Do men have any equivalent of this?

Possibly all the stuff about being 'cool' -- right trainers, right drinks, right hair, right friends?

The thing that struck me about the montage was when it flipped into surgical stuff. I suppose men get plastic surgery, but not at the rates women do (or the same body parts).

Yes, you're right there. My instinct is that men still have it easier in this area, but I can hear various (male) friends screaming at me for that.

If they do, please do invite then to share in the conversation. Understanding is a good thing.

Will do.

Maybe not so much in terms of looks, but in terms of having to be tough and manly? But yeah, not as many messages telling them how they're lacking and can improve.

That "you're not good enough the way you are" is a killer.

Excellent work! Wish I was seeing that on tv.

No TV here, either. The internet is amazing.
