@Baley I kind of agree. Men and women will get a lot of abuse in many varried ways. My issue is more with the fact that people focus on it being an exclusively female issue.

That said id argue the hate is more so on men than women lately (few years ago i may have said the opposite). I mean how many morbidly obese women are there both that are famous and even models or porn stars... now how many morbidly obese men can you say that about?

In dating and personal life id say the same, women have an easier time there.

That said who has it harder shouldnt be the focus. Ideally we wouldnt make the issue about sex at all if there werent such a strong bias on sex in the pu lic on this.

@freemo @Baley To be fair, I think some of this is natural. A woman will naturally find men who can defend them more attractive than men who can't. Women don't need to be in shape to fulfill a man's needs, and thus men have been into "thick" women for eons.

Something being natural doesn't make it right though.

@realcaseyrollins @Baley

First off there is nothing right or wrong about being overweight, nor is it right or wrong to be attracted or repulsed sexually due to someones weight. Just as it isnt wrong to prefer a particular skin tone or accent.

That said if we talk about whats natural, i mean yea there is a evolutionary explanation. Men were traditionally the hunter and gathererd where women were the child besrers and crafters. So it makes sense men had to be more physically capable where as a chubby woman had more reserve energy to care for a baby during food shortages.
