Men whine about "unrealistic beauty standards" and there is a host of women saying they like Dad bods... I just see it as letting men off the hook... Men burn fat easier than women and are STILL fat...FFS.

It’s women doing for men (again) what men would never do for women

I’ve always hated the rise of women celebrating “dad bods.” I’ve never in my life heard a man talk about how much they love “mom bods.”

Or how 19 year old men will have forehead lines deeper than a canyon, but 40 year old women are mocked for any visible lines and are expected to drop hundreds every few months to freeze their foreheads lest thet be accused of letting themselves go.

Meanwhile, thousands of advertisements saying: "lose that mummy tummy", get rid of your FUPA, how to get your body back after baby!

Women can't live without being constantly picked apart no matter what we do.

I was JUST thinking about this disgusting term today.

What about being a sperm donor makes your body change into "dad body"?

Even if, god forbid, the scrote takes care of his offspring, does that mean he automatically HAS to eat unhealthy and stop exercising?

The audacity

The first “out” lesbian I ever knew was one of my high school friends. She and I drifted apart after high school, mostly just due to distance, but we later reconnected over social media. I was happy to learn that she was living what appeared to be a fulfilling life (in a long term relationship and always posting about how much she loved her GF, posting cute pics of her cats, posting adventure travel pics etc). She would often tag her pics with hashtags like #tomboy or #butch. She had cool spiked hair and lots of piercings. Just a unique looking person, very striking—in a good way.

Then during the pandemic she sort of went silent on social media for a few months. All of a sudden she posts a pic out of nowhere saying “Hey, my name is Carson, my pronouns are he/him.” She cut her hair into a stereotype male haircut and shortly after that got a mastectomy. I gotta say, she passes pretty well, but I found the whole thing kind of flooring. I had no idea she’d ever identified that way. I don’t know If she ever did until sitting around on the internet during the pandemic morphed her mind.

So anyway, long story short, the other day she (he?) posted some pics of herself shirtless hanging out on a dock at someone’s cottage. She had a caption about her dad bod. I guess she has a bit of a paunch? Nothing I would really normally notice but once she pointed it out, it occurred to me that she was just sitting there sort of proudly displaying the belly, leaned back and holding a beer. And I thought to myself how F-ed up is it that if a woman did that and said “rockin my mom bod” or whatever, people would find it cringey or embarrassing for her. When a dude does it, it’s just funny. It made me honestly feel so sad and wonder if stuff like this is the reason these women decide to just become “men.” So they can finally just be allowed to not have a flat stomach.

Why is this how it has to be??

Edit: to make slightly shorter

I'm always so baffled when I hear a woman trying to get other women to agree that dad bods are sexy or good looking. Like. no?? You are free to have your woke preference I guess (while exclusively thirsting for thin or fit men privately of course), but leave us out of it. It's so jarring to witness.

So fucking true! "Mom Bods" are only celebrated if they manage to get skinny again right after giving birth.

I once told a man who wanted to date me (read: to fuck me) that he wasn't among my preferences. He couldn't understand that I did not want him at all. I didn't even know him that well and he just began stalking me on social media and just demanding that I go out with him. I told him no multiple times and blocked him where I could. he took to a messaging app where I forgot to put my settings on private and began anew. I was really upset and he always asked: "but why won't you give me a chance". I told him I didn't like the way he looked and on top of that, his overall behaviour was repulsive. Naturally, I do not go around body shaming men. And that was not my intention but he asked why so I told him. I told him it was one of the reasons why I did not want to engage with him at all. And men do not expect to be body shamed by women - at all. They expect to be ACCEPTED THE WAY THEY ARE. The reaction was typical. Insults, 180 degrees from where he was initially, began belittling me and spouting the ugliest stuff. The thing is, he was fat and flabby. He was visibly out of shape- objectively speaking. He was not the prime example of an active outdoorsy male he claimed to be. It wasn't as if I insulted him. I just told him what I saw and mentioned it was not among my preferences. I learned the following: 1. women are expected to just say yes to whatever a man proposes 2. women are expected to accept men as they are, otherwise, they are labelled as superficial 3. women expressing any preference as to the men they're with is seen as a hate crime 4. women pointing out reality when it doesn't benefit the men are seen as harpies

Imo, women look much better with a little bit of weight on them when compared to some chubby or obese man. Not trying to sound mean, but soft, roundish men remind me of the Pillsbury doughboy..lol..but of course, it is women who get called fat asses if we gain so much as fifteen pounds. I've even heard men call pregnant women fat before! So stupid.. at least a mom has a good reason for gaining weight..they are just fat from being lazy!
