Women are pressured more to lose weight then men?!


Question:

Women are pressured more to lose weight then men?

I have to agree with this sentence, one evidence is the amount of questions that are asked about ways to loose weight on yahoo answers. About 75% are girls. This worries me. I wish girls werent pressured about weight and body image so much. I wish the pressure they currently face is instead aimed towards someones behaviour and attitude rather than body image. But I suppose not being so worried about someones body is almost impossible, as it is a human instinct for survival and reproduction. Who agrees that women are put under too much pressure, or maybe just not women....perhaps the whole human race are pressured to focus on their body, especially their weight.


Answers:

Oh absolutely, I am always trying to lose more weight. As a woman, we are made to believe we are not beautiful unless we are at an appropriate weight.

Think about Roseanne (Barr). How many times did people talk about her weight? I didn't see anyone talking about John Goodman's weight.
