Male chubby bodies are really not that accepted, if you want to take it there. Not as much body shame as there is for women, but the idea that fat male bodies are accepted and fine is not really true.

Maybe in school or high school, but when they're adults? Men can get away with looking as schlubby as they want.

What do you mean by "get away with" here? Because that seems really unclear.

I mean that it's normalized and not looked at as an aberration worth staring at. They're still treated with basic respect and decency. We live in a world where the value of women is based on their looks, anon, men will never be on the receiving end of that kind of bullshit.

That's not really true, though. They're treated with *more* respect and decency and much less hostility, because we live in a fundamentally misogynistic society, as you rightly point out, but fatphobia is still a thing in general.

Here's the difference:

Men and women are both judged on their bodies.

Men are mainly judged on their bodies in areas where their looks are what is being assessed.

Women are judged by their looks and bodies for every aspect of their lives - their competence, intelligence, goodness, worthiness as a human being.
