Marvin wants Lil to exercise for her mental health, but she refuses to be controlled by what she perceives as a 'robot of the patriarchy'. Who has a valid argument?

Marvin wants Lil to exercise for her mental health , but she won’t be told what to do by a ‘robot of the patriarchy’. You decide whose argument is fit for purpose

But I’m not trying to control her in any way, it’s just that I think she needs to leave the house during the day and exercise more. It’s really unhealthy to sit for hours, and I don’t think it’s good for her mental health either. I’ll bring that information up to nudge her to do some exercise, rather than mention anything about her body. Lil knows this, but she makes jokes about me being controlling to get out of exercising. I say she’s coasting on being hot, and tell her that exercise is good for her brain as well as her body, but she won’t listen. We even have a gym in our building, but Lil just won’t go.

I don’t like exercise. That’s just how I am. It’s not like I am unhealthy – I have the healthiest diet ever, with loads of vegetables and nuts, but I don’t feel the need to exercise. It’s something that I know I need to get over, but I have other priorities. I’m the type of person who likes to work from home in complete silence, under a blanket or a duvet. The idea of lifting weights or going for a run in the middle of the day will never excite me.
