This "dad bod" shit needs to end. Now. There was an article this morning in a local paper about that woman photographer who apparently takes pictures of subhumans with "dad bods" in order to "fight beauty stereotypes" (here's an archived sample of her "work"). I'm so sick of this bullshit. Fitness is not a stereotype. Fitness is not that odd thing on the outskirt of human behavior. Fitness is supposed to be the baseline. Survival of the fittest; that's what got us here, remember? Male beauty standards are pretty straightforward and have been for a long time. Sometimes the dudes are hairy (yes, I'm thinking about you, young Alec Baldwin), sometimes they're smooth. One thing they all have in common: they're fit, because that's what a man's supposed to be. It's not a stereotype. It's what living on a planet where everything wants to kill you and eat you is supposed to produce. Dad bod? Fuck that. If you can't outrun a predator, you're not fit to be anyone's dad. You are a fat shit. Don't have your picture taken by some cunt out for publicity. Use that precious time to kill yourself.
