Ive been reading the beauty myth by Naomi Wolf and she makes some very intetesting points about the diet industry.
In the 1950s etc when women weren't in the workplace, curves were celebrated. Monroe was a size 16.
Since the 1960s when Twiggy was a role model, women were more succesful at work so the patriarchy had to make women slaves to being thin to keep them in check.
So do men prefer curvy women? Isn't fat on females healthy? Ive read on here that men stop fancying their partners when they put on weight?
So are thinner women more attractive or is that just what society wants?
From experience and after reading threads on here, dieting makes us miserable and we have a bad relationship with food..so why hate our natural curves (not obesity rolls of fat.)?
