Neither Puffy Female Nor a Doctor Be

A lot of research vexing about body image seems to be getting air time. Some findings have revealed that more men are worrying about their appearance from 'man boobs to tums' -- but the tax payer has also funded some contra revelations: 'until young girls get more esteem we won't have any female doctors for the future' with the additional back up fact that women no longer need to be judged on puffy criteria

A lot of research vexing about body image seems to be getting air time. Some findings have revealed that more men are worrying about their appearance from 'man boobs to tums' - http://bit.ly/z1EtUT- but the tax payer has also funded some contra revelations: 'until young girls get more esteem we won't have any female doctors for the future' with the additional back up fact that women no longer need to be judged on puffy criteria http://ind.pn/Hah3X2

Or, put more adroitly 'men are vain - and most young women want to aspire higher than maths GSCE without being accused of being puffy'.

And this same anomaly of the sexes was never more apparent than the other night at the Chortle Awards.

Here I am wearing the same old servicable and entirely asexual bus driver black jacket for external and public function wear on a budget.

Chortle spawned one female and deserved winner (Susan Calman) who, while refreshingly flouting female adornment without appearing as a shepherdess - remained uniquely female on the night - since no other lady took home the coveted Chortle ashtray of a prize...

Yes I'm older and wizened but it's still a surprise that we ladies are not more developed at the coal face - and I'm not talking about botox, hair dye or bra enhancers that don't pinch.

And anyhow - how would I know they pinch? That's not a contra-indicator of a feminist statement - it's a soft joke. Sorry to be confident enough to risk one. Bless.
