Have you noticed?

A trend of beauty and body issues trending in Fluther?

Furthermore, all of them, that I have seen, are submitted by females.

Assuming this group set is representative the larger population. What causes this difference?

Shall we take information at face value and say:

1 Men don’t have body image issues.

2 They have better coping mechanisms.

3 That they are more likely to repress that side of them and less likely to open up, even on an anonymous site.

4 By men being primarily visually stimulated women are put into the position of valuing standards of attractive body in themselves and others as a status symbol?

Or any other ideas?
