Men Can Never Be Too Fat (Reblog)

While reading an article on the potential application of mindfulness to eating disorders, I was struck by its focus on eating disorders as a woman's issue. No explanation is given in the article as to why it is focused on "women who binged" and why this research isn't gender-neutral. In fact, the discussion sounds like it could apply to anyone once you remove unnecessarily weighted language about those "emotions" (that I hear women have) and suchlike. The article even links to more issues related to gender difference.

May I simply ask, WTF?
