[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: stop treating body image issues, skewed perceptions of beauty and acceptance, and health concerns like they are exclusively "women's troubles."

There's my PSA for *you.*

-loving sister of an anorexic brother in recovery[/quote]

I am just speaking to my experience as a woman. I'm sure men have issues with these things, but I've never had a man try to shame me over food or weight. That's why I directed my comment at women -- because I am speaking specifically to the phenomenon of women infecting each other with these attitudes.

I am sorry to hear about your brother and wish him a healthy and strong recovery.[/quote]

While I appreciate that, I hope you can educate yourself. When men and boys are made to feel like horrible things like anorexia, race and incest, and domestic abuse only happen to women, they feel like they can't speak up and ask for help. Your attitude here is a major part of a very real problem. I hope you will reflect on that and DO BETTER with how you speak and advocate in the future.[/quote]
