No Name Given said, "Really. Sometimes I think that after the Pankhursts, feminism has been nothing but one enourmous wank."
There is a running current in Salon letters for some people to read an article and just blame feminism for everything they disagree with. This article on weight obsession has nothing to do with feminism and just a little bit to do with self-confidence,self-indulgence, male-female relationships, consumerism, marketing, immaturity, egotism, and on and on. Feminism did not cause and will not take 'credit' for weight obsession, teenager's dressing like pros, or Victoria's Secret breastbots. I'm afraid that successful marketing in our consumer society won that round.
