If you go by the media, there are unrealistic ideals for men as well. It's equally impossible for most men to look like male models. But as mentioned before, many people don't share the ideals portrayed in the media, they have more realistic expectations. I don't think this has anything to do with oppression. These media exist because people consume them, voluntarily. If you don't agree with it, you can always do as I do, just don't consume these media. If other people do, then that's their problem IMHO, nothing you or I can do about that.
