FLASH Question : Why do so many
young women adjust their voices to sound raspy,
whiney, and similar to a young
girl ?
I haven't noticed this phenomenon. I have noticed this
and can't figure it out.
50 million may have "Hurried Woman Syndrome"
Rosalie Moscoe, a professional speaker and
consultant, lectures in an attempt to empower corporate groups of women. They are
often busily working, rushing children to school, preparing dinner, and trying to find
time for such things as shopping and a social life. These women could be under
stress and may suffer from the recently uncovered medical condition, "The Hurried
Woman Syndrome."
Texas-based obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Brent Bost
describes the illness in his book The Hurried Woman Syndrome , stating that 50
million women are infected in "epidemic proportions." He bases his estimate on
surveys he conducted with other doctors.
I believe this is a valid syndrome
I believe this
is just about their inability to organize their time
I believe it
is a result of being unhappy in a personal relationship

17.
Highway driving statistics since 1975 show:
Women are very stressed out
Right-wing male conspiracy
Women's driving habits have worsened
Women
try to drive like tough guys, but don't have the strength & reflexes for it
18. Recently a
psychologist expressed her belief that "Today's women reflexively assert
themselves. They assert themselves in all situations from driving to business to

judge when not to assert." Do you agree with this observation and analysis?
Yes,
I agree

33. Dear
Ladies & Gentlemen: As observers of why and
where Western Civilization is going, please consider the following points.
A.) Why are so many women fascinated with low class behavior
of other women?
B.) Why are so many women at war with men? (For
example, while driving, on the job, etc.)
C.) What do these women -- who approve of low class behavior
of other women who are at war with men -- expect our culture to evolve into?
D.) Can you imagine what daily life will be after another
five or so years of this mean-spirited, low class, high stress war that so many women are
waging against men?
E.) What might Western Culture devolve into if all men were
to become effeminate weaklings similar to what we see in many males today?
F.) If men are weakened and emasculated, who will
conceptualize, invent, develop and implement science, philosophy, politics, the arts, and
so much more that is Western Civilization? ...And, who will fight the War Against
Terrorism to protect the rights and privileges of women and children? Or are burqas
really comfortable?
Thanks for considering and evaluating.
I need to add:
June 4, 2003:
Dateline Our Culture: Martha Stewart, whose experience includes working as a stock
broker, mom, daughter, homemaker extraordinaire, corporate mogul, cultural icon, media
expert, billionaire, Domestic Design Diva, was indicted on several counts which are based
upon her having lied to the SEC, FBI, and investors & using news she learned in
advance of the public to sell stock. She panicked at some bad news about a biotech
company and instantly sold before the news was made public and illegally sold her stock
saving her $40,000. What aspect of this phenomenon do you find most ridiculous? (Select
any one or more of the following.)
She only lied as
everyone else does & should be set free.
She should be held accountable.
Even though she used private info, it's
OK.
Martha thinks she is more special
than she is.
For a $40,000 savings
& lying she damaged her empire.
If Martha does it, I want to do it. Photo courtesy ©USAToday
34. I exercise on a
regular schedule.
Agree Disagree
35. When people
exercise, proteins, enzymes, and other chemicals
are created in excess, released into the
blood, and flow through the brain. Researchers are
only beginning to admit to the potential adverse impacts of myriads
of unnatural chemical interactions. Long-term, frequent and excessive flow of these
chemicals through the brain is instrumental in causing Alzheimer's disease.
Agree
Disagree
Wow, I never
thought of that, but maybe I'll exercise a little less
36. First Female Elected
Leader of House Minority (minority party, not minority gender)
Nancy Pelosi was elected leader of the Democrat party members
in the U.S. House of Representatives. Have you ever seen her without that constant
grin?
Yes No Do you mean that
pasted-on grin? I
wonder how she always finds something to grin about
