BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Young men's attitudes to women; Plus-size exercise kit; Ellen White and the female charismatics

Young men's attitudes to women, plus-size exercise, and women who have founded religions.

Young men's attitudes to women, plus-size exercise kits, and women who have founded religions. Presented by Sheila McClennon.

As women in their thirties as well as their twenties now out earn men, what does the new generation of men really think about living with alpha women? Join Sheila McClennon and her male guests to hear what they have to say.

For many of us our New Year's resolution will probably be the same as it was last year....to get fit and do more exercise. And this probably means a trip to a sportswear retailer, but what if you're not the average size woman? When you get to the larger sizes there seems to be very little on offer. With growing concern about obesity, and more people encouraged to do exercise why isn't more sportswear aimed at larger women?

With nearly 18 million followers, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is one of a number founded by a woman. Ellen White, had visions upon which the church's teachings are based. These include a number of health messages forbidding followers to smoke tobacco or drink alcohol whilst also encouraging them to avoid meat and salt. Her writings are still adhered to today, and in Adventist communities in America, followers of the religion have been proven to live longer than the average American. Sheila discovers more about Ellen White and other notable female charismatics.
