इसलिए, हमारी संस्कृति में अधिकांश महिलाओं को आत्म-सम्मान, अपने अधिकारों, अपने पोषण और अपने शरीर को लेकर एक प्रकार की असमंजस की स्थिति रहती है; ईटिंग डिसऑर्डर (खाने से जुड़ी मानसिक बीमारियाँ) को कोई 'अजीब' या अपवाद नहीं माना जाना चाहिए, बल्कि इस संस्कृति में एक महिला होने के अनुभव का यह एक बेहद आम हिस्सा है।
Most women in our culture, then, are disordered when it comes to issues of self-worth, self-entitlement, self-nourishment, and comfort with their own bodies; eating disorders, far from being 'bizarre' and anomalous, are utterly continuous with a dominant element of the experience of being female in this culture.

पुरुषों में ईटिंग डिसऑर्डर के कम मामलों के पीछे जीव विज्ञान (biology) को कारण बताना ऐसा ही है जैसे यह समझाने के लिए आनुवंशिकी (genetics) का सहारा लेना कि धूम्रपान न करने वालों को फेफड़ों का कैंसर धूम्रपान करने वालों जितना क्यों नहीं होता।
Looking to biology to explain the low prevalence of eating disorders among men is like looking to genetics to explain why nonsmokers do not get lung cancer as often as smokers.
