it seems like (because Online is reflexively maximalist and doesn't know how not to take a joke too far) these things always start out meant as "men, if you don't wear shorter shorts because you think 'no one wants to see that', rest assured that's not true, you can!"—
as someone who deeply internalized the idea that men's bodies are inherently unattractive when I was younger, the former message is useful for me to hear! the latter, not so much.
