Why are all these people railing against "diet culture" women? Damn ladies, it's like, have some willpower or something, geeze louise. Put the little debbies down, miss piggy. More deviled eggs, less devil dogs, sweethearts.

Because women are often pushed into dieting for body image but these people are using legitimate concerns about diet culture which emphasizes fads (Atkins, Weight Watchers, fucking liquid diets) and misinformation (loW FaT Is hEalThiER ThaN Fa T) for generations and turning it into a full spread social movement. Like with all modern social justice it starts with a legitimate cause for concern that evolves into a harrowing thing where they convince themselves being morbidly obese is healthy and acceptable. Except unlike most social justice this will end with most of its supporters death by a heart attack by age 45.
The unfortunate thing is many fitness people agree with them about fad diets. Many people are turning age old diet advice since the 50’s-60’s on its head and eating high fat diets (avocado for instance) and fully embracing carbs and cholesterol while avoiding sugar at all possible. Much of today’s “diet culture” emphasizes eating natural, whole foods and changing your lifestyle to the point where it’s not a fad but just the way you live. For example I eat white rice damn near every day and diet experts tell me it’s not healthy but I lost serious weight eating it despite being - oh no - carbs!!! I basically eat what I want with moderation being key. But they’re so far gone they can’t listen to reason. They think things like calories in calories out is a diet for instance and now equate the word diet with a bad word to be avoided when it’s literally just what you eat.
Combined with women becoming obese at a staggering rate and you’ve got this situation where mostly women rebel against the fat oppression that is modern society.
I honestly empathize with modern men who have to deal with dating today’s soc jus women.
