Dadbod v. Death of Pretty ( interpetation of man?)

In the "Death of Pretty" by Pat Archbold, he talks about the definition of pretty. Although he does state in the beginning,"This post is intended as a lament of sorts, a lament for something in the culture that is dying and may never been seen again. Pretty, pretty is dying." and later states,"People will define pretty differently". He defines pretty as a sense of women being between a perfect and simple balance of being beautiful and being innocent. Although he does state that this is just one of his opinions I feel like this is a very close minded approach to what he defines as pretty. He goes to say that women are losing a piece of common sense and intelligence that they once had to be beautiful and innocent, in a sense implying that women are losing their classiness that was once all the world was about it the past and anything a stray from that was ugly and women would be ostracized called ugly names for being other than a stay at home mother with makeup and a smile on their face. I feel like when he tries to imply that women are striving for a look that is "hot" or just being "hot" and that its unattractive and men aren't looking for "hot" women or if they are "hot" women they will be used and thrown back out and not be taken into a serious relationship, he strays away from the face that women aren't being in a moment to be hot for men but rather to embrace other women, just like the moment of feminism to encourage women that you and be a very beautiful, "hot" woman , and be a intelligent and successful woman. The movement of feminism has moved women to be "hot" but it hasn't moved them from being innocent or beautiful. Rather it has encouraged women to care less of what men think and care about themselves as individuals and their own success.

In "What is a Dadbod?" by Spencer Kornhaber, he talks about the physique of men with a not so perfect physique being accepted more in society. Continuing to quote by Sara Vilkomerson,"' One by one, from Hollywood to the Hamptons, men have been liberated themselves from the flat-stomached emo-boy reign of terror'". In this I feel as though there is a bias to this article/blog in the sense that a man has written this article and I do agree although it is a step up for humanity to accept all our imperfections and accept them for what they are , will still stray a little short in the sense that men are allowed to be embraced for their imperfection and embraced to the highest for the things that women are criticized in the most. Further in the article he argues and explain how this "dadbod" image has become a viral sensation and women all through and though are falling head over heals for these physique, I feel like while embracing the face the the chubby or imperfect physique that some may have they forget that its not all women that are in love with this physique but rather in the eyes of each individual. Each woman has a different liking for different bodies, different personalities and different genders. Just because it becomes something popular and it is socially praised in the social media doesn't mean that women will be drawn like flies.

All in all both these articles have a great amount in common they both talk about the occurence of change that is occuring in our society the change from women being shy and afraid to be who they are and just sitting in silence being beautiful and innocent to being out spoken and strong individuals, similarly with men acceptance of physiques.
