Honestly I disagree. I rarely see men judge a woman for looks. It's typically women judging other women for looks. I've never seen a man look down on a woman for not having painted nails for example but have seen woman comment on another woman for her nails being chipped.
There was an old joke like "if you ever are about to have sex with a man and he comments about how your panties and bra don't match... RUN! What is wrong with that person? No man cares, hell you're about to remove them anyways."
Edit: men are dangerous for many reasons. Typically the opposite problem, they see a woman as too beautiful to refuse the desire to have sex with them. They rarely have the feeling of" well she would be pretty but seriously, that shirt with those heels?".
Idk if you're a man or a woman, but that's a wild take. I've definitely heard men nitpick a woman's appearance, including chipped nail polish, but above all about weight, which is a big part of the original post.
In my experience, women are more likely to talk trash about things easily changed: judging someone for clothes that don't fit well or makeup that's poorly applied, whereas men will trash women for body type, weight gain, and aging.
And if you think a man is dangerous to a beautiful woman who rejects them, you don't want to meet a man who is mad a woman "below" him has rejected him. That can be violent.
Internalized sexism fam
Sexism against who and by who?
Sexism is the systematic inequitable treatment of girls and women by men and by the society as a whole Its a form of internalized oppression which consists of oppressive practices that continue to make the rounds even when members of the oppressor group are not present
Why are women excused but men not? This is why people are downvoting you, you're holding a double standard.
Women are free from blame because it's "internalized" by society but men are apparently immune to that same society? No "internalized" excuse for them?
It's pathetic and infantilizes women, it doesn't defend them.
Men aren't a part of society got it
Ok, so they bear no responsibility for their own actions.
Congratulations on completely infantilizing women.
