NEW STUDY “BLACK WOMEN ARE FAT & HAPPY”

While they tend to be heavier than white women, a new study by the Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation discovered they’re significantly happier with their bodies.
While only 41% of average-sized or thin white women report having high self-esteem, 66% of overweight or obese black women feel the same, the study found. Observers says that black females are particularly adept at shrugging off social expectations that don’t fit what they want for themselves. While 90% of black women surveyed said living a healthy lifestyle is important to them, that doesn’t mean being tiny. “That’s not what I grew up seeing. It’s not about trying to identify with somebody else,” said a medical technologist working out in a DC-area gym.
Historically, research shows that self-esteem for “black girls and women has always been the highest among all groups,” says Princeton Professor Imani Perry. “It’s a powerful statement about our resilience.” A 2008 study showed women subjects images of an “ideal” tall, thin, white woman’s physique. White women felt badly about themselves afterward, but black women weren’t affected.
Black women “are just not comparing themselves to these white models,” said the researcher. Identifying with thinner role models may change as more women like Beyonce and Rihanna fill mass media images, but ideas of beauty for black women will likely tend to remain “more elastic,” enforced by “positive” phrases for larger women like “full-figured” and “healthy,” say observers.
That doesn’t mean obesity is a good thing. “We’re not saying it’s super fly to be super fat. We’ve never said that,” says New York writer Michaela Angela Davis. But, she adds, unlike in white culture, “black women are not criminalized for it.”
So what do you think, are black women TRULY happy being overweight?

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR GUYS IS READY FOR TESTS

The male contraceptive pill is ready for testing but will men take it? Will women believe men are taking it?
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the male contraceptive pill may be only a decade away.
Researchers at the University of Kansas are so confident about their male contraceptive pill that they’re ready to seek FDA approval to test it on humans. So far their compound has proven safe in rats, rabbits, mice, and monkeys. “It’s 100% effective and 100% reversible,” says biologists.
The chemical compound H2-gamendazole, stops sperm from growing in the testicles.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL YOU TAKE IT MEN? WILL YOU TRUST THEM “TO” TAKE IT WOMEN?
