Waist ratios

Here is a recent, teachable article. Evolutionary psychology as a discipline is bad enough, but reportage of ev psych reports tend to make matters even worse. The head line is “For two thousand years men have written about ladies with small waists”:http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=8516458. “This is not proof,” the article cautions — but don’t worry, it does tend to suggest that all of your preconceptions of gender relations are true. What a relief!
