âThe double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But itâs a wolf in sheepâs clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think youâre on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesnât make us feel good. Youâre selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. Youâre selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. Youâre like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think itâs unacceptable and I donât care if youâre a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (âŠ) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just donât think thatâs an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes⊠why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And itâs not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and theyâre even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, womenâs magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. Itâs so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.â
