Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

FemiLab: Does Middle-aged and Single lead to Bats in the Bellfry?Monday, July 6, 2009 at 10:50 am — admin
 " Living with a partner at midlife is associated with a lower risk for dementia in later life, according to a BMJ study. Researchers examined a cohort of some 1500 Finns at midlife — at average age 50 — and then again about 20 years later. Baseline measurements included the participants' marital status: married or cohabiting; separated or divorced; single; and widowed. Marital status was determined again at follow-up. Participants with the greatest risk for dementia were carriers of the apolipoprotein E e4 allele who were widowed or divorced both at midlife and again at follow-up. Also at risk were those living without a partner at midlife. An editorialist suggests that targeting unmarried — especially widowed — people and encouraging them "to increase their social engagement" could be easily done in primary care practice." Summary: David G. Fairchild, MD, MPH, FemiSex Note: the APOE4 allele is a gene variant that is associated with higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This gene variant gives higher risk of developing the disorder regardless of marital or partner status. |
