The nude images of Kim Kardashian on Paper Magazine with the headline ‘Break the Internet Kim Kardashian’ have sparked off debates as to how far a woman should be allowed to expose her body to the world through public media. Many bashed her for objectifying the female body. There was also a clique who praised her bravery saying that she reserves the right to express herself. I am sure, a lot of men must have spent a good percentage of their time trawling the images online. Kim’s greatest assets, her gourd-like posterior, have kept her fame at an all-time high in recent months. The science of beauty Men, even the ones who sneer at her ‘wretched’ ways, may not be that condescending when in private (with Kim on their laptop).
Why do men seem so fascinated by round and firm female behinds? Could it be because it is nature’s trap to profile through populations; a form of natural selection to give preference to ‘superior’ offsprings? A team of evolutionary scientists from New Zealand have suggested that male attraction to a large female bottom is due to an ingrained preference for women with a small ‘waist to hip ratio.’ The smaller the waist in relation to the hip, the more attractive a woman appears to a man. Previously documented research has found women with small waists and big hips have higher levels of fertility compared to everybody else. Good fertility There is some amount of truth in this. According to Dr John Ong’ech of KNH, a certain amount of fat in the body of a woman is required to elevate her fertility levels. The fat prepares her body to carry the growing foetus until nine months are over. It plays a protective role to the baby as long as it is inside the womb. However, Ong’ech adds that the amount of good fat for pregnancy cannot be measured on the scales of beauty. “What is paramount is if the woman is healthy enough to carry the baby,” says Ong’ech.
