message: The german version of this article (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatopygie) claims that steatopygia consists of muscle tissue, not fat.  Is there a reference for the type of tissue involved? 129.27.236.118 19:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Which Type of Tissue?

message: This article contains the following quote:
"However, the type of Neolithic Venus figurines sometimes referred to as "steatopygian Venus" do not strictly qualify as steatopygian, since they exhibit an angle of approximately 120 degrees between the back and the buttocks, while steatopygia strictly speaking is diagnosed at an angle of about 90 degrees only."
Yet, the two pictures provided show women whose so-called back-to-buttock angle is clearly 120 degrees, not 90.  And how could anyone possibly have a 90 degree profusion of fat, especially as they mature, without regular skin stapling or something ridiculous?  I imagine the quoted author's assertion is in error... 132.198.12.94 (talk) 17:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I moved the complete chapter "Evolutionary hypotheses" here. All three sentences are ridiculous. Maybe they correlate to some useful hypothesis, but then the description is grotesquely insufficient:
: Steatopygia is believed to be an adaptive physiological feature for female humans living in hot environments, as it maximizes their bodies' surface-area/volume ratio but keeps enough fat to produce hormones needed for menstruation.
: With fat deposited heavily in only certain areas in the middle on the trunk of the body, the limbs are left slim enough to expel heat more efficiently.
: Another suggestion is that being able to store large fat amounts is important in very seasonal environments like those in African savanna, where during the dry season, a food shortage ensues, and people live largely off of their stored fat.

... the word "diagnosed" is used here, but there's no mention of steatopygia being a disease or harmful medical condition. Is the better word choice "identified"? Or is this a harmful condition? Is it harmful to be so hot?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericaricardo (talk • contribs) 22:07, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The background to the story is that porn was forbidden. But men still had a need to talk about big beautiful buttocks. So you will find women with big buttocks in a foreign nation, far far away. That is all women with Steatopygia i Denmark, at least two in Roskilde.Jesper7 (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

message: ::Among the Khoisan, it begins in infancy and is fully developed by the time of the first pregnancy.[citation needed]
In my opinion this sentence should be cut out, or at least revised.
Firstly it follows on from a statement that men can have steatopygia and is incongruous.  Secondly it seems like a superfluous statement since most body development happens between infancy and puberty (if that's what is meant).  Lastly, and most disturbingly for me it suggests all Khoisan woman are destined for pregnancy and sounds like the author is talking about animals not human beings.

message: The text contains:
”In Victorian England, freak shows were known to have exploited a woman with steatopygia at least once.”
This sentence makes a logically questionable impression to me. Shows (plural) having exploited a woman seems to imply that she was sadly exploited more than once, yet the sentence ends with “at least once”. More logical seems to me to write “at least as many time as these shows were staged”.Redav (talk) 02:23, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
