Eating disorders are not just individual struggles; they are symptoms of a larger cultural problem rooted in patriarchal ideas about gender and appearance. To address the disproportionate impact of these disorders on women, we must challenge the societal norms that perpetuate them and promote a culture of acceptance, empowerment, and self-love. By recognizing the ways in which patriarchal ideas contribute to eating disorders, we can begin to shift the narrative and create a world where women are free to define their own worth—beyond the narrow confines of appearance and societal expectations. This cultural shift is essential not only for preventing eating disorders but also for supporting the recovery and well-being of all women.
