    And the real tell is that the warrior ideal combined with super broad chest and shoulders are meant to denote strength, but the strongest men tend to be thick through the middle and lack the bodybuilder v-taper they give these toys. Not that bodybuilders aren’t stronger than most people by far, but when you look at the people who hold records for lifting the most weight they’re nothing like those toys. It’s just as shallow and dumb as a lot of women’s beauty standards.

      For example, sumou wrestlers! Built like tanks, hit like tanks.
