Essays on women, thinness and the patriarchy

Hi, I don’t know if this is exactly the right sub to ask this but I will try in a few. I’m looking for some in-depth essays that explore the desire, consequences and correlations between diet culture and the patriarchy. Personal approach and experience is also welcome. Perhaps also how this affects men and gym culture.

NB I have a lot of experience with losing weight myself, sometimes on the disordered side, started of as healthy and still going strong with a dietician. At the same time I’m unlearning toxic world views and just starting to learn how deeply this strive for thinnes is embedded within our culture. I am applauding healthy weight loss and see and experience all the benefits. But it’s time to dismantle this need to always shrink myself (and I’m writing an article about it so better start reading right).

I’m very curious about your thoughts. Much love.
