Australian Women Increasingly “Anxious & Distressed”
If you read the Australian media every day you would think women in Australia just have it bad:
NINE out of 10 Australian women have regular “fat days” and most are miserable about their bodies, a survey has found.
The survey, conducted by two Melbourne universities, paints a bleak picture of women who don’t like seeing their reflection in the mirror.
More than two-thirds of the women surveyed felt uncomfortable looking at themselves naked in the shower.
Almost half felt fat every single day and spent each day desperately wanting to lose weight.
About a third of women surveyed were trapped in a “vicious cycle” of repeatedly checking their tummy, thighs and bottom to see how much they could allow themselves to eat.
This made them feel anxious and distressed, according to the survey’s principal investigator Adrian Schembri.
Only one woman in 10 was not at all dissatisfied with their weight.
“Australian women have high levels of dissatisfaction with their body shape and weight,” Mr Schembri concluded.
He warned that a disturbing number of women were at risk of an eating disorder.
The online survey is being conducted by RMIT and La Trobe University and is still open.

I guess this may also explain why Australian women are considered rude and without manners.

No wonder when you have cretins calling you a fat bitch every time you have an altercation with them. Australian women have experienced high levels of sexual assault in their youth and if you look at any dating site, the men want much younger women. We have a problem here. Feminist sexual and gay revolution gone wrong.
