I would also have to agree. Although this title is an attention grabber, it is offensive and demeaning to women.Our society today has put so much emphasis on how we look. In fact, "for many young women in America, the body has become an all-consuming project--one that takes precedence over all others" (Wood, p. 152). For some it is a constant battle. We are either too fat or too skinny and society seems to have a name for everyone. Hence, the title of the book. I know the author entitled this book to grasp the attention of readers, but I'm sure another title would have been more appropriate as well as noticeable.
