Something else that is also worse since the 1990s.

Women have always had somewhat stricter beauty standards foisted onto them than men.

But in the 2010s with the rise of Marvel and other similar superhero movies, that began to change. Women were psyopped into believing that if you were not completely ripped Hugh Jackman-style 24/7, then you were out of shape and had a “dad bod.” Never mind that for those scenes, Jackman was on the verge of death from dehydration, etc.

So, now, men also have absurd beauty standards applied to them. I don’t completely blame women for this; as I said, they were psyopped into it.

As someone who has a physique now approaching the Marvel superhero ideal (and could get there easily with 2-3 days of dehydration after a month or two of cutting a few pounds), I can tell you it’s really very difficult to achieve. It requires working out an hour or more a day 4-6 days a week. And not just putzing around. You must do hard workouts combined with eating well. And if you don’t want to use drug enhancement (and I do not), you must do this for years.

These days women assume you’ve never seen the inside of gym if you don’t look like Chris Evans in his post-transformation Captain America shirtless scenes. And that is pretty fucking absurd.

Again, the 90s were better.
