blog #2


I strongly disagree with the quote, "Men basically don’t live in a world in which their bodies are routinely scrutinized, criticized, and judged; whereas women and girls do. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t stereotypes that harm men; there are plenty of stereotypes that harm men, but they tend to be less personal, less related to the body. Men, in general, don’t experience the emphasis on appearance that women can never escape.” because if you ever look at any ad with a man’s shirt off you won't see a skinny or even medium size bodies. A lot of the ads that I see with men in it are extremely toned and have abnormal bodies in the sense that many guys don't have that picture perfect body. By saying that men don’t have to have the emphasis on experience really doesn't have any backing because I personally know a lot of men that always want to have the perfect body you see in the magazines and in movies but are highly unlikely to achieve it.
