It's even worse than that, in this world of hyper acceptance and body image positivity, bald men are still open season for ridicule at any time. Hypocrites.

not really hypocrites. women pushing body positivity to fight bs will tend to push for women specific issues.

you can't sit on your ass and blame women for pushing social change because they didn't include you.

Go be that change, if it bothers you, organise, build coalitions with larger feminist groups. as well as other interested demographics like trans men. Even by yourself, nothing is stopping you from designing a zine and spreading them around your town (include a link to your group to grow your numbers).

I personally blame the Men's Right Movement, they took a couple of genuine grievances, and used it to blame women instead of actually fighting those issues.

When I did I specifically mention women? I give zero shits, it's just an observation.

you mentioned the body positivity movement, which is mostly pushed by feminists. and therefore, indirectly called them hypocrites.

want it fixed, fix it yourself rather than blame others for your lack of participation
