An idea about why there isn't more fatshaming of males here and elsewhere As a human-sized female, I frequently note that fat-shaming seems to largely target female butterhuffers. Men just seem to be more vocally offended by the existence of creatures who would willingly eat themselves out of all possibility of beauty and health than women are offended by creatures who eat themselves into ugliness, uselessness, and a penis imbedded deep inside a fatty pudenda. I don't think that it's a matter of men being more vicious and demanding than women. I suspect that women simply do not even expend energy in noticing fat men, much less complaining about them. From an evolutionary standpoint, women really only need a good man for one thing: fertilizing our eggs. The rest we can manage on our own or by banding together with friends and relatives. Fat men may show up on our radar for a moment of disgust, but otherwise they are greasy spots to avoid as we navigate through the world. Women don't see the need or use in complaining about fat men - after all, men have been engaged in more risky and dangerous behavior than women, and have suffered greater casualties at younger ages, since we've been in social groups searching for fruit and fighting off intruders. One more way of being a self-destructive dumbfuck  -- eating yourself to death -- is added to a list that includes binge drinking, fighting, racing on public roads, etc.  Women are more inclined to pay attention to attractive men rather than point fingers at the revolting creatures lumbering around, leaving stains on benches and sweat droplets on desks. Men, on the other hand, are keenly aware of just how much male attention (and possibly sex) a woman who has even average attractiveness receives, and because men have to compete so much for attention and sex, it blows their minds that anyone would voluntarily choose to be physically repulsive. It's as if starving people are watching someone wipe their ass with steak. Women who choose to be ugly are throwing away everything a man has to actually work for. Of course men are going to more actively belittle that behavior.
