Something to consider:
" Too much talk on women's body image, stripped of men's body image, causes more problems than saying nothing. "
It's a quote from a friend who holds two PhD's. We'll leave her name out.
What she's saying here is that so much talk of women's body image CAUSES body image problems in women. When, as is the case in our culture, there is no talk of men's body image, the situation becomes worse, more severe.
What do you think?

I think she has an important point! Our society is scaring our women half to death with over-talk of female problems and gross under-talk of male problems. The two factors taken together cause more problems than if we said nothing at all.
