It seems to be the other way around for women, with a study finding that lesbian women reported less body dissatisfaction than heterosexual women.
According to the lesbian blogger Denise Warner, "women are more accepting of body flaws, possibly because they're so aware of the sexism in mainstream media" when it comes to promoting unattainable beauty standards. I came out when I was 15 years old. David compared himself to boys he thought were more attractive than him. David also thinks the LGBT community is judgmental about appearance. They go for two hours in the morning and two in the evening.

It definitely affects people negatively. Getty Images. A Grindr user agreed. They decided to make their video — in which they strip naked and talk candidly about their insecurities — after watching a documentary about the pressure women face to conform to media-driven beauty standards. Coercive control: 'I was 16 and thought it was normal'. First day horror stories: 'I crashed into a colleague's parked car'.
Nick Arnold 6 March Share this:. It is considered the female version of the Manneken Pis but it only arrived at the Belgian capital a few decades ago. It was built in and inaugurated in They say that it was constructed by hand by an owner of one of the restaurants in the area. The statue is quite similar to that of the Manneken and of the same height , the only difference is that instead of bronze it is made from limestone and instead of being stood up, she is squatting doing a wee as girls do and her face is a lot more fun than the Manneken Pis.
It seems that she is doing a trick whilst pissing. The girl is wearing two ponytails in her hair and is between some bars. Some people consider her the sister of the Manneken and others, like me, consider her the girlfriend. Jeanneke Pis is also naked but she doesn't have a wardrobe like the Manneken Pis. Let us hope that she receives some as gifts soon, I think that it is only a question of time.
If I were to tell you how I got to know Manneken Pis you would not think that it is not possible but I have known his name since I was very little, since in Murcia we have a chain of waffles places that have his name and that meant that they are of good quality at least the majority of them. Thanks to me liking waffles, when I was a teenager I heard about the Manneken Pis and I focused all of my attention on going there because I wanted to know what it really was.

Since then I have always wanted to know the small stone boy and the truth is that I was quite disappointed. I don't know if I was disappointed by the statue or the place where it is. The statue Lots of my friends, like me, froze since we didn't understand how it was so famous. By the end, however, we really liked him, especially when we saw him dressed in mops as a cleaner.
If you walk around Brussels, in particular to the centre you will see the Manneken Pis in all colours, sizes and constructions since lots of shops use him in their shop windows as an attraction to lure people in. One shop had a shop window with loads of Manneken Pis, every one of them of a different colour. Also, not only will you see him on key rings and cups, the traditional souvenirs, but you will also find him as chocolate in most of the bakeries in Brussels.
I bought a bag of the Manneken Pis as various types of chocolate as a gift for my family. On the other hand, the way I met Jeanneke Pis has even more grace. I was in the Delirium bar with some friends and some Asian people from the group were very funny. She was my future best friend from Taiwan I have told you about her many times and we were speaking of what we had visited during the day I was asked, "If we have already seen the girlfriend of the Manneken Pis, which in fact is right next to here" , and I was thinking "it can not be true". They took me to the place where the girlfriend was, right on the same street as the Delirium, and I was astonished.
It was a little girl doing an ass up, super-cute. I was glad to have heard about that because if I found out after leaving Brussels, I would have been so annoyed. To finish the story, we took a photo with the girlfriend and we were all in the position of doing pee , and the result is a very funny picture for my Erasmus memories.

Something that I found out afterwards from a friend who has done Erasmus in Brussels and something that fascinated me which I did not know is that there is also an animal version of the Manneken Pis. It turns out that it is a bronze pissing dog, the Zinneke Pis , which apparently is on the street without fences or a fountain around. After this, I would not be surprised if in the next few years the mother pissing, the father pissing and countless pissing characters throughout the city. I forgot to tell you that you do not have to pay anything to see these children or the dog thank goodness, because otherwise, I think people would visit them less and that there are no visiting hours either.
To get to the Manneken Pis, it is best to take public transport and to visit the Grand Place, which is a few meters away , on the way. In fact, it would be a sin to visit Manneken Pis and not the Grand Place. On the one hand, you can reach it by metro, the nearest stops are "Bourse" and "Gare Centrale" lines 1 and 5.
You can also go by tram, the stop is called "Anneesseus" and the lines that pass by are 3, 4, 31, 32 and Finally, another good option is to go by bus, as there are many lines that pass by the monument as 29, 34, 47, 48, 60, 63 or 65, among many others. To get to Jeanneke Pis, you can go from the Manneken Pis or from Grand Place, since the female version is the same distance from the Grand Place as the Manneken Pis but in the opposite direction.

The most popular are the following: Most of them revolve around a child being lost and one of the parents asking for help from other neighbours to find them. Another speaks of the son of Godfrey of Lorraine, who was captured by the enemies in the battle of Rausbeke and was put in his cradle in the branch of a tree, but the child jumped from the cradle and went to pee above the enemy troops , who ended up losing the battle. The most widespread is that there was a child who put out a fiery wick by pissing on it and saving the whole city from a fire.
