Beauty terror’ driving young men to abuse

Fat, it used to be said, was a feminist issue. But that was before the birth of the metrosexual, and his modern nemesis – the “moob”.

Now, drug specialists are reporting an alarming rise in the number of body-concious young men who are turning to the illegal use of anabolic steroids to improve their physique. Meanwhile, the number of men seeking breast reduction surgery to correct so-called “man boobs” is expected to hit a record high in a new report to be released on Monday.

They are the ugly symptoms of a new “beauty terror” gripping Western society, argues Susie Orbach, the writer whose theories on women and food made her a feminist icon 30 years ago. In an interview with The Times Magazine, the author of Fat is a Feminist Issue warns that, far from being a condition affecting only a few, as it did when she first wrote about it, “body distress” is now universal.

Never in my life have I ever thought that these ideas could even exist let alone justifying it by giving it a name. “Beauty Terror” what the hell does that even mean? And why does every simple and normal issue have to be a disorder? Why can’t people just be the way we are without bullshit like this becoming an excuse for every taboo thing (steroids) that happens. Its like A.D.D. , though I believe it is a real disorder, It is over diagnosed. Guess what, I hated paying attention in class when I was younger and so did 99 % of my class. That’s how kids are, that doesn’t mean they all have A.D.D. , when they can’t pay attention regardless of how hard they try, that’s A.D.D. . Yet people all around the U.S. and else where , use it as a tool to enable and drug there kids when their grades suck, when it is just another crutch for slackers to abuse.

Over the years I have heard so many reasons and excuses for using steroids, and Beauty Terrors are a new one. And it is way more full of crap then any other I have came across in my time. I have heard that bad genetics are the reason they used, or playing Division 1 Sports, or even to stay in shape as they get older. So when you give these young morons another excuse to do something stupid and blame anything but themselves, they will do so. Why can’t people take responsibility for themselves? Answer, because Doctor’s and Authors keep giving the World defined disorders for characteristics that aren’t much more then everyday human flaws. So give it a rest, there is no terror in being of average looks, and size. What is next Boner Terror, for every time a teen gets wood in class? It is crazy to me to believe such. Just my opinion.
