poliphiloOK- so it's wrong for women to be overweight.
And it's also wrong for them to be underweight. So wrong that Milan has banned skinny models from the catwalk and there are calls for them to be banned universally.
I don't know whether our society hates women or fears them or a bit of both but, whatever dark things are stirring in the collective psyche, what's happening out in the light is that women are getting bossed about- as usual. Ooh, they don't know how to look after themselves, the sluts; let's teach 'em.
Sit up girls and take notice; daddy has something to say; You've got to eat up everything on your plate or you don't get to go out to play. Yes, even the broccoli. Especially the broccoli. I know it's tough, Samantha, but it's for your own good!

And that's my point- society is always nagging at women to look like this, look like that. It seems to me that it's about control.
