The Adonis Complex: Male Body Image

Bill Kuhl submitted this link to an older article on male body image. This I believe is an issue that needs more attention. From the article: "'This is a disorder that affects as many men as women, yet people assume this is just a woman's problem. Men die from these various forms of Adonis,' Phillips says. She cites steroid abuse, eating disorders and suicide. 'This is not to
minimize the suffering that women experience, but to say that men can suffer just as much.'"
