#119 - What Does A Real Man Look Like?

Men feel immense pressure to look a particular way and they're breaking themselves, physically and psychically to try to get to reach those ideals.


As bodies are marketed to us as products and men are sold self-loathing, we have to ask: what does a REAL man look like?

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

• How male celebrities are getting the body-shaming treatment from the media
• Why the idea of what makes a "real" man is always in flux 
• How the "perfect" body has changed over time
• What men get wrong about trying to achieve the perfect body
• Why there's no body positivity movement for men

...and so much more.
