- I hope I am misinterpreting this. Do you really believe that
- body shape has anything to do with personality, brains, or
- personal worth??? If so, shame on you. This is the kind of
- attitude that causes women to become anorexic/bulemic. I fit this
- measurement list almost perfectly. I am also a very active woman,
- a geophysicist, a feminist, and I doubt very many people would call
- me a "foo-foo creature". Please. What an offensive remark.
-
- Please, correct me if I misinterpreted you.
