A Mocreialização da Mulherada

Um fato estilizado, há 60 anos a mulherada tinha cintura fina e quadril largo, hoje elas têm um barrigão maior que o quadril. De gostosinhas delicadas se transformaram em brucutus enfartados. A mulherada está num processo acelerado de mocreialização: most women surveyed about their shapes failed to measure up to their perception of themselves. About 3,000 were asked which fruit or vegetable from a list best described their shape, before providing their waist and hip measurements to researchers.
Some 27 per cent claimed to have a coveted butternut squash figure (small waist, larger hips and bust) while 21 per cent said they had the slightly less iconic pear figure (small waist and bust but larger hips). Only 21 per cent of women said they believed themselves to be the dreaded ‘apple’ shape – plumper around the middle and bust.Yet when the vital statistics were measured, more than half were apple-shaped, and far fewer had a pear or butternut squash figure than they thought. The average hip size for all the women polled was 36in, and the average waist size was 30in.
Experts said this confirmed the previously documented shift away from the classic hourglass figure of the 1950s.
