My privilege as a straight, white, cisgender, middle class thin male

[paulpablo]

They aren't, and you (and I) know we aren't - I've never been pressured by society to look like a fit 6 pack dude because I have a face others consider pretty, and a normal body, I was never forced to be overly fit or to wear make up or to shave my body hair, because I don't need it.

I never said we were pressured, I said we are bombarded by images of fit attractive men, at the cinema, on adverts, on everything. We are bombarded with bodies that will be impossible to achieve for a majority of people.
That's the bottom line, you said that we aren't but we are.

And your example is just your example, I know I've been with about 3 women who would tell me to shave my chest or alternatively pressure me to not shave my chest. Trends always change for men so one moment it's good to be hair the next it isn't, at least a woman has a predictable constant to aim for.
