Women run the consumer market. Women dictate the market (supply/demand). I suppose some women might find it useful to attribute problems to "gender inequality" in order to lose weight. But there's a problem: Once the woman loses all that weight; hits her weight goal -- what then? She psychologically hits a brick wall. If she's thin, and continues to do the psyche-up of "blaming guys", now what? She's gotta continue to blame-guys in order to maintain her weight, or join the anti-guy brigades of feminism in order to maintain her new low weight?
Or will she begin binging once she realizes it was just the "energy drill" that fueled her to lose weight; not necessarily the mantra of "blaming guys" (oppressive society)? She could have picked "any" mantra.
VERY astute observations! And most of the women who ascribe to the idea that external, resistant forces are what make them fat are simply following the "I can't be responsible for myself" mantra of the left.
