(via Anglobitch: Fat Camp: Anglo American Women and Obesity)

For the real cause of Anglo-American female obesity is in fact the puritanical ethos that pervades the Anglosphere. Because women possess sex in a repressed culture, they are under no obligation to improve their appearance: simply being female is impressive enough. Anglo women continually regale themselves with fairy tales that men secretly adore the ‘big and beautiful’ (i.e. fat) build. Essentially they are used to attracting men: because, until recently, men had no alternatives to choose from. Now, with lithe, tawny models available from Hungary to Brazil, that arrogant assumption no longer holds water. Instead of grasping the nettle, accepting the new romantic marketplace and losing the pounds in order to compete with the lissom lovelies gracing the dating sites, the Anglobitch retreats into comfort eating, bulimia and neurosis.
