Human rights activist Comrade Israel Joe has ignited a fiery conversation online after sharing a bold opinion about men who criticize women undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgeries. In a statement that quickly went viral, Joe pointed out the double standards, saying, “Many men condemn BBL, but if there is dick enlargement, they will enlarge their dick very very fast.”
His remark highlights the societal hypocrisy surrounding cosmetic enhancements — while women face heavy judgment for enhancing their bodies, men might eagerly embrace similar procedures if given the chance. The post has sparked heated debates across social media platforms, with many applauding Joe’s frankness and others pushing back, arguing that comparing female cosmetic surgery to male genital enhancement is a stretch.
Regardless, the conversation has brought attention to deep-rooted issues about beauty standards, masculinity, and body shaming in Nigeria.
