men are fat, women are "plus-size"

Rad_Knight · 2025-02-06T11:54:03+00:00

The funny thing is that you would need to be fatter to be considered "plus-sized". It originally meant that you were so fat or tall that you needed to buy clothes at special stores.

Xsmoothie · 2025-02-06T13:02:26+00:00

Its all feminist propaganda.

AfghanistanIsTaliban · 2025-02-06T11:39:23+00:00

this post was somewhat inspired by George Carlin's piece on euphemisms and political doublespeak

also if you want to feel a little disappointed, listen to this Carlin piece on the "male disease". He claims that all the problems in the world are traced to men, specifically how men raise their sons. This is incredibly West-centric (in many other cultures such as Indian culture, the mother takes precedence even in parenting boys) and does not consider the abnormally high single parenthood rates in the West.

To show how masculinity/testosterone is a disease, he also spreads damaging misandrist tropes which were popularized by feminists. I don't feel like debunking his unsourced stuff right now but here's a heartwarming 2018 study which shows that first-time fathers have the same empathizing and motivational neural signals that first-time mothers have. There are papers showing that higher T men report less sympathy for infant crying which is interesting too, but testorsterone levels also increase in response to infant crying and they also have a role in sympathetic response in mothers. It's not the "poison" or "disease" they think it is

but if you point it out youre a toxic male and mysogynist apparently

DrewYetti · 2025-02-06T14:16:32+00:00

I notice that women, especially feminists enforce double standards that suits them at men’s expense while rejecting those that don’t.

TopBlacksmith6538 · 2025-02-06T18:01:41+00:00

Pretty much the Women-are-wonderful effect phenomenon, Reddit especially has a serious case of that.

Hotato86 · 2025-02-06T13:35:18+00:00

Will up vote this every time.

DryPower1466 · 2025-02-06T16:48:41+00:00

Yes this always pissed me off, you need to use these cozy words for women but fuck men’s feelings, “curvy” is even worse, like no you’re fat.

wackedoncrack · 2025-02-06T13:21:01+00:00

Accurate breakdown!

13donor · 2025-02-06T14:13:37+00:00

Or thick…lol

fanatic26 · 2025-02-06T14:31:51+00:00

Only other women call women plus size or 'curvy' when they are 300 lbs. Nobody in the real world calls them that....

Neat-Attempt-4333 · 2025-02-06T13:49:13+00:00

Good post. Yes thats something I see too. Summarized mens bad behaviour is always their own fault, while womens bad behaviour is societies fault and therefore mens fault. That means that a woman making money with pretending to have a close relationship to a man is good but a men who pretends to have a close relationship to get sex is bad.

SidewaysGiraffe · 2025-02-06T16:42:27+00:00

It also manifests in some ways that are just stupid: open a catalog, or go to the website of a store that sells clothes. Men have "underwear"; women have "intimate apparel", or "lingerie", or some other such euphemism.

Jojothereader · 2025-02-06T18:36:07+00:00

Yes I have been. Here is the reason why. We as men check each other. Woman do not get checked.

Expensive-Bid9426 · 2025-02-06T19:12:54+00:00

This is why despite being left I secretly hope they get what they asked for. You said that people like me didn't deserve love and the only people you would give any attention to were guys who were rich. For the same opinion you would call a poor guy a disgusting pig for you would think that a rich guy with the same opinion with this strong independent alpha male husband material.

So I don't know what all the complaining is about. You all got what you wanted now all the people who have total power and control over our lives are rich dudes who think they're entitled to harems. You specifically chose to only date guys who had personalities like Elon musk or Donald Trump because let's just be honest without being immoral like those people it is actually impossible to become rich unless you're musically talented. Now you got what you wanted. All of those "real men" are in power now and you can be a slave for one of their yacht parties because for the past 10 years you've basically been saying that being a sex object for a guy your grandpa's age on a boat with a bunch of other girls you don't know is somehow freedom but being in a loving relationship with a normal guy and being expected to not cheat on him is Sharia law.

Royal_IDunno · 2025-02-06T19:48:12+00:00

I hate the word plus sized, quit sugar coating things and just call it what it is aka obese or a lardass as I like to call them.

Edit: No pun intended when I used the word “sugar coating” in my previous sentence 😆!

West_Inspection_4977 · 2025-02-06T21:40:48+00:00

But you’re an incel if you were to say anything remotely close to this in a respectful debate in another sub such as twoX or purple pill, dating subs, etc. you’d get castrated on the spot.

Don’t get me started on the overused “incel” word. It has its place, don’t get me wrong but you’re a women hater incel if you say anything about gender disparity or men’s rights, etc.

PFfrankly · 2025-02-06T21:22:16+00:00

God help any man who has the temerity to judge a woman by her own standards!!! 🫣🤫😬😳🤓

Dry-Location9176 · 2025-02-06T22:07:33+00:00

Born-Bottle1190 · 2025-02-06T20:35:27+00:00

Yes, YEs, YES!

This 100%. But men aren’t the victims of anything!

L0RIR0 · 2025-02-07T05:04:14+00:00

Women are “petite” when they’re short, and make sure you read it with a French accent so it can sound even cuter. 😇

Local-Willingness784 · 2025-02-07T21:06:53+00:00

did the plus sized stuff do anything to make fat women seem more desirable? i assume their goal was to stop or at least make socially not acceptable to shame women for being fat but I don't really think men suddenly developed attraction for heavier women or anything like that, they still have more options than lots of men but I don't really think men going for chubby or straight up fat women really changed after the body positivity movement took off.

AkaiAshu · 2025-02-09T07:53:11+00:00

I mean none of what you said anything outside of internet conversation. A lot of men are part of erotica fiction, a lot of people call women fat, a lot of women want to join combat roles but many in the current conservative side of the debate are against it (Mike Pence was). Like all of this just sounds like a crybaby complaining that they were not congratulated for living their everyday life or some shit.

potatoloveer___ · 2025-02-09T11:29:38+00:00

I'm sorry you think that but I'm sure that not all women r like that ☹️ some people just really don't care for gender equality it's sad

Wide_Western_6381 · 2025-02-09T12:10:04+00:00

This fat acceptance (for women only) has consequences. 20 years ago obesity was about equal in my country, now it pretty much seems to be a women's issue, which of course is misogynistic to point out..

Sadist_666_Chicago · 2025-02-09T23:36:10+00:00

yes, women do fat shame men. but men also fat shame men. think back to high school and all the grief the fat kid got from other boys, especially in physical education. I would say most of the pressure for men to lose weight comes from the locker room and advertisements for Male supplements, male exercise equipment, exercise magazines, and gyms, where some guy with a gym bod tells you that the pill or powder they are Hawking will make you look like Chris Hemsworth. unlikely.

anyway, nobody should be fat. it's unhealthy. the average American has gained 20 lb in the last 40 years because they spend too much time on their ass , not enough time doing physical activity, and the availability of huge portions has gone through the roof.

Former_Range_1730 · 2025-02-06T15:16:38+00:00

In the non hetero world, sure. In the hetero world. If a woman is fat, she's fat.

Same with the rest of your list.

FingerTheCat · 2025-02-06T16:45:40+00:00

Allowing yourself to be defined by others will most certainly bring you anything but self respect and contentment. Think for yourself, question authority (even your own in your mind, even this comment).

You hear someone tell you that you are something you do not believe in? Push back for yourself, show the world who you are, do not try to defend yourself based on the words of someone else. Following labels people spout blindly will lead you off your own path. Why put someone else's words above your own?

Cautious-Pop3035 · 2025-02-08T18:14:36+00:00

Because we did the work to change the language. Men can do the same.

almostaarp · 2025-02-07T04:33:40+00:00

Baloney. This is a trash post. The first one is absolutely ludicrous and downright stupid. Do, “Big and Tall” stores ring a bell. Such a sad little troll post.

Front_Appointment347 · 2025-02-06T21:16:01+00:00

men call each other cucks not women 😭😭 half of these i have heard other men use far more

miranto · 2025-02-06T14:43:01+00:00

I think you're making too much of it. I mean if you're fat you're fat, you know? Like, it's good to have some incentive to shake off those unhealthy pounds around your waist. People calling you out is not a super bad thing, unless you play victim and get "depressed" and don't fix it.

I very much dislike unhealthy "body positivity" in all genders. We shouldn't want it. We shouldn't strive to be called "adorable chubby" when we actually have a problem that needs addressing.

Same with everything else, more or less.
