Misogyny/MRA is a sign of weakness

Vin Diesel is not a great actor--but he's constantly in a good physical shape and knows what he's talking about regarding this.

Okay, you are making a lot of assumptions about the MRM. While I don't identify as an MRA, I do find your analysis to be a gross misinterpretation of their core beliefs. The MRM are NOT against women's rights and they are not even entirely against feminism. The whole point of the movement is to address male issues, i.e male suicide rates, homelessness, violence against men (as men make up the majority of victims in this case), child custody laws, the erasure of male rape victims, male disposability (in many countries, men are required to do service in military, but not females), etc etc.

Now, I know that feminists claim that they are indirectly helping men by helping women, but clearly there are issues that aren't being addressed at all. Maybe instead of running yourself ragged trying to deal with everyone's problems, there should be a venue for men to speak on issues that affect them and feminists can focus on women's problems. I mean, why does there have to be a versus mentality about it? Why do both groups have to feel so violated by one anothers' very f*****g existence?

You both want the same thing - gender equality, and I don't really see that happening if you're going to just say that MRA's are neckbeard, MLP loving losers that can't get laid. Grow up.

Anybody else having difficulty accessing WP? I'm getting in about once every 10 minutes. Anyway, an addition to the last link I posted:

Wrt. your post, Kurgan: Yes, the first three photos do show anorexia. However, 'just don't eat more than you need, and hit the treadmill once in a while,' is not all that you need to get a body like a movie star, nor is even that much very easy. For starters, 'not eating more than you need' puts pretty much any pre-prepared food off the menu, unless you want to feed half, or more, of your serving to the dog. And then the dog gets fat.

Here are some pictures of women who are at the peak of their games - Olympic athletes, literally as fit as they can get - and hardly a one of them would make it into a fashion magazine. http://www.stumptuous.com/why-dont-you- ... ness-model

Fitness models only look like fitness models one week of the year, but they're still fairly muscular all the year. "More than you need" if more than you basal metabolic rate, plus your daily activity. If you eat a Big Mac, you have to compensate for it by eating less during the other meals. This goes for men as well. If you're 130 lbs, your basal metabolic rate is 1300 calories, which means hat you can spend all your day litterally flat on your back watching television, eat two chicken fillets, eat two slices of bread with butter and cheese, eat two sallads, eat five apples and drink as much coffee as you want during the day without gaining an ounce of weight. You'll burn an aditional 500 calories by doing you daily routine and can burn 300 more after an hour of low intensity cardio.

All the women pictured in your article are more muscular than almost all Hollywood actresses, though. Like I said: female actresses carry no more muscle than regular women, they just have a little less fat.

Normal- or thin-looking guy actors, who are nonetheless still attractive:


also? google 'bishonen.'
Also, don't put up pictures of actors in full 'on the set' condition against actress in 'off the set' condition. Both genders have to 'spruce up' when they're working.
Also, in all of the recent 'Avenger/Thor' movies, Loki is soooo much hotter than Thor (J/k; I know that actor is pretty built too - just making the point that bigger is not necessarily better).

Female actor's don't have to gain muscle while they're working; they just need to go from 25 to 20% bodyfat. Men have to gain both muscle and tone down to just above half of the medical idealfat levels if they're in a shirtless scene.

Keep in mind that I'm not only talking about the pressure women put on men, but also the pressure men put on men. Bane wasn't shirtless because women think he's hot, but because the movie team wanted men to say "holy sh!t that guy is big!". The rule of thumb is [in 2013] that men are pressured by men to be beefcakes and by women to be ripped, don't be bald, don't age, etc. Lastly, most women consider Johnny Depp to be hottest when he's cut and fit in a movie role, not when he's between movies.

^ 'Hottest' is not of that much importance when you consider that he's still very attractive when not working out. What you basically said was that you take a very attractive man, get him to work out a bit, and he becomes even more attractive. Who woulda thunk it?
