Why is it perfectly acceptable for a woman to point out a man's bald spot in a conversational group... but an absolute disgrace for a man to point out a woman's weight gain in the same conversational group.
"You're looking a little thin up top, there Bob."
Everyone chuckles. Bob's expected to take it in stride as "good humor".
"Putting on a little weight these days, eh, Glades?"
No one chuckles. The consensus is Bob was mean, and should apologize, and if this were a work place he could be fired for this comment.
To objectively look at the situation...
Bob has no control over his hair loss.
Glades has control over her weight gain.
Both are likely areas of some self-consiousness for the affected person.
What would Pac-Man do?
