In Man Up, Susanna Schrobsdorff paints a picture of what the world might be like if men feverishly conformed to beauty standards set by women. The commentary, published in Newsweek, effectively calls attention to some of the absurd things women experience, and are subjected to, in the name of beauty.
She writes:
“Perhaps we’d call it a ‘Gynocracy’-a place where superficial women would set the standards for attractiveness, and men would have to conform to them. It would be a place where ugly men would have a hard time getting a date or a promotion, and the women would burn off steam over beers at a restaurant called Hunks, where all the waiters must have 30-inch waists and grapefruit-sized biceps.”
