The male body is a form of art just
like the female body. However, when it comes to body objectification it’s more
common and unfortunately expected to see women’s bodies in full display as
opposed to men. This doesn’t mean that
male bodies aren’t objectified; it’s just not as common. This is similar to the
concepts we learned in “The Male Body” module where we discussed the ideal
beauty standards for men like grooming their hair, taking care of their skin, to
how their bodies are put up on display in the media.
In relation to
the ideal beauty standards for men, a video and article published on Buzzfeed
for Body Positivity Week show how the Try Guys try to recreate photos of their
ideal body type. It shows how men just like women, are pressured to feel a
certain way and that they too have insecurities when it
comes to their bodies. In the end of the
day, we as people should love our bodies regardless of the beauty standards
that society places on both men and women. Looks aren’t everything! Our beauty shines from within.
