Why don't or didn't men start movements like body positivity or anti-colorism?

[Neuromancer]

I was wondering this based on the Martin thread. Was there a reason light skinned black men didn't start talking more about how weak they are portrayed in media?

In regards to body positivity. Did short and far men start a movement anywhere? I couldn't find anything online except people being made fun of or called incels.

Anyone know why these kinds of movements never took off?

Because people will call it gay

Crying and throwing a tantrum in public for sympathy and acceptance is typically what women do.

EDIT to make it straightforward:

Men have to prove their worth, women dont.

So its okay for women to make themselves look weak and vulnerable or beg, because this doesn't hurt their overall sex appeal.

Men cannot do this en masse. Because looking vulnerable and admitting you can't live up to an unfair standsrd is basically admitting you are inadequate since your worth as a man is based on your worth and power.

men know that haters don't disappear with complaints

the answer is to win & let them suffer hating

Male celebs who are light skinned have talked about having to throw hands over other dudes thinking they are soft because of their complexions. Especially athletes and comedians.




That random celeb who brought up Martin seems to remember what she wants to remember, though. As I think the Momma Payne character made jokes/references to Gina's color. I dont recall Martin ever directly joking/referencing Pam's skin color


People's personal experiences are their experiences, but social media movements are 99.9% hot air.

The Pam character, like Florence on the Jeffersons, Marcy on Married with Children, and Maude on All in the Family gave as good as she got when exchanging insults with the star of the show. That's the only way it works, otherwise the man looks like a bully.

Just the way men talk to each other. It's weird but we show we care with insults. Compliments use to come off as gay

Because women are fragile.

We ain't got time for all that. Starting a movement based on identity complaints is for people with too much time on their hands. lol

*Many people will view the men who complain about that stuff to be "weak" and/or "gay".

*Society doesn't put as much emphasis on men's physical looks as women's.

Men don’t lie and act like they want to be fat

 

[MajesticLion]

Men in general understand more that the substance of winning is better than the perception.


Childish people want both, and will go out of their way to rebrand weak mess as strength to help skew perception. It always ends up failing.

These questions are only asked because of the consistent attempts to make men more feminine and women more masculine in this era.

 

[Barlow]

World doesn’t care about men’s feelings. In response, today many men have checked out of society and living as a whole

 

[Panther]

Men have always been conditioned to be results oriented.

IE: If you're complaining about being fat, a man will just tell you to stfu and get in the gym.

Women lie to each other in that respect
