The body shaming movement is too female focused. Stop shaming penis size.

Don’t get me wrong, I (21/f) support women loving their bodies and accepting flaws. But what about the men? Where is all this support for men that don’t fit the stereotypes of what a “real man” looks like? So many women I know support body positivity but will make fun of a man for his penis size openly and It makes my blood boil. The hypocrisy is so upsetting. Men are humans too, with emotions and insecurities and we should be validating their natural bodies as well.

Edit: essentially don’t be an ass about people’s bodies? Feel like it’s not that hard y’all.

Edit 2: if you haven’t encountered this in your friend groups, thats good! Keep in mind I am in my early 20s and as such, have many friends around the same age and have repeatedly witnessed a lot of crude and hurtful comments directed at previous sexual partners. I would hope that matured adults no longer talk like this. I really want the basis of body shaming to be addressed though and this idea that some bodies are less than others, especially regarding something so private.

Edit 3: I didn’t think this would blow up, thank you guys! I want to point out again that this isn’t just about genitals. Yes it’s in the title but body shaming can be attributed to height, acne, baldness (that’s to whoever brought this to my attention), body hair, etc. We have to learn to love ourselves and be unbothered but the basis of these societal expectations make it difficult for younger people to gain confidence and could struggle more than necessary into adulthood.
