Blogpost on [insanely thin] male model Andrej Pejic describes how he creates unhealthy body image for women without mentioning men

People need to mind their own business. If fashion designers want to hire the super thin they should be able to without all the criticism. No one is forced to be a model. This guy has the right idea. Bricklayers need to accept hard labor. Models need to be very thin.

I agree with that this is a double standard.

it makes no sense to find a man to model as a woman. A thin man modeling as a woman may be a fantasy come true for a gay fashion designer

Like how it used to make no sense to find women in male jobs, I think this is jealosy because this guy is hotter than a lot of women, also stereotyping males.

It isn't mentioned because Andrej Pejic doesn't create a unhealthy body image for men. While talking about male body image issues is a legitimate topic, it is not relevant in this circumstance because there is no pressure for men to look like Andrej Pejic.

Anyway, fuck that article, mainly for the transphobia at the end.

First of all, it makes no sense to find a man to model as a woman. A thin man modeling as a woman may be a fantasy come true for a gay fashion designer but it is not a healthy trend. There is no shortage of pretty women and if you want a female model get a real woman with real feminine parts. It is better to encourage young women to put emphasis on feeling and looking healthy as opposed to weakening their bodies to get a modeling job competing with men.

Fuck off article, you don't need "real feminine parts" to look like a woman. There is no reason why a man can't model as a woman, if the designer thinks they're up to it then that's fair enough.

Actually, that whole article gives me a weird vibe. Why is it focusing on Andrej Pejic? Sure, he's unhealthy and is setting an unhealthy standard, but most models do that. I think the only reason they focus on him is because he's a man who looks like a woman.

Plus, why would he be a "fantasy come true for a gay fashion designer"? I don't understand that at all.
