(36,925 posts)I'm not convinced even the fashion industry is contributing to this problem. As I said, nobody knows what causes anorexia. The only thing that really is known is that dieting is a trigger that causes some into a feedback loop they can't escape, so you might as well blame dietitians or anyone else that promotes healthy eating and a normal BMI. Objectification theory also has no proof between cause and effect. There's no shortage people who reject the idea outright, even feminists.
Publicly ogling anyone, male or female, has nothing to do with politics. Perhaps it doesn't belong here, but you can say the same thing about quite a few other subjects that seem to drive up high post counts. What does or doesn't belong here is the purview of the hosts, and I suspect the verdict and the fact that we can still post in this thread speaks for itself.
