The section on childbirth "you don't need any drugs to do so" is *totally* patriarchal. And the bit on body fat "It's no secret that women naturally have more body fat than men, and for most women, it's a lot harder to keep that body fat in an "attractive" range. But, IT CAN BE DONE." The post partum weight loss... don't even get me started. Why even run this? It's not feminist. It's not empowering. It's "how to be men's ideal woman". I'm sorry, that's not why I lift.
