please let me rephrase the title: CTV Montreal news will air a report on Male Anorexia tonight. It will hopefully bring attention to the male side of the disease as most people usually think anorexia only affects women.

Although Anorexia is pretty bad, I'm willing to bet that men using steroids (because of how they see themselves and their bodies) not only occurs more but can be more fatal. I'm not trying to bash on what the news are doing, but just trying to point out that we don't really hear about how men destroy their health (and there's quite a few ways) in order to attract women.

I've been working out and keeping up with the whole bodybuilding thing for, well about half of my life so far. And it's amazing how many guys who are in their late 20's and early 30's who look fit, die of things like heart attacks because they've been pumping roids.

I had anorexia when i was in college and one day i collapsed and was rushed to hospital all what happened is they told me to get better or they'll kick me out of college.

no one will care because it affects men.

They will be told to "man up" and that will be the end of it.

Okay , this is going to get me plenty of downvotes but it needs to be said : Do people not realize how rare anorexia actually is ?

Look , the main reason people know about this disease is because feminists found something that they figured only affected females so they blew it up into this supposed pandemic to gain more support. The usual false statistics , myths , and shoddy "research" went into convincing everybody that every girl in the world was suffering from the perception that they just had to be thin and the only way to address the crisis was to change our entire culture and society.

It's not that I don't have sympathy for people who suffer from anorexia , it's that the whole way society understands the issue is a steaming pile of lies and propaganda.

If they really wanted to make their point they should have explored the fact that men have unrealistic body images they want to attain as well. THAT'S not something that's unique to girls and women despite how the public has been browbeaten into believing men get congratulated for becoming fat slobs while women get told to hang themselves when they don't measure up. Neither is true but using anorexia as the rallying cry is just ... well , it's ridiculous. There are like ten people who genuinely suffer from the disease (yes , hyperbole but look it up for yourself. It's a tiny number)
