It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.
Boys and boys' body image and clothes have become just as important an issue for boys as for girls.
Guys want to be reassured, too - even the manliest of men.
In 'Attachments,' which is told from a male point of view, people asked me if a man would really think that much about whether a woman likes him. But I have a husband and three brothers, and they're all like that.
Guys aren't used to out-of-the-blue compliments.
Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them.
Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal. Let's face it: Russell Crowe is fat, and no one ever talks about it. Alec Baldwin just orders his suits a size bigger, and we continue to swoon.
I have a ton of guy friends who talk to me about their bodies, too. But boys are often left out of the body positivity conversation.
All men are body conscious. If they say they're not, they're lying.
