But to be fair she looked at least 80 in those pictures. So I guess they age accordingly.  What they call "lookism" is actually hardwired and healthy, not some horrible bias that can go away by lecturing people.  They look terrible, and it turns out they're unhealthy and very short-lived.   The stuff these types of feminists complain about--the expectation for women to be at a fuckable weight--is one of the cases where they're complaining about something inevitable. This also contradicts JayMan's hypothesis that obesity isn't the true cause of most of these deaths, and the real cause is stupid people (who are more likely to be fat) having a high mutation load--i.e., stupid people have bad genes.  The stats contradict this hypothesis. As do the 1950s MetLife tables--which don't have modern grade-inflation when it comes to BMI, so they pull no punches on statistical risks--made when most of the high-mutation-load population was thin.  Otherwise, we would not see such a dramatic change in Type 2 Diabetes deaths in the  course of two or even one decade.    This is notable because thanks to the hams on dating websites, etc.--especially if you're a lesbian or looking for women who are older than college-age--we've seen a change in the dating market correlating with America and other countries becoming HAES success stories; for context, compare American behavior to the behavior of women when there is a higher ratio of thin women to men.  I'm an asshole, not a good-two-shoes moralist, so on an emotional level I don't really give a shit about people dying so much as I give a shit about hamplanetry ruining sex lives--but ultimately the problem of fat chicks and the problem of a health crisis are one and the same thing.  Good dating market = healthy population. Note to SocJus academics: evolution is smarter than individual humans are.
