With all the strong male characters in movies and the idols that women and girls put on a pedestal, how can you deny it?

Fact is in all the magazines i have the cms that are around i cannot recall seeing a half naked man...you know why? because you can sell products with women in cms for both genders while with men? well...that's a tricky thing, probably only movies.....so woman are more around, photoshopped to death and what not basicly giving a "beauty standart". Also there IS a fair percentage of males who suffer from eating dissorders just like females do.
In fact it is common, and it does happen. We are all humans. It's just not talked about as much as with females. And i think it's a bad idea not to, cuz certain things DO get into guys' minds too and affect them just as bad as girls. It should get more awarness so those who still keep silent would not feel like it's a weak thing they are giving into that and finally get help.
One thing that gets me is also how female celebs are ALWAYS being thrown in to mags for loosing weight gaining weight, now i never saw someone to do that with male celebs...hmm Maybe just with Kevin >_O
I dunnno i don't get society...
and we're off topic now -_-"
