The notion that guys don't experience body-shaming has been proven to be totally and completely false. Action star Vin Diesel himself has even been subject to such scrutiny.
Photos of a less-than-svelte Diesel recently began circulating, and the press proclaimed that the actor had adopted a new "dad bod" (a phrase which we really need to retire already).

Diesel responded to the unflattering comments with a few choice Instagram photos.

"It is amazing the response from the journalists who I have been talking to for the last two days in New York," Diesel wrote on the Instagram post. "Today one wanted to see the dad bod. Haha. I am wondering if I should show the picture... Body-shaming is always wrong! What do you think?"
Diesel then followed up with a proud photo of his abs, essentially telling the haters where they could stick their observations.

"The pic from yesterday," he wrote. "For those who wanted the show... For all the angels that love dad bod regardless."
