Bodyshaming men is widely accepted

Whenever a man expresses insecurity about his height, looks, dick size or whatever, he will be told that those things don't matter and he should basically just stop whining. Then people are perfectly happy to mock men with those exact same traits, when it's someone they dislike.

Feminists think men are too privileged to be affected by body shaming.

Soon some Feminists will say men are too privileged to be affected by racism (i.e. black men).

I'm not even exaggerating here.

Some feminists are already cool with homophobia towards gay men and bisexual men.

The body shaming drives me up the wall. Soo many women go straight for height, penis size or balding when a man does something she does not like. And you are supposed to take it. And if you speak up about how you feel bad hearing it all the time. Suddenly, you are the problem, because you are to sensitive. It is so ironic.

They also will do all kinds of weird argumentation to justify why them shaming men for their height or penis size is not body shaming or sexist or whatever. That justification from AOC about her height comments was so cringe I had to pause watching it, because I cringed so hard. I have a hard time taking her seriously after that thing.

Look at how much backlash Trump got for "Quiet piggy." Now look at how little backlash he got for all the times he mocked men for being short or fat or ugly. Look at AOC mocking Stephen Miller for his height while her feminist supporters cry about women being bodyshamed.

It's always height or dick size or both.

The left treats its own men worse than it treats conservative women.

Those who shame you for genetic characteristics will cry misogynist and fascist at the one who implies they should hit a treadmill

It's not even a thought people have, just baked into their common sense. Empathy is reserved for women and children.

People don't care about men. If you expect different you will be disappointed.

I love the hypocritical duality of seeing so many people preach body positivity, but will then go on to shame men about their height, physique, hairline, genitals, etc.

And you wonder why so many men are obsessing over their looks...

We have to be making tons of money, be charming, be funny, be fit, be tall, whatever... We have to be everything but vulnerable and weak.

It's exhausting, boys and girl.

imagine how gay men feel when they see left leaning women calling every misogynistic man “gay” or “dl” when that has 0 to do with how a man acts. i’ve met some gay men who mistreat women, like i’ve met straight men who don’t mistreat women. sexuality is not correlated to one’s beliefs!

Downtown_Bid_7353 · 2025-12-06T01:04:52+00:00

Its important for us to be a voice that is kind about why its wrong. Most people still dont understand what we’re fighting for. Body shaming is a male issue and we will have to be the ones to say that its not okay to objectify men

Motanul_Negru · 2025-12-04T19:28:36+00:00

Well, if they want the maximum amount of non-predatory men to disengage as much as possible, they're going about it the right way. Once I'm dead, what is it to me that the Trumps, Putins, Musks and Tates of the world will be the fathers of the next generations?

I hate to defend Andrew Tate but he was a victim at the hands of Greta Thunberg.

What you said about small dick energy really hits a nerve because I know someone whose whole life has been ruled by the fact that he does not feel that he is adequately endowed. So he has done all kinds of other stuff to be super manly and aggressive. Meanwhile, as a woman, I didn’t find anything lacking at all, except his self-confidence.

Nothing will be done about it until men stand up and say enough is enough. But unfortunately, men don't move like that because most men have this individualist, 'every man for himself' mentality.

Anxious_Doctor3574 · 2025-12-06T08:32:09+00:00

Fresh ahh replies. But low-key tho, y do I feel so embarrassed and wrong for even considering speaking loud about this?

slurpyspinalfluid · 2025-12-09T12:50:25+00:00

honestly this could be looked at as either misandry or misogyny. it can be looked at as misandry for the reasons you’ve outlined and it can also be looked at as misogyny because it has to do with how women are valued more for their appearance than men, thus insulting a man’s appearance isn’t as much of an insult to their personhood as insulting a woman’s appearance. i would probably classify it as a misandrist side effect of misogyny
