Headline from the future: “Kate Moss is fat!”
The Wall Street Journal ran an article recently on young girls’ dieting and related disorders. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204731804574386822245731710.html#articleTabs%3Darticle
Reader Jennifer Lee apparently thinks that with greater power, women will not be so concerned about being thin. She writes (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052970203440104574405293662090748.html):
“From political leaders, to business leaders, to movie directors, men are in charge. Women and girls see and know this. We need to level the power playing field to change girls’ self-esteem.”
But wait – when one thinks back a few hundred years, when guys held even greater power, weren’t Rubensian (i.e., fat) chicks all the rage? At least, that’s what the feminists have been telling us.
Its not illogical that the growth in female power and sexual expression causes girls to diet. As girls become freer in their sexuality and eschew monogamy, they are more oriented toward appealing to smaller groups of alpha males. Competition among the girls heightens, and, juala, they get thinner to please the alphas. Its not low self-esteem that causes them to diet – rather, its bloated self-esteem. They all think they have a shot at at-least-sharing Tom Brady.
Of course, as you guys know, the playing field is already slanted in favor of women, and it looks like if it gets even more slanted in their favor, Kate Moss will be considered fat.
