It’s Not Just Women
While women’s bodies are often subjected to harsh beauty standards, with new, unattainable expectations continuously emerging, the practice of presenting a flawless physique on social media can also be detrimental to men. Thankfully, some male influencers have stepped up and shared their “posed vs. unposed” photos on Instagram. These posts reveal that hardly anyone possesses flawless abs or conforms to the idealized images often propagated online.
These male influencers challenge the perception that men are exempt from body image pressures and encourage discussions surrounding the unrealistic standards imposed on all genders. Their willingness to showcase authenticity contributes to breaking down stereotypes and fostering a more inclusive and accepting online environment.
