Men paying to have their jaws broken in the name of ‘manliness’

It sounds horrifying, but I don&#x27;t think these men are that irrational. Being good looking is the recipe for living life on easier mode, and a very thin sliver of bone on a man&#x27;s face can be the difference from being far below average looking to far above average looking. It seems entirely rational to make a short-term sacrifice for a good life.<p>If you&#x27;re against this, have you thought about the intense frustration and pain some men feel in their lives to even consider something this extreme? I&#x27;m not saying I&#x27;d do it or recommend it, but I understand why somebody would think about that.

Gender affirming care for cis people—same as breast augmentation, hair transplants or hormonal&#x2F;endocrine modifications.

… legs broken in the name of being taller, all sorts of weird injections, etc.<p>One of my son’s friends got into the wheat waffles and Tik Tok rabbit hole, refused my offer to teach him weightlifting but stole money from his mom to buy steroids, broke contact with my son because my son is taller and doesn’t want to be “heightmogged”.

The author highlights an insecure man who says he was border line suicidal. The reader is left believing that fringe online culture is making young men engage in drastic surgeries to be chad like.<p>Here is an alternate hypothesis: People with expendable income, or the insecure, are paying for cosmetic surgery just like they always have.

This is probably a sensationalist exposé on a very very niche sub-subculture, but this just goes to show, for every modern societal ill, there is a much dumber and counterproductive &quot;cure&quot; peddled by those who know how to make good money.

These guys have some latent homosexual tendencies (not that it&#x27;s a bad thing per se obviously).<p>But I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s controversial to say that male models and Hollywood actors are not exactly manly figures.

Why do we have to shame people for cosmetic or gender affirming surgery?

Disgusting clickbait title. You could say this about any surgery.

&gt; “I think I’ve done everything I can do for myself with looks, really,” he says. “Now it’s just about my personality.”<p>and a new look will not help with that.

Whatever happened to &quot;squats and oats?&quot;
