The Sexes are Finally Equal [Manorexia]

AN old coworker used to tell me that the sexes would never be equal until a woman could walk down the street in men's underwear and get laughed at.  He was a deep thinker (wonder whatever happened to him...).

Part two of Sexual Equality has come to fruition under the auspices of Manorexia.

I'm laughing so hard that it's difficult to type.

I suppose it was inevitable, though...  I will admit up front that I'm one of those guys who doesn't buy the excuse given by women who are affected by this sad disorder: that it's because of the media and models setting an unreasonable body type.  At no point did the media and models come to people's houses and snatch the food from their mouths.  It's personal responsibility, folks.  You and only you are responsible for what you put (or don't put) into your gaping maw.  Don't blame your lack of self-esteem on society.

I will also admit to a bit of an internal conflict here: I love skinny, petite women.  But that's my problem, not yours.   I prefer them anorexic - I like to hear the cartilage crunch (but I kid).

And let's be real here - it's not that men are suddenly developing eating disorders; they have always had them but only recently are they coming out of the closet in numbers (much like male victims of childhood sexual abuse).

Stated another way, the men are starting to come out of the closet and blame society, just like women.  Hence Equality.

It's going to be a long, fast handbasket ride and I'm not totally convinced it will be worth it.
