Because this is fake.

Nope. Completely missing the point here.

This comment isn't criticizing women's dating preferences, it's criticizing the criticism on women's dating preferences.

People blame women for not dating moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and further funnelling them into the alt right pipeline.

People blame women for dating conservative men which affirms their political views.

It doesn't matter if women date conservatives men or not, someone will find a way to point fingers.

Nope. You've got it the other way around. I'm blaming people for criticizing women's dating preferences no matter if they date conservatives or not.

People blame women for refusing to date moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and funnelling them further into the alt-right pipeline.

People blame women for dating conservative men and affirming their conservative views.

It doesn't matter what political preferences women have, there is just no winning here.

I guarantee you don't know shit about anyone's health in your social circle because you think of yourself so highly that you can diagnose others just by how they 'look'.

'Simply follow CICO' is another way of saying 'I don't understand how metabolic and hormonal disorders work, I am privileged with access to healthy food and don't live in a food desert, I don't work multiple jobs and feed a family of 4, I don't know what it's like to lack the biochemistry to ever feel full after eating a meal, I don't struggle with eating disorders.

Obesity is a health problem. Saying that 'someone who otherwise doesn't have health problems is not making an effort to stay healthy' is as stupid as saying depressed people who don't have health problems aren't making an effort to stay happy.

'Not making an effort' from you says more about how easy and privileged you have it than how lazy other people are. Grow up and learn to have more empathy than a 3 year old.

Yes, let's blame it on moral failure rather than the destruction of walkable spaces, endangering as many outdoor spaces as possible with 3-ton emotional support vehicles, portion sizes at restaurants and grocery stores that are double of other countries because going anywhere requires committing to driving 15mins both ways and parking, and having fuck all for a health care system.

This says more about how women are socially pressured to wear make up, dress well, wax, and de-age themselves or risk being labeled as 'unwomanly' or become irrelevant.

How many men do you know feel pressured to put the same effort into their appearances as the average woman does?

And don't tell me how working out counts. One, there are zero health benefits to putting on make up. Two, women are incessantly reminded about losing weight rather than just be healthy whether it's from the media, advertisements, or just people using 'fat' as an insult especially for middle aged women.

How often do you hear old women being complimented on their appearances compared to old men? Forget about appearances, how often are they relevant in conversations? Invisible Woman Syndrome is almost like a super power.
