I'm not sure if this sub is the most ideal place to post this, but it will probably get the best discussion. This article came up on my facebook feed. Be warned, you'll want to drive your fist through your monitor. Topics include obesity, body image, fat acceptance, and political correctness. Taken together, how the modern woman is destroying their daughters physical health, work ethic, and prospects of healthy relationships. Here are some gems:

“I try to never say anything about weight,” said McKenna, who works for Lacy Leadership Association and also has 3-year-old daughter Amelia. “I don’t do the diets where you replace a meal with a shake. I don’t want her to ever see me eating differently than the rest of the family.” McKenna is right on point when it comes to helping her young daughters develop a positive body image — avoiding talk about weight, diets and outer appearances, experts say. Because it’s not the media or skinny, out-of-proportion Barbie dolls or even peer pressure that is the No. 1 cause of body issues for young girls. It’s their mothers.

Hmm. Mom is fat. Why is she fat? Beta male too afraid of getting put in the cage for commenting on her weight gain. Therefore, mom stays fat. Children happen. Little girl sees mommy is fat, therefore being fat is normal and okay.

Research has shown time and time again that the same-sex parent is the most important role model for a child. So when it comes to weight and body issues, Sim has strong opinions on what mothers should be doing. “Zero talk about dieting, zero talk about weight,” she said. “Zero comments not only about your daughter’s weight, obviously, but zero talk about your weight and even other people’s weight.”

Yes, let's just bury it all.

But Stokesbary is convinced girls with negative body images are “picking it up from home” as young as kindergarten and first grade. “They are learning it from mom and grandma,” she said. Stokesbary encourages moms to replace talk about outer appearances with compliments on the “math facts she aced or that she delivered a funny joke successfully.”

What the fuck.

“I purposefully don’t talk about dieting,” said Glesing, Indianapolis, the mother of 14-year-old Shannon, 12-year-old Ashley and 9-year-old Payton. “Even if I think I need to lose a few pounds.” The subject has always made her uncomfortable. She didn’t like hearing girlfriends talk about how they needed to lose weight in high school and she doesn’t want her daughters to have to hear it from her now.

Because she didn't like to hear it. Grow the fuck up.

Keep pushing your fat acceptance, like putting a band aid over a severed artery. It might last them into their teens, but how is their fat acceptance going to be treating them when they are looking to date and quality guys don't want to touch them? This gynocentric mentality is fucking destroying boys and girls, men, and women alike. Notice how there isn't a single male perspective presented in the article. I imagine they wouldn't publish a male opinion anyways if it went against their agenda.

And I've always had the thought that the obesity epidemic was a byproduct of caloric availability, but now I'm not so sure. How much of this is brought on by political correctness and fat acceptance? To the RP fathers out there, how have you dealt with this issue? How has the wife reacted?
