I would also like to point out the double standard. While this is a fine… I mean freaking fiiiiiine picture.
To the point the dumb shit was trying to make, there is a picture of Pierce Brosnan on a beach with a giant gut. Don’t see the dude posting that kind of shit.
It’s not this tweet, but I have seen people try shaming Brosnan over that.
There are unhealthy beauty standards set to both genders. They’re just geared differently. Women are suppose to be prizes and men are suppose to be warriors. Tate is the result of decades of masculine marketing and the exact thing the movie Fight Club warned about.
Look at what they did to Luke Skywalker toys over time.
And the real tell is that the warrior ideal combined with super broad chest and shoulders are meant to denote strength, but the strongest men tend to be thick through the middle and lack the bodybuilder v-taper they give these toys. Not that bodybuilders aren’t stronger than most people by far, but when you look at the people who hold records for lifting the most weight they’re nothing like those toys. It’s just as shallow and dumb as a lot of women’s beauty standards.
I think it’s even worse than the double standard. Saying that people shouldn’t get married because some decades later your spouse might not be hot is infuriating to me. You’re with someone for decades - if the only reason you’re with them is because they were smoking hot at 25, you’re immensely shallow and immature. People get old. Age happens.

Men are ALLOWED to be fat though. It’s just the masculine swagger.
To paraphrase family guy “there are no fat men, only fat women”

Seriously, who’s OOP? Leonardo DiCaprio?
