1 . Stella magazine asked YouGov, a research center, to interview over 1,000 women in Britain about everything from their eating habits to their relationships and family values, to find out what they really think. Here are some of the results.

Eighty percent of women say that losing their health is their greatest concern (关注点）, followed by putting on weight (52%) and losing their jobs (24%).

And what about the relationships between men and women? Fifty-nine percent think fathers should take more responsibility for their children. These women are also not so pleased with their husbands5 efforts at home: fifty-one percent say they now do over seventy-five percent of the housework.
