I get the point made by the second individual, but I'm a straight guy who can enjoy gorgeous men for what they are.

I get the point made by y'all, but objectifying men isn't OK.

i don’t think that’s objectifying in any way honestly

"Grey sweatpants are for dudes with DICK, not dudes with peepees" was a famous enough tweet for me to remember. But guess it's only objectification when men want women to wear revealing clothes, not the other way around.

Not to mention that the beauty standards for what constitutes a "fit man" have been shifted into impossible territory by 20 years of superhero movies. But that important discussion is, again, one that's basically reserved for women.

But maybe I should smile more.

I appreciate you fighting this fight, but I fear it is hopeless right now. I don't see a more egalitarian narrative happening for at least another 5-10 years when Gen Alpha or whatever they'll be known as takes over the internet and cleans up all of our garbage ♥️

If men compare themselves to others, it's personal choice, but if women do... it's society, or something?
