I got the same impression. The author's opinion is that intermittent fasting is an eating disorder and then uses that position to say, "Men are underdiagnosed with eating disorders. Here's how that affects women the most." These journalists are incapable of putting down the victim card for a moment. They can't just say (wrongly) that this should be an eating disorder because we need more awareness and EDs are bad. It has to be "Well, men might have EDs too, but women have worse social pressures."
