What fresh hell is this ?
I hope the link works,unbelievable,how did they get funding ?
Woman you must have rectovaginal endometriosis because you're as hot as hell

Looking forward to their studies about how hunky and handsome men suffering from prostate cancer are.

The larger breasts and waist-hip ratio is interesting. It could suggest an underlying hormonal or genetic predisposition, which is turn could lead to earlier diagnosis or prevention.

However, they have thrown away the potentially useful info by phrasing it on a sleazy, sexist way. If they had said "mechanism for laying down fat/patterns of fat distribution," instead of "big boobs are attractive," it would have been just fine.

Also, as a scientist, I'd prefer the objective measures of cup size and waist-hip ratio to the subjective attractiveness. The latter is pretty much meaningless.

Given the shifting cultural definitions of attractiveness, I'd say that study was worthless.

What were they trying to do? They must have had some beneficial intention? What were they aiming at?

@OvaHere it was funded by the Milan School of Medicine.

"Attractive" isn't a phenotype, for the love of fuck.

Clear skin, slim, low waist-to-hip ratio, blue eyes, those are phenotypes. What is the scientific value of measuring "attractiveness" instead of measuring the specific characteristics that are deemed attractive in this context? You're only going to lose precision, given that there are a lot of different ways to be attractive and only some of them are correlated with this specific form of endemetriosis. Is it still correlated with blue/green eyes in women of British descent? I'd expect the correlation with attractiveness to go down if the same study was done here (god forbid) given that light coloured eyes aren't a particularly striking feature in this country.

It makes absolutely no sense to do the study this way, it's just some gross doctors on a power trip who are getting off on the fact that they're paid to rate women like fratboys.

cavemum That just cannot be real! Surely not! I mean the whole thing is a joke but that is the cherry on top. Fucking hell!😡

Someone found this response to the study. forbetterscience.com/2019/08/15/undress-the-doctors-will-see-you-now/?fbclid=IwAR1npB7HGv5tP4q20S2z7MfCZDZ_xnp-gSjueAF9WJcErtZm5m518ytOpaE

This sums it up well

Blue eyes =attractive is desperately racist.

I mean just on top of anything else.

What a total shit show.

Hoping 30 years old. Nope 4 or 5.

Measuring vital statistics wtf.

Not telling the women who agreed to be in the study what they were actually measuring (how many of the panel of 4 would do her) well they knew how that would have gone down.

Thanks for that CaveMum

Fucking unbelievable

@wenttoseainasieve

*Women with rectovaginal endometriosis were judged to be more attractive than those in the two control groups. Moreover, they had a leaner silhouette, larger breasts, and an earlier coitarche'

What. The. Fuck. Never mind the debilitating pain, they've got bigger tits!!!*

Don’t forget we’re clearly slags as well.... earlier coitarche... ffs!

Bold fail sorry ^^

I mean, I am not in any way surprised at this.

Women need to remember that men hate us.

Like really, really, fucking hate us.

Sicario - yes. Kitty Winter from Sherlock Holmes came to mind.

On what planet is this okay? And how have they....um, survived? It’s tragic.
