Mom Goes Viral After Expressing Her Frustration On The Definition ‘Dad Bod’ Vs ‘Mom Bod’
A mom of a 12-year_old girl was disgusted after she researched the definition of Dad bod vs Mom bod. After expressing her frustration on TikTok the mother went viral racking up over 630,000 views.
Bry goes on to share that although both Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary’s meanings of “dad bod” contain positive words like “celebration” — and even go as far as to deem the body something a man “earns” when the “increasing pressures of work-life, married life, and especially fatherhood no longer allow him the time or drive to maintain a hard, toned figure” — most websites’ definitions of “mom bod” are decidedly less kind.
“You’re telling me that women spend nine months growing a human life inside of them. At the end of that nine months, they’re either sliced open, or they literally push a person out of their body, only to be minimized to a fat stomach, saggy tits, stretch marks and a double chin, when men will have the same body type and they are celebrated for ‘earning’ their dad bod?” she asks. “Can someone make that make sense for me? Because I am disgusted and frustrated.”
A lot of Tik too users were not feeling the definitions of those two terms. One person said “a man must have written this” and another person said “i feel sick after reading that”.
Bry, who frequently posts body acceptance content with her over 84,000 TikTok followers, said In The Know that she agreed to speak out on this awful double standard after one of her own TikToks earned a slew of body-negative comments.
“I was sitting down in a bikini and didn’t hide the fact that I have rolls on my stomach — why would I? — and the audio I was using was a girl saying she rated herself a 10/10 and that she was flawless,” Bry explained of the clip. “I didn’t expect it to go viral, but it’s sitting at 4 million views right now.”
