So apparently skinny is really back for womxnand this time around it's called "ballet body" : TwoXChromosomes

>In an attempt to naturalize the pressures women face, the author talks about how body trends are nothing new: from 1920's to 2020's we have switched back and forth between body trends. Funny how women's ideal body standards are so strict that they receive a name each and nothing remotely similar happens to men.

>Imagine if we could track the ideal male body type for each decade the last 100 years. If everyone knew men were expected to have "boxer body" in the 80's, a "meth chic" look in the 90's, a "hunky stud" body in the 2000's and now a "gymnast body". If women talked about men's "hip to shoulder ratio".

Straight men don't care about all these shifting fashions, though. For us the type of female body that is attractive has been constant for a very long time. All these named female ideal body standards are just bullshit inflicted on women by the fashion and pop culture industries, which are fields that only a small fraction of all men work in. The average man has never heard of any of the various female fashion trends and would find them boring if he did.
