"And he suggested women to return to wearing traditional waist-cut jeans, or preferably loose dresses. "

Ever heard of ancient Chinese women wrapping their feet their entire life to keep their feet small because smaller feet were considered attractive? Take those wrappings off and the pain was so great that it often crippled them - when their culture stopped wrapping feet.

With this news out, maybe I won't have to suffer another day of seeing fat women wearing pants not designed for them.

I remember being in Jr. High when all the really tight jeans where in style. (Early 90s) Girls were complaining of back problems it was related to tight jeans. Sounds similiar.
