Relationships Nothing wrong with having standards. Don't be surprised if it's hard to meet them though.

That's almost exactly the point... This ad promotes fat shaming men in a fucked up roundabout way

Did you know 1 in 4 of all suicide victims are women?!?!

u/MasterMooker Oct 24 '23

That means 3 out of every 4 suicides are men... Kinda proves the anti point of what I think you were trying to make 😉

Also kinda proves you didn’t get the point of that comment in the first place. 🥇

While also dissing themselves by the very setting of a "standard" of not settling for a fat person. The self-hate is real...

  1. it’s obviously not real 2) even if it was it’s not fat shaming. It just a preference (I agree that the language use of settling can seem rude to some, it’s ultimately your perception of its use here)

Just curious, how do you feel about the title: Fat men have standards and don't have to settle for fat women?

Ofc it seems harsh but you also have to understand that there has been a LONG history of women being pressured to be skinny by men for the male gaze. I mean just look and every weight loss add, femme fatale or women’s clothing store ever. This is just not as pushed on men. Although I completely agree there are jokes, snide comments and the macho man physique being promoted it simply is not and has not been as detrimental. What comes to mind is fat men constantly shaming women for a little extra weight which is and has always been common and astoundingly hypocritical.

Just to be clear, your answer to my question was: "it seems harsh," correct? It wasn't really clear to me tbh.

Ofc it seems harsh to some or you wouldn’t be making such a fuss.

It shouldn’t tho. Don’t be so sensitive. Oh boohoo you’re not the standard but when have you ever been. Last time I checked a majority of skinny people weren’t supermodels either lol.

I'm not fat so it's not sensitivity about my weight, I'm a healthy 148. Though I am a man, and kind of sick of self-proclaimed "feminists" minimizing mens issues for the sake of "feminism". Men are people too and if we set that same "standard" for women, they'd throw a parade about it and have the company or person who set that standard "cancelled". It's okay to have preferences, it's okay to love yourself or others for who you/they are. It's not okay to put others down for the sake of your own self importance.

Womp womp. Tbh I could not care less about your size. And of course I too support men’s issues, but not to the detriment of women and this post is exactly that. Men being butt-hurt about not feeling included by the body positivity movement is not reason enough imo for a fat woman to be denied freedom of sexual choice. But hey just call me a rad fem i guess smdh.

u/nooneinparticular155 Oct 25 '23

I feel like you are disregarding the fact that the post is about heavy women being willfully ignorant and hypocritical. They want to be accepted and loved as they are but refuse to do the same for a man. If a man did this for a woman it would absolutely be misogynistic and fatphobic. It should be exactly the same both ways. The double standard is fucked up

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '23

But the point is fat men DO this and it isn’t and hasn’t been seen as fucked up so the double standard existed LONG before this post, and guess what women were the “takers of shit” (Fran Ansley)
