And I generally feel good about how I look!
Rightly so!
Emmett is more conscious of being ripped than I was at his age. I mean, I enjoyed my physical peak but I was more aware of how strong I felt than how sexy that might appear.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I imagine men and women fail to meet society's standard for "sexy" at about the same rate, but I don't think men are under the same pressure to BE EXACTLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SEXY ALL THE TIME OR ELSE YOU FAIL AT PERSONHOOD the way women are.
I do think that body dysmorphia is more common for men and boys than it used to be, but nowhere near women and girls. And for people without a disease, I think the "acceptable" zone is smaller for women.

My suspicion is that the box has more elbow room for guys than girls (if not only because the standard mode of sexy dress is so much more revealing for women), but I'm hardly going to bring that up anywhere with people I don't know.
Also, apparently penis size is exactly as much a hangup for guys as breast size for women.
Where are they seeing all these penises?

And men can make up for some things (or seem to think so) with money or cars or whatever. Whereas if you're a girl, the world still expects boobs and makeup and jiggle.
I imagine they're seeing them in locker rooms, but (from what I've heard, I have no idea) isn't the explanation that some are growers and some are showers?

I mean, it's not like we have to wait for someone's nipples to stick out before we get that our racks are not like theirs. And I *think* most women get the idea of how much pushup and cutlets can achieve.
It's the double-sided tape that's the revelation.
What does the double-sided tape do? (says the A cup girl)

Never have wanted or envied big boobs. Wish my current DDDs were Bs again. As, even. I want perky little boobs so I never had to wear a bra.
Yeah, tape cannot create flesh where no flesh there is.
On the boy/girl topic, I have never heard a small boy say he's fat. The youngest girl I've heard say she was fat was 4. My (so thin and muscly she has 6-pack abs) 8 year old asks me if she's fat all the time. And we're a household with very few body image demons; thin-body privilege is our middle name around here.
