My boyfriend's most alpha moment, of recent, was bringing a box of 6lbs of meat to me to store in my freezer for us.
I'll begin my gathering of milk and vegetation at the grocery store later on today.

Why is it ok and people fighting for women to be accepted to have different body types,but not men 
There has been some movement for acceptance of different types of males aswell but unfortunately less discussed. Maybe its because men don't feel the need to discuss it (similar to not discussing male suicide rates which are the the highest). Either way it should be talked about more
Not to mention, there is a social undercurrent that a woman's primary "value" in society is in popping-out kids; therefore, her top priority should be her physical attractiveness to males.
Hence, the focus on correcting aforesaid attitudes in regards to women and girls.

Either way it should be talked about moreThere are some men who just accept that they are overweight. These men don't need a male fat acceptance movement because they have self-acceptance and they don't need approval from everyone else.

So women are just supposed to sit around and be protected? 
Anyone who thinks that has never seen the lengths a strong woman will go to in order to protect herself or her children.
Ironically, feminists tend to agree with the misogynists that women are incapable of protecting themselves.
Is feminism just another form of misogyny? Another way of controlling women instead of letting them be free to make their own choices?

Can we class theses as third wave or extreme. Personally I believe (along with other pro choice feminists) a woman has the right to do whatever she wants. If she wants to be protected then good for her, if she doesn't then good for her aswell.

Not always true I have a few obese male friends who would benefit greatly from self acceptance. After all self acceptance helps to loose weight
