The fact that men’s issues are largely (or entirely) ignored by the body positivity movement shows it’s mainly about overweight women wanting to be victims

The outrage over the Peloton ad is fat women being angry that another woman was healthy. And a man dared to enable her.

Grokeshi · 2019-12-07T12:49:52+00:00

Yeah dude everything is about women these days.

Feminists talk about body positivity then shit over Ron Jeremy for being an obscene pornstar. I have contempt for movement for that reason and for pushing fat pride which is only encouraging a massive health crisis and I say that as a fat man.

15K upvotes, 5 medals and removed for being a repost......

TiredRick · 2019-12-07T15:48:21+00:00

Removed by so-called "unpupular opinion" for being too unpopular.

Fat women think the media should exist for one reason and one reason only: to make them feel good about their bodies.

So the Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, the Guardian does exactly that. Every article is about how real women have curves, this plus-sized model is redefining "beauty", how it takes a REAL MAN to deal with a real woman etc etc etc. There's like ten headlines they reuse hundreds of times a year.

That why if fat women see any newspaper article, any TV program or any movie that ISN'T about how their fat body is great then they think it's sexist and totally unacceptable.

This is what leads to policing women's bodies.

If you see someone trying to police women's bodies, or control women's bodies, that is a woman.

Men never do that, because they don't care.

But women are in competition with all other women. So they very much DO care.

Fat women find slim women and healthy women totally unacceptable and try to stop them getting any kind of public attention. They tell them what to do with their bodies, they tell the media not to publish images of their healthy bodies, they call on people to NOT show support for the way they look.

Fat women are the only women who should be supported. That's why we need feminism.

Overweight women wanting attention.

I got banned on twox recently for calling out thin shaming. I dont know WHY I even commented. There was a comment about "real women" and I just could not take it. My comments were actually upvoted, but the woman I replied to was rabid and it devolved pretty quickly. She called me a bitch and yet I was the one banned. Banned for saying having a flat stomach is possible and you dont need cellulite to be a "real woman." Ridiculous.

Aaaaand it got removed, to the surprise of no one

SFWyup · 2019-12-07T16:14:47+00:00

You obviously don't follow the houseplant hobbyist group on Facebook. Nudes EVERYWHERE this week. Male and female- celebrated equally. I guess it all depends on what forums you expose yourself to.

Glad the responses to that are outraged, what a fucking joke

Ninja_Arena · 2019-12-07T19:58:33+00:00

Women 100 percent get judged more for body weight.

Men 100 percent get flat out ignored more.

SSFW3925 · 2019-12-07T16:15:58+00:00

Women that fail at life can always become feminist......

K-Dave · 2019-12-07T20:09:12+00:00

I tried to bring in a little bit of a personal touch into an online discussion lately. No empathy. The victim card isn't made for guys like me. I pulled it anyway just for the sake of fairness and it proved that there is none.

DaddyGroove · 2019-12-07T14:29:18+00:00

Unfuckable landwhales.

Lion_amongst_gods · 2019-12-07T18:39:35+00:00

Succinctly written!

I was just talking today with someone older. He was scared to say anything and said we need to be politically correct and I said what for? People must stop these glutonous urges and freaking consume resources unnecessarily. Fat people have mental and health issues and they need help to get out of that state for better for themselves and this world. But noooo they would rather want to be brainwashed and victimized and pay with their own health to corporations who are very happy to destroy your thoughtless lives. If you fat person want to participate in self destruction then please do it on your dime and not taxpayers and system. You can spend all that money on food but not healthcare or help yourself and be more healthy? Its not about religion, sins or whatever old stupid traditions. I get it, some have a gene or some other rare disease and cant help much but the rest? Ignorant ppl who have no self control and need motivation from others even if it has to be uncomfortable pressure aka shame. This clown world needs to be stopped and ppl need to speak up goddamn it LOL. These ppl hurt themselves, how is that normal!?

Take care of yourselves.

Thats it. I was never obese but had 23% body fat and cut it down to 18 and trying lower.

criolle · 2019-12-07T22:20:24+00:00

"Ignored" would be a massive improvement over "Shouted Down!"

marshroverred · 2019-12-08T03:46:36+00:00

Preach! Why do I have to feel like crap for not having 6 pk abs but fat women expect to be warshipped

Electroverted · 2019-12-08T07:04:40+00:00

HAES fat ladies don't find fat men attractive. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

Meyright2 · 2019-12-08T09:55:11+00:00

The fact that men's issues are largely igonored is [REMOVED]

ironic

perplexedm · 2019-12-08T12:42:17+00:00

This kind of disgusting garbage is why i hate every single one of these positivity movements no one actually wants to help anyone

The body positivity movement is the most fake thing ive ever seen everyone who supports it can go to fuck themselvs

StoicPrime · 2019-12-09T00:22:52+00:00

Body positivity they say...

Well I don't think it's very body positive for a woman to say she loves her body because she's glad she is not a twig OR when a woman says she loves her body because she's not a whale...

That is literally Body positivity according to women. Claiming to love their bodies to tear down other body types.

I can not imagine men doing this. Men aren't in this "body positivity" Campaigns for logical reasons.

eryant · 2019-12-07T17:59:56+00:00

Yeah, overweight women started that movement.

It’s not their job to fight our battles. They have their own to fight. It’s up to us to fight our battles.

That’s like blaming someone defending black women rights for not trying to get rights for Asian women.

Yeah we deserve to protect our rights, but so does everyone else.

pak-da-kid · 2019-12-07T23:11:52+00:00

Lol am I the only one that looks through the controversial comments

marshroverred · 2019-12-08T21:35:43+00:00

Yeah they don’t even give good head if at all!

_-OhioCouple-_ · 2019-12-07T20:29:42+00:00

I always forget what a circle jerk this sub is

_-OhioCouple-_ · 2019-12-07T17:02:53+00:00

Or maybe because in a lot of mainstream shows an overweight guy is with a fit and attractive woman? Maybe it’s because being a man and overweight is less stigmatized? Maybe? Or you’re right, fat men are under siege and the body positivity movement has left them behind because they only care about fat women who have life too easy.

azaleawhisperer · 2019-12-08T02:01:50+00:00

All people have rights. If you whiney men were standing up to the rights of all humans, say the Hmong, the differently abled, women, children, etc, you would make a better case for yourselves.
