You are right, this cartoon is 100% false. If you don't exercise but continue to eat like a pig, you will get fat, simple as that. Girls don't seem to like hearing that though.

Dude, be careful what you say; most of funsubstance users are female and don't respond well to rational, scientific thinking.

So are men, dumbass. Your statement is too simplistic and reductionist. However women are designed to store fat in different areas (breasts and hips) and on average have a higher body fat percentage than men (24% vs 15% on average), but that is no excuse for a woman to exceed that 24% fat composition. It is also not unhealthy for women to go below 24% fat and even as low as 10% (before they experience hormonal changes). Just look at most female track athletes, they are perfectly healthy being 12-16% body fat. So don't use "evolution" as a reason to gorge yourself on nutella and become overweight or obese, that's not cool.

This is so incredibly inaccurate it hurts. Especially as a science degree graduate. If a woman gets fat, she blames her "metabolism" (which doesn't really mean anything by the way), when it was really her fault for not using the calories she ingested. Men on average do more physical activity and therefore have a legitimate reason to consume more calories since they will be burned off to fuel the muscles; women however seem to gorge themselves, don't exercise and then blame society for making them eat an entire chocolate cake.
