Precisely! I mean, let's be real... men and women DO perpetuate really unhealthy body image standards for women, and probably to a degree that eclipses that of body standards imposed on men. Plus I think there's more shame around female body standards because apparent female value for a very long time has been based primarily on physical appearance. SO there's definitely a dynamic difference there. But you're right! I don't think that adopting rival double-standards is the way to address these issues.
