Actually, I woke up in a grumpy mood this morning (been dealing with a injured shoulder and in pain lately) ... and just the idea that the smaller a woman's waist is the more beautiful and valuable she's considered to be, across time and cultures even --- well, that made the bad mood worse.

My apologies.

But no, Bill, I was not trying to cast doubt on the study. Its most likely perfectly valid. In fact, I've been up against these scientifically measurable attitudes all my life, just like everybody else.

I just don't like it.

End of story.
