This time Yahoo!

The site uses the tagline “Return of masculinity,” which looks curiously like misogyny. Other recent posts include “24 Signs She’s a Slut” and “8 Ways to Spot a Transsexual.”
Because promoting masculinity is misogyny

The piece — which kicks off with a stock photo of a beautiful woman in a red dress and high heels hunched over a toilet bowl — is, natch, upsetting and deeply offensive. It's also a really pathetic attempt at humor.
If a generic stock photo offends and upsets you, that's messed.

“It trivializes the illness — and it is an illness, it’s a disorder,” Dr. Robyn Silverman, body-image expert and author of “Good Girls Don’t Get Fat: How Weight Obsession Is Messing Up Our Girls and How We Can Help Them Thrive Despite It,” tells Yahoo Shine. “People make jokes about a lot of things, though. And bottom line is, it’s not funny.”
Another phony female doctor that helps continue the decline of western civilization focusing on bullshit feelings pseudo science while collecting the $$$$.
Her specialty seems to be promoting blue pill over parenting via feeeelings and "body image issues"

It’s also grossly, dangerously inaccurate, and based on a pile of eating-disorder myths. Luckily, critics have not missed a beat. More than 2,000 commenters have angrily swarmed the site, calling the writer out for being an “idiot,” “the worst kind moron,” “a joke,” and “absurdly misinformed,” and sharing both facts about eating disorders and painful personal stories.
Because you can call emotional hamsters with a smart phone "critics"

And then we get the list — presented here, blessedly abridged, along with some major corrections we gathered from organizations and experts who actually know what they're talking about:
1. “Her obsession over her body will improve her overall looks.” Not only will they be “rarely fat,” Tuthmoses writes, but, “Girls like this are usually deft at properly dressing their body type, which translates into a more stylish girl overall.”
Correction: In reality, as Silverman tells Shine, an eating disorder is not about vanity, but about control. “If you have a person really suffering from an eating disorder, she’s not wearing tight, fashionable clothes,” explains Silverman. “She’s more likely wearing big, bulky clothing that hides her body, because she believes she is fat, ugly and unworthy of being loved.”
Silverman is saying this because she does this herself (solipsism). Most girls purge or stop eating because they want to fit slim clothes. I have never seen the contrary.

2. "She costs less money." Because, like, they don’t eat much! Get it? Hahahahaha!!!
Correction: The first symptom of bulimia, as noted by the National Eating Disorders Association, is “regular intake of large amounts of food accompanied by a sense of loss of control over eating behavior.” Another warning sign is “evidence of binge eating, including disappearance of large amounts of food in short periods of time.”
Because National Eating Disorders Association is a valid overlord that decides this shit.

3. "She’s fragile and vulnerable." And confidence, as we all know, “renders a woman into an insufferable turd who thinks the world revolves around her,” while women with eating disorders are “eager to please.”
Correction: Women with anorexia “withdraw from usual friends and activities,” and are so obsessed with food rituals like “excessive chewing” and “rearranging food on a plate,” according to the NEDA, that they’re most likely not all that worried about making you happy, fool.
Again bull shit see above

4. "Probably has money of her own." “They aren’t too many poor girls with eating disorders,” according to Tuthmoses.
Correction: “Eating disorders have historically been associated with young, white women of privilege. However, this is a myth — eating disorders do not discriminate,” notes the NEDA website. Men, women of color, gays and lesbians, and people of all ages are affected.
Funny how this "correction" doesn't actually "correct" Tuthmosis's money claims. Hurr durrr
And finally the author
Over/under on how many cats she owns?
