[Indirectly via BFD] Posted on March 19, 2006 in Fat and Men. 4 comments. The Ideal and The Damage Sandy sent in this great short piece by Mohey Mowafy on how the thin - and now for men, muscular - ideal is hurting us. roland joffé In particular, Abercrombie & Fitch is called out for their craptacular, body-damaging campaigns roland joffé and tactics. But it also courageously points out that fat acceptance and body acceptance is roland joffé just as important for men as it is for women: Men now struggle with an amazing increase in the media of near-naked exposure of skin, muscle and pubic hair. Male models flaunt their sexuality and sensuality even on the cover of "health-oriented" magazines, just as female models do. Both men and women now seem to have become objectified by the same unrealistic cultural ideal. Now we all risk calculating our self worth according to the sum total of our variously valued body parts.
