Daily Mail article

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2845335/If-picture-perfect-women-blamed-self-hate-eating-disorders-isn-t-one.html

I found this article on the Daily Mail and I think it makes a very good point. If it's outrageous for men to criticize women on their size, why should women do this to men? The article explains about how an advert for underwear has caused a massive scandal because it used the title "the perfect body" and the models were not overwieght. Granted, they weren't exactly average but still not, in my opinion, enough to make a fuss about. The article points out that if this is such a big deal, why has no one ever questioned the effects that male models have on other men, why is it never considered that male models and their toned bodies could also cause confidence issues, eating disorders and/or self-hate? Please read the article, it's actually quite interesting, it's not a rant.
