A there is a cultural assumption, which, in effect, the UK government deployed last week in public, that women deserve no accountability, especially if you can blame the issue on their "vanity".
B it is cheaper for everyone, in the long run, to face the problem only when a crisis arises instead of tackling it on its very source; so the UK authorities have adopted a deplorable head-in-the-sand attitude.
C women prefer glossy magazines over medicine journals and are generally prone to throw caution out of the window as soon as someone, somehow, offers them the opportunity to get the “perfect body.”
D society, as a whole, still treats them as second-class citizens, and lonely voices, as the UK health minister’s or the frightened participants of the Newsnight program’s, still fall in a void and get no answers.
E they, unlike men, aren’t very careful with their own health: vanity, as the participants of the Newsnight program have demonstrated, is still the determinant factor when it comes to make choices involving one’s body.
