do women in the last decade seem to be getting even fatter than the men are?  Yes. A lot of it has to do with the new tumblr generation that has claimed feminism as their own and distorted everything it once meant. It used to mean (in the US anyway) simply wanting to have a chance at decent promotions and managerial positions, not having to only do secretary work and be sexually harassed. Now I guess it means hating men and fattening up like a prize heifer. Not sure what being a fatass has to do with being female, but apparently it's 'empowering,' and anyone who would criticize is now a misogynist. For example, people recently cried misogyny when people criticized that morbidly obese Canadian minister of health... no one cries misandry when everyone makes fun of fatass Chris Christie or other fat men in media. It's shit like this that made me discard the idea of feminism years ago.
