Girls definitly have it worse.
I have to disagree with decadence. At least on the magazine issue. Only in the last few years have you seen women who are not stick thin in magazines. With all the talk about body image, self-esteem and eating disorders, magazines (especially women's fashion magazines) are trying to appeal to the "larger" female portion of society. Every now and then Cosmo, Vogue et al. will throw in a few articles, about plus sized models, actress and fashion. These magazines don't do this because they are concerned with the distorted body images that women have to die or the ever increasing eating disorders, etc, etc. They do this to sell magazines. They know that a larger woman will pick up this magazine if the see something that appeals to them. They sell more magazines this way. But the next issue will be right back to the rail thin models. deviating from the standard image in magazines is a temporary way to increase sales.
Granted, more and more men are developing eating disorders but it hasn't affected the male population like it has the female population.
