<<Why do we let men affect the way we feel about ourselves?>> I suspect that this is hardwired into our primitive brains, really. Since the beginning of time, women who were more attractive survived to mate, and their mates were motivated to protect them and their young children because the rewards were pleasant. It has only been in the last few years that women thought they could survive without men, and that has been a disaster for everyone, in my opinion. Yes, they can work all day and take care of children all evening, but it is sheer survival, not really living for the most part. And in San Francisco single mothers often end up living in ramshackle studio apartments built into garages because it is not that easy to survive economically without men. Men in cultures where body fat symbolizes wealth do eroticize rounded female figures, and I suspect that in Louisiana and Puerto Rico that is the root. Also, if young boys with rounded mothers grow up loving them, they are attracted to the same female form. Only in western first world culture does extra body fat symbolize dysfunction and poverty; wealth is symbolized by elegantly slim fitness.
