Duh... Of course it is[/quote]

But most of the men here didn’t take the bait.   For what it is worth, [b]I agree — men and women aren’t the same[/b]. There’s no need or excuse for a man to be obese. (Barring some real health issue.)   Pump iron and eat low carb.  Done.  He owes it to himself to stay strong and laying that out directly is doing him a great favor.

It’s not as easy for women and it’s a much harder conversation to have, IMO.  [/quote]

Do we like this reasoning to also explain why men have more leadership positions? Have more STEM jobs? Are not as inclined to child rearing instead of productive endeavors outside of the home?

There’s definitely a clear link.

From an early age in childhood I consumed media that said what made a woman valuable was her looks/thinness and what made a man valuable was his professional success and money.

Today a woman will be hurt if you call her ugly and fat but a man is more likely to laugh it off. But if you call a man unambitious and unsuccessful, he’ll probably get more upset than a woman, who knows that her ambition isn’t has highly valued. [/quote]
