Especially eating disorders that are much more common in men, such as muscle dysmorphia or steroid abuse. Men who die from cardiac issues due to steroid abuse are treated, by both men and women, as vain and stupid, “putting appearance over health”. Women frequently add that they’re not attracted to overly muscular men, as if it’s about them. It just strikes me how different the reaction is to compared to women who die from anorexia: it’d be seen as egregious terrible for a man to say “women are so vain they’ll sacrifice their health to lose weight, and the idiots don’t realise most men aren’t even attracted to extremely thin women” in response to that, and rightly so, but that kind of attitude is common towards men

Of course, men can also suffer from anorexia, and when they do it’s generally taken less seriously than in women. Anecdotally, people don’t realise a man is struggling until much later than they’d notice the exact same behaviours in a woman, because the idea of a man being anorexic is not even in the realm of possibility to most people. Anorexic support communities often have a slight misandrist streak, as many of the female members have bad experiences with boyfriends etc, and if not are still very female-focused

Body image issues in women are seen as a result of society and the patriarchy, and something women should get help to overcome. Whereas in men they’re seen almost as a personality defect, vanity and “toxic masculinity”. Women often say they wouldn’t date a man who’s too into going to the gym because he probably suffers from toxic masculinity, but it’d be unacceptable for a man to say he wouldn’t date a woman who’s too into dieting because she probably suffers from toxic femininity
