Male Body Positivity

Body positivity means acceptance of bodies just as they are, in hopes of promoting positive body image. One that promotes self confidence and worth regardless of body type and shape. .

While this is such an important message, it’s often targeted solely towards women - leaving out a large percentage of the population that might also be struggling. .

Men often are also expected to measure up to potentially unrealistic standards - big upper body muscles, chiseled abs, porn sized penis (bc that’s the standard right?!). When we stress the importance of body positivity, it must extend to men too as it can just as easily have a negative impact on their worth and self confidence as it does on women. Male body positivity matters!
