Phrases like thin privilege seem weird to me. and I noticed that leftist sre quicker to assume are sctionarcy skinny.

I whould have thought it have been the opposite? outside the west arent the poorest people skinny? not saying that weight determines you as privileged or not.

    Muscular men get over emphasized bc of toxic masculinity/patriarchy for exactly the same reason skinny women are: it’s to appeal to straight men.

    Muscular men’s physiques are aspirational to straight men but they aren’t generally seen as more attractive by women and gay men in the way that skinny women are to het men.

    At least not in my experience, all of the women and gay men I’ve ever known are much more accepting and diverse in the body types they find attractive than hetmen are.

    It’s a very common refrain in het male circles that they got super muscular and experienced exactly 0 more interest from women but had a lot of dudes coming up like “woah nice pecs bro”

        edit: also

        its myth that feminime men are more attartive

        never heard of Kpop i guess lol

        My response to the reply since removed by mods in case you come back:

        It is generally true even outside of progressive spaces, I’m not talking from experience in those spaces, I don’t have any in my irl life

        Women do plenty to uphold patriarchy sure but that particular kind of attraction brainworm doesn’t really work on them bc the appeal isn’t for them actually it’s for men. If they’re upholding patriarchal body standards it’s typically policing each others body types from internalized misogyny

        This is observably true bc you don’t see women blowing up their chances with men bc they’re not muscular enough or saying shit like “I wont even look at a dude unless his biceps are bigger than his head!” Like you do with straight men.

        If I had a dollar from every person who ascribes to the idea that attraction is some written in stone thing based on some Adonis ideal (a very cishet male way of viewing attraction) being completely confused about a woman dating some guy with a body type outside of that i could push the communism button myself
