To further my last point, here's an example of what a female journalist could say about a chubby actor, but a male journalist would never say about an actress. You can call this whatever you want, but, in any case, it's just a fact. (BTW this female journalist is cruel and she is ugly on the inside and outside)

@Cult Icon What are your philosophical views on this ending?

It's like discussions on the internet. People don't discuss no more. They try to figure out in which "box" you belong (ideologically speaking) and then confirm or deny what you're trying to say based on your perceived ideological camp. Civil discourse is shrinking. It's sad, but maybe, one day, tiny flames of hope could bring back the fire.

Or people can listen to real valuable social scientists. But of course it requires effort.

Folks can deny it. They can believe in the (long gone) value of modern social sciences and their supposed quests for justice. Everybody has the right to be fooled. We're just mere humans.

That's why this type of things can happen

I understand why it's very difficult to be a real sociologist today. Sociology has been perverted. Sociologists used to a) observe facts b) look for tendencies, c) try to summarize them and d) then maybe try to find a cause. Now, sociologists a) already know the cause to everything before even working (it's called ideology), b) then deploy their ideology by inventing unobserved sociological tendencies and c) maybe sometimes look at facts, only if they confirm their ideologies. If they don't do that, hordes of people will attack them on the internet. You can call this phenomenon however you want (wokeness, cultural marxism, etc.), but it's there.

Who said there's a problem? I'm stating facts. The demands put on men are harder nowadays, it's a fact. Wokeness is the zeitgeist and Hollywood is its conveyor, it's a fact. My opinion or views on it don't matter. I know Marxism always wants to find secret meanings or villains... but it's not the subject. The subject is that society has changed. The deal is not the same as 30 years ago. The "Survival of the fittest" game is way harsher on men (not just in Hollywood). The demands on actresses were harder than men's 40 years ago. Now, it's the opposite.

Not everything has to have a secret meaning or goal. I'm just stating a fact. It's harder for men to get in shape for their roles. Read my posts, I've already said many things. If I write everything again (for it not to be read), I'm not sure to see the point

That looks good!

No, I'm just taking note of a fact. Is that so hard to understand without trying to put words in my mouth?

It's hard to discuss with you, sometimes.

No.

Yes, that doesn't change what I said. The demands on male actors make them suffer more. That's all I said and it's a fact. I know it's hard to admit that female actresses have it easier (I'm talking about present day), because of decades of feminist brainwashing that say women's lives is always harder (which is not true).

Being thin is way easier. So, male celebs/influencers have to suffer more (I'm talking about today, not 40 years ago). I know the rule that the woke world imposes is that all women are victims and all men are oppressors who have it way easier in life, but this is wrong. A pure factual lie.

Zac Efron had to take steroids. Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, Thomas Hardy, Chris Hemsworth, etc. All of this dudes have to do hours of gym per week, eat very precise quantities of everything, pay the roids, work their asses off, damage their health. That's suffering.

The first point of my first post about this was about the suffering to be muscular... So it is precisely the point. So, it is the main point I brought. You changed the subject.

Again, it's not about being attractive. It's about the suffering induced in the ways to get attractive for men (diet, resistance training, cardio and often steroids). Being thin is easier than being muscular.

I said Hollywood, influencers and celebs, friend. And again, it's way easier to be thin than to be muscular (that's the point a) of my answer which I'm sure you read )
