Ladies and Gentlemen, we have more in common than you want to admit. One of the last bastions of femininity has been invaded by our male counterparts, and quite honestly, I say, let them have it!
I'm talking about insecurity over body issues. Image, weight, size, the works. A new study found that men are increasingly willing to admit their issues, and women have the issues we've nursed for generations. But here's the kicker - these same people were just fine with their partner's body - you know..the same one causing him or her to have those same issues!
Before I go any farther, here's the nuts and bolts. This wasn't some survey of teenagers or college students. It was an unscientific study of more than 50,000 adults who filled out a survey online. 98 percent of them filled it out at the MSNBC website. The average age? between 33 and 36. Given what we know abot online news consumers, we're talking about a relatively educated crowd who are still rather young.
I won't bore you with the rest of the details - I'm a stats and studies person...I like this stuff - but it's an interesting read, especially for those of you who think we women are alone in this battle against our own minds.
