Is blindly conforming to society the same as obeying their demands?

“Female fat [as] a moral issue is articulated with words like good and bad. If our culture’s fixation on female fatness or thinness was about sex, it would be private issue between a woman and her lover; if it were about health, between a woman and herself… A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but one about obedience.”
~ Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth
(recently on Already Pretty)
