This mindset seems to have come from the minority within the feminist movement. It's very much present within third wave feminism now. It mimics their version of "Patriarchy" in so many ways. Women are celebrated for having the same misogynistic and toxic views that men are accused of having. I noticed this years ago when I was an ally to the feminist movement. But when I noticed this and much more wacky things that feminists were saying, I've been looking at the movement from a distance. HAES was a natural ally to the 3rd wave because they get validation from their victimhood by their peers and they have an enemy to fight. Of course, they are wrong about their "enemy" and are only making themselves, and others they spew at, weaker and delusional. But I think the HAES movement is a special kind of crazy. Disbelieving the biological attraction and trying to socially engineer society to be attracted to something that doesn't even look human anymore, is nuts.  All these fatties do is make thin and fit women more attractive. And lets not forget that these fat women continually dream about being with toned, muscular men. They are the hypocritical puritans of our time. Except much fatter.
