study on women's body image

[rocketdyke]

this link is to a study on how women view their body image. it focuses on both heterosexual and lesbian women and has questions specified to different sexual orientations. i thought it was worth the time to help with their study, and so im passing it along.

Thank you, Michele! That was a really cool study. I think it's fitting, for us especially, to help fight this fight. As we know, real beauty and love don't always come in a package readily accepted by our society. They need to get with the program, stat!
Peace and love (and soapboxes,)

Willow: "She's like this cleavagey slutbomb walking around going 'Ooh. Check me out, I'm wicked cool. I'm five by five.'"
Tara: "Five by five? Five what by five what?"
Willow: "See, that's the thing. No one knows."

Whew! Well, here I am after spending about an hour on that survey, writing essays in the *tiny* boxes they provided. (no easy feat) I guess I had a lot to say. Thanks for posting the link.

I actually flew through that. Yep, my sex life is that boring, and I have a very healthy self image. The one I did write a ton on was the "do you feel more able to define your own self image in the lesbian community.".

Is anyone going to e-mail for the results?

[rocketdyke]

actually i am going to email her and thank her for the survey, ask about the results, and just ask her about the purpose of the survey and what shes working on in general. anything i hear, i will post here, hows that?

michele

any questions anyone wants to ask her? i could send her one email on behalf of kittens everywhere, so she can answer all at once.

I do wonder how she'll deal with possible skewing of the results by people, well I guess men, taking the test or screwing around or whatever. You know, since it's an internet survey and all.

Hey Michele,
Thanks, that would be really cool. I kinda wonder if the researchers will attempt to make inferences about bisexual women and their body images. I think that would be really interesting. Thanks!
Peace and love,
Holly
