    I think this comic really misses the point. It doesn’t matter that most women don’t want super muscely Chris Hemsworth, because that’s what the media is telling young men everywhere that women want, and that’s why it’s problematic. If you aren’t a ripped stud like Chris you aren’t attractive, and you aren’t even a Real Man ^TM. You see this all the time in incels who think all women want Chad.

      Yeah, but this is about women in media, using men as an example.

      If the male power fantasy is problematic, is not the topic of the comic. At least that is designed for men, but women don’t get anything designed for them. That’s the issue

      Unpopular opinion in this thread, but I’m not convinced that women don’t like guys who are in shape. It’s not like Chris Hemsworth and Jason Mamoa are overly-muscled body builder types. I’m sure some women like femboys and dad-bods but that doesn’t seem to be the majority
