The £15 Bodymax range go on sale this month to keep men in the loop with their female counterparts, the bestselling 'Bridget Jones' style control pants. The Bodymax pants reputedly raise men's bottoms by 20%. The 'frontal enhancement' pants have a 'unique integral shelf' that bumps up the lunchbox by a huge 38%. And then there's the Bodymax vest which tucks in moobs and beer bellies.
I suppose it had to come. True equality means men have the same insecurities to body shape as women. They have equal access to moisturisers, skin care products, cosmetic surgery, body waxing and manicures as we ladies. I can't help but thinking though, that the reason I like men is that they're NOT women. I quite like the differences between the sexes. Nothing wrong with a bloke being healthy, well dressed and clean - but manties? Nooooooo. So to all the males who read this blog...resist being demasculinised (not sure if that's a word?), resist being an emotional and sensitive metrosexual-type, and be proud to be a man warts 'n all. And please, resist all temptation to buy Bodymax manties to lift your bottom or increase the size of your package. It's not big and it's not clever.....
