    My theory that I just made up without any research or noteworthy knowledge on the topic is that women have a slower metabolism (which is related to hormones as their muscle mass and density is lower).
    The slower your metabolism and your caloric intake the less cells are replicating. When cells are being replaced there’s always some degradation of genetic information involved. If you don’t require much energy and thus keep your metabolism low your body is under less pressure. It’s basically like a car with high mileage that has only seen constant slow long distance rides.

    Well it’s you who basically comes back to repeat the same talking points over and over. And I was saying it’s ok to make fun of fat people that you kinda escalated into bullying. You’re strawmanning and all your arguments are just whataboutism. I should’ve shot that down earlier but you seem very polite.

    Nah I think people should be more comfortable with a little mocking. Just because people won’t speak it out loud doesn’t mean you’re not discriminated against and I’m worried censoring the expression of natural thoughts on that topic will cause discrimination to fester in a more subtle way.
    The only people I won’t make fun of are those I genuinely feel pity for and except of very very very few exceptions fat people are in a position to change their fate and patronizing them isn’t doing them any favors.

    Or you can make fun of fat people and don’t care. It’s the one thing you can change about your appearance and not doing so is a sign of irresponsible neglect of your own body that shouldn’t be encouraged.
    It’s like making fun of a weird fashion choice or a silly haircut. It’s not like making fun of someones hight or dick size or whatever.

    I’m saying that as someone who was overweight most of his adult life.
