Re: why is body shaming of some groups okay but not others

Oh for the sake of Christ's bloodied corpse, why can't we just say that men and women both deal with negative societal expectations and images? The idea that Kevin James and Homer Simpson are positive role models is fucking absurd. But more to the point I don't understand why we need to insist that in all ways men never have anything bad. It's ridiculous. Of course culture imposes strange and unrealistic expectations on men as men. It imposes strange and unrealistic and harmful expectations on just about everyone. Why should men be any exception? Of course at the same time it's also true that women suffer far more from those images but denying that men have problems in no way helps prove that. It's fucking ridiculous. Jesus Christ. No you're right no men anywhere have gotten any idealized images of male behavior or physical for that are harmful from the media. For fuck's sake.

Oh I do apologize, sorry. Fwiw it didn't come from a place of... Certainly not from a place of consciously trying to be disrespectful towards religion. But I've been spending a lot of time lately reading about the medieval Christians and their use of religious oaths which are really fascinatingly intense and I just got caught up in that mindset. Sorry again for any unpleasantness.

Because the beaten and bloodied body of Christ actually is very important to my beliefs, and the beliefs of Christians in general, and represents a sacrifice of immmeasurable pain.

Also, it's one thing to constantly throw "Jesus" around (I ignore that even though I don't like it) because clearly it's just a curse word to some people, but you have to be thinking about it to some extent to use something so specific as a curse, and hopefully realizing that you're talking about something that's really gravely important to many people.

For the record, I'm not upset about it any more - anon apologized and all is good. Just trying to provide an explanation for your question. :)
