We can play this all day, but let's not, instead.

    While I agree with you to some degree, I don't think any body image of any type should necessarily be encouraged, but rather health and fitness should be instead. It doesn't matter if you are 8% bodyfat or 30% bodyfat if you are unhealthy and will have a lot of health problems and a shorter life because of it.

    btw, "masculinist" isn't a term. if you believe in men's equality, the term would still be "feminist" js.
    watch the movie "Tough Guise". It's a feminist documentary about men in the media and ridiculous standards they have to live up to. It's amazing.
