And, arguably, maybe not to nearly the same extremes, nor with the same amount of systemic regularity, but there's a good amount of objectification of the male form as well. Much of the reason I started lifting weights heavily in college and beyond was because I consumed toxic images of what popular culture broadcasted as the perfect male form. To the point that I developed a body dysmorphia that persists to this day. I'm Gen X, so that was then, but these concepts, even for men, have only worsened as we've progressed/regressed. But, yes, your point isn't missed, this has been something women have suffered through on so many levels for generations before it started becoming the norm for men as well.

Very true
I actually developed a eating disorder that still persist today, so I have some small level of knowledge about what you are going through and I hope someday your troubles will be relieved.
Looking at people like Scarlett Johansson and the things that they have done and stood for gives me hope that soon things will change for both genders respectively.
