Three Quarters of Women Don't Exercise

An Australian report, released to coincide with International Women's Day paints a sobering opinion of the modern Australian woman:

...almost three quarters of the nation's women did little or no exercise...

The report showed the median age of Australian women has increased to 36.9 years in 2003 from 30.8 years in 1983, more than half are not interested in sex and about a quarter won't have children.

The number of women living alone rose to 13 percent in 2003 from 11 percent a decade earlier, while around 43.2 percent of women were now likely to be overweight and 17.4 percent were likely to be obese.

The brief article reports that there are some items of achievement worth celebrating:

But more women than men were studying and women's labor force participation has hit its highest level with 66 percent of all women working.

More study and more work? Is that it? The only things worth celebrating? Quite frankly, these statistics point to Australian women being less healthy and less happy.

Perhaps we can start celebrating (and appreciating) gender differences (and unique gender abilities) rather than lauding the soulless pursuit of so-called 'equality'.
