when will it become normal to include men?

Agreed. We live in an image-obsessed culture so no surprise that men should not experience body dysmorphia as much as women.

Men may worry excessively about their muscularity, height, poor skin, hair loss, body hair, penis size.

Yes, men and boys suffer from eating disorders, breast cancer and a host of mental and physical problems, or perceived problems, that people think of only as female problems.

I do so agree. I had to argue this point at a lecture many years ago when a very strong feminist stated that only girls feel pressure on them to conform to a certain image. My son is extremely hairy, all over his body and as a teenager did not conform to the current androgynous boy band looks that still remain fashionable today. He felt extremely uncomfortable about taking his clothes off on the beach and exposing his Torso (not to mention legs). Fortunately adulthood and marriage gave him confidence in his own body and his own look.
