The ‘Dad Bod' Movement Is not About Women Digging Fat Dudes
'Dad Bod' Is A Sexist Atrocity

Effectively, to be sincere, it is normalizing the double customary that men can have no matter body shape they please, while girls are held to the next judgement, with expectations together with a variety of adjectives that are not straightforward to take care of: fairly, skinny, toned. The signs of the dad body are all there: beer bellies, flabby arms, and being the much less engaging one in the relationship. Girls, you don't need a Dad Bod”-boyfriend to make you are Dad bod feeling more secure about your body. The dad bod says, ‘I'm going to the fitness center often, however I also drink heavily on the weekends and luxuriate in eating eight slices of pizza at a time,'” writes Clemson College scholar Mackenzie Pearson in an article that went viral and accounts for the present fixation on the Dad Bod. The issue with the Dad Bod is not what it says about males, however what it says about women and how we treat them.

So in summary, the Dad Body” is an obese, flabby physique that isn't tremendous engaging, but is not overweight, both. For the reason that post went live, the term Dad Bod” — or Dad Body” — has gone viral, and the Web has mainly gone bananas. Pearson says there is something about the dad bod that makes boys seem more human, natural and enticing-and I am unable to disagree with him there. I'm not going to say I hate the dad physique, as a result of I feel everyone should be comfy in their own pores and skin, whether that pores and skin is toned or flabby.

Chris Pratt nonetheless will get to rock a Dad Bod when playing humorous on Parks and Recreation, but when he wanted to be an motion star, he had to get buff for Jurassic World. But simply as the beauty standards for men were starting to get as stringent as they have all the time been for women, along comes the Dad Bod. That is the issue with the Dad Bod: It continues to reinforce inequality about what is acceptable for women and men.
