    But I kind of get it in a way. I have a family member who is overweight and I do worry about her health, but not her looks. Of course I keep it to myself though. I have another family member who is a male and he often goes on crash diets. He sometimes loses so much weight that I start to feel concerned for his health. I feel he looks best when he looks healthy.

    I know for me when I lose too much weight I don't look that great. I look a bit older, when the face loses some of it's plumpness it looks different.

    It could be the case that if the men who like the skinny women they show in magazines and movies were to see them in person they would be put off by them. In the images and on screen they are doctored up. They airbrush these peoples bodies to make them not look sickly. They edit the pictures as well. Most of what we see on tv and in pictures, is not reality.

    Very true.

    When I went to the Portland, OR Rose Festival they had four beauty queens make an appearance.

    I swear, there were much prettier and healthier women walking around on the grounds.

    They looked plastic.

But real men don't like women who are that skinny.

    It's sort of a ping-pong of expectations which I am sure that men also experience, but it would seem like women experience it on a broader range of issues. Another one might be the idea of a strong female boss; she's strong, experienced and intelligent, but also a shrew and a $#@!. Again, this is also women labeling other women.

    A girl can look nice and even sexy without dressing like a crackhore. The woman in the video wants to dress like a ho. She should just say so.

    I don't buy that. Overweight woman tell thin woman they are too skinny and skinny woman think that the overweight woman are too fat.
    I actually heard a woman yell across the parking lot as I was going in a bank "you need to put on some weight! You are too skinny!" to a woman. I actually knew the recipient of the insult and she is a yoga instructor and looks great. The woman that screamed the comment, was overweight by 30 lbs minimum.

    It reminds me of George Carlin's skit where he pretended he was driving down the road and he said did you ever notice that everyone going down the road faster than you is a jerk and everyone driving slower than you is an idiot?
    He then pretended to drive and would turn his head back a forth saying; idiot...jerk.... idiot...jerk...jerk...idiot...

    I think that what defines a "lady" isn't how she dresses, but how she acts.
    The same for men. You can act like an ass or a "gentleman" and it still doesn't matter how you are dressed.

    But there are also issues that don't apply to men as often or equally, (conservatives, gird your loins about I'm about to trigger you) like stud vs. $#@! when it comes to sex, or rape culture and victim shaming, or working moms...
    I'd argue that it's worse for men when it comes to so called rape culture, because when a guy gets raped or sexually assaulted, no one cares at all. Now this isn't comparable to rape, so don't misunderstand me, but recently a girl who lives in my building was drunk and caught me by surprise in an elevator and grinded up on me, but I ignored it and let it go because what's the $#@!ing point, it would be a mess and no one would take me seriously anyway.

    Oh, and as far as the stud vs $#@! culture goes, the reason why men who sleep around are considered studs and women are considered $#@!s is because it's a lot easier for the vast majority of women to get laid. I'm not saying it's right because it's not, but that's the reason why.

    Women set themselves up for attention and judgment, with all the makeup, high heels, padded bras, fake hair, skimpy outfits, etc. When a person puts that much effort into their exterior facade, people will notice.

    No guy ever got called a stud for scoring with a herd of fat unattractive bimbos.
