A woman considers going on a diet? Patriarchy persists.

The assumption being that no men are ever scared on the street, never subjected to sexual violence and never shamed into going on a diet?

That's ridiculous. I've only ever been judged negatively for my body by women. I'm not skinny, dudes never care. Either they're into it or they aren't.

I think that this really only illustrates what an ill-defined concept "patriarchy" is for feminists. It's basically so vague that it can be blamed for anything and everything.

The worlds a dangerous place? Patriarchy.

You don't always feel happy? Patriarchy.

Your parcel's not been delivered on time? God damn it, patriarchy!

"If only there was a way to eat healthier without caving in to patriarchy. Ah well." nom nom nom

Yeah and of course men don't feel like they have high standards to live up to of course do they. It's not like they are pressured to look like models or celebrities. Of course not, its only women who have these problems /s

This is also just a fundamental misunderstanding of what diet actually means.

I (male) am on a perpetual diet. Because I don't want to look like a lardass. Is that the patriarchy too?

What is this source? It seems like a very outdated version of feminism
