    It’s absolutely the tone. You’re not allowed to complain because we women have it worse. That’s the message that’s being sent across right now.

    Men do not experience body policing in even remotely similar ways to women.

    That is combative, dismissive, and by the way totally wrong. If the feminists in this thread actually gave a shit about men, they’d be listening, not lecturing. They came here to pick a fight.

      No, people in this thread were saying that men and women suffer the same from body image policing. Which isn’t true. Like I said in my initial comment, if that offends you then you don’t understand how misogyny works.

        people in this thread were saying that men and women suffer the same from body image policing.

        Show me the posts.

        And not “the same TYPE OF body image policing” because you’re insane if you don’t think that’s the case.

        Show me the posts where people say men face the same degree of body image policing

        And then explain why, even then, being combative and dismissive is in any way a good idea.

        Again, I think you came here to pick a fight, and that offends me because that’s how men’s issues are always silenced.

          You can read through the thread yourself, there was a massive comment chain already here when I made my initial comment. I’m not going to read and summarize it for you lol.

          I think I’ve already more than explained how women’s body image issues are attached to systemic institutional issues that exist across society in my other comments. Feel free to debate against any points I’ve made, but I’m not going to continue reiterating myself.

          I came here to respond to anti feminist takes in the thread and to provide a counter to them.
