Reversal of Roles

[Guest guest]

I just had a thought......that what if nature had switched

roles....and that only men could bear children?....and nature had

gifted men with an extra layer or two of padding, to help insure the

continuation of the species.....and men would have a tendency to put

on weight, have periods, cramps, hormones--everything that we women

deal with.....and what if women glorified only beautiful, gorgeous and

thin men.....and posted them all over the TV, movies, magazines,

films, etc...and featured articles, books, programs, etc. about how

men could " lose 10 pounds " and become more attractive to

women.....just wondering.....--debra

Then we would probably call ourselves men and the men women!! LOL As

hard as it is to appreciate, men get to face the fact that nature

figures they are 'expendable' (it only takes one man to keep about 20

women pregnant so there really could be a LOT less men and humans

would survive). Plus they are so much more 'captured' by their

hormones which directs their focus towards breeding much more than

women have. (little head runs life more than big head) Life is a

'beetch' more often than not, but that's life

Hi Everyone,

This is all true, and it's a fact that more women have body image issues than men, but let's remember that we do have some men on this list, and many men do have body image issues and food and dieting issues similar to what we are experiences. You would be surprised how deeply ingrained the diet mentality can be in men too. I've worked with a few, and it's tough for them.
