The details are different for men and women but both can experience similar problems. Really the dividing line here isn't between men and women; it's between privileged and disadvantaged.
I guess it's called "body shaming" now, and it's one of the only remaining socially acceptable prejudices. There may not be a solution, but harassing people for talking about how painful it can be isn't helpful.
- mxkopy 5y agoIt is sexism when those women specify that they are being mocked by men. Being mean is not a trait inherent to women or men as the prevailing attitude in these comments implies. >for talking about how painful it can be isn't helpful. Allowing a culture of men complaining about women to fester is not healthy for society.
