The championing of 'Dad Bod' wasn't a movement for male body positivity?

I think the problem with that term is it was created to describe one body type, but then got extended to describe others that dont fit the term. It was a throw back to how many of our dads were...someone who was actually athletic and strong, but not necessarily ripped or a body builder, like a laborer who likes to drink a lot of beer and eats not the best, but burns most of it off working. Then people started using  it to describe totally out if shape or never in shape men. So the word lost its meaning. I'm pretty sure it came from when women started seeing people share pictures of their parents and they are now around the same age and realizing that a lot of avg men (and women) of that Era were half hot...when they didn't "see" them as that before. "Wow Jen, your dad is actually kinda hot, he's got a dad bod." And I think with the currently trendy style of clothing today (normalcore..ect) people are dressing like our parents in the 80s and 90s and probably find it attractive.
