- In that case, "physiology" must change very rapidly indeed. Even
- a brief study of history will show that there are enormous changes
- in what is considered physically attractive. During the Italian
- Rennaissance, the ideal woman was quite rotund by today's standards.
- In China, up until the beginning of this century, women bound their
- feet to make them appear smaller and more attractive. In the United
- States, just 20 years ago, it was generally accepted that women should
- be soft, rather than the "hard bodies" popular today. Muscles on women
- were considered unattractive.
