I can say from personal observational experience that people are getting fatter, compared to the 1980s. Male or female. Simply singling out one gender as getting, allegedly, fatter is suggestive that you have a problem with that gender.
I would suggest that you have a look around at the people in shopping centres or in public in general. I would say that the proportion of people who are overweight or obese has fallen since the 2000s. Still fatter than what we saw in the 1980s. But, probably fitter than what we saw in the 2000s.
I know of women who play hockey, soccer, basketball, waterskiing, cricket, rugby league. One of them happen to be my daughter who plays a number of sports. The number of women 18 years and above of age who are overweight or obese seem to be in declining numbers.
Dare I say it. I think women in Australia are getting fitter.

More than four in 10 American women are now classified as obese in an alarming new milestone for the nation.
Obesity rates for men and women in the US had been roughly the same for about a decade. But in recent years, women have surged ahead and now just
over 40% of women are obese, compared to 35% of men.
