I believe that big men are more accepted. Women in this day an age seem to have to fit a certain standard. There ARE men out there, however, who like thick women.

Yes, what you say is true, unfortunately. I have a cousin who is having a tough time in her teens, as her friends think she is too big for today's beauty concept. No matter how hard I try to convince her that she is beaufitul with her large eyes and perfect features, she tends to pay more attention to what her friends say. Even as she grows up to a woman, she may face the same problem I guess, though I believe it is just a matter of perspective. It is quite surprising that men are considered more powerful and authoritative when they are big. I can only say that it is high time we get rid of such misconceptions.

You are right about society accepting bigger man than bigger woman.I say it has to do with the media.They tend to make it that girls have to be a certain size and have a certain body(shaped like a coke bottle)LOL.. I dont find it's fair.I think we shouldnt pass judgment on how big someone is or not.Does that change who they are not really.

the society still possesss a little that racist mentality, that still was not suprimidade total, and the women suffer due to the world from the fashion that imposes certain standards of feminine beauty, no longer masculine world are not charged with as much force
