Women Fitness Magazine
Can’t feminists just shut up about women’s magazines. . .?
and body image issues?
Lot’s of men don’t look like the guys on the cover of Muscle And Fitness magazine. Many guys don’t have six pack abs. You don’t hear men making a federal case out of it and demanding that the men on those magazines be more like “real men” or “everyday people” and trying to get laws pass to censor good looking men. So why do women and feminists keep on about it?
The image on men’s magazines is just as unreachable for many man as the image on women’s magazines. Many men use unhealthy steroids to achieve that look, just as some women starve themselves. So what? Why cant the feminists accept that there are some woman who can and will do what is necessary to look like that and stop demanding censorship?
If there are men working to improve men’s image in magazines by forcing the magazine to lower its quality, the men at the heart of that are idiots.
Any question beginning with “Can’t feminists just shut up about…” can correctly be answered “no”.
[Edit: Wild Sage is a fantastic feminist! Start with a double standard (it's PC the way magazines "objectify" men's bodies but not women's) based on a narrow perspective and totally suspicious axiom (overly muscular men are healthy, overly skinny women are unhealthy), ignore the contrary (fat women are unhealthy, steroids AND over training are a health risk, look at Bruce Lee for example), finally totally miss the mark on the meaning of the question (it is about body image issues which is a psychological issue), throw in some "I know plenty of men who..." BS. There, a feminist argument.
How about this one Wild Sage: I know plenty of women who are slim and healthy and they accomplish this with regular excercise and a good diet and we should be encouraging more women to do this. Or, I know of a lot of former athletes who have admitted steroid use or worked out 10 hours a day and died because their hearts exploded or they got brain tumours and so we should discourage boys from trying to become Arnold Schwarzenegger.]
