A story printed in the Daily Mail yesterday almost had me in a fit of rage, which is ironic, because it was all about a rage epidemic taking over the "fairer sex" (their term, not mine). New statistics reveal that aggression and physical violence perpetrated by women is at all-time high in the UK. It seems that this trend is particularly newsworthy because rage is considered a masculine emotion, unfit for the ladies.

In news that will surprise absolutely no one, researchers have found that men get so flummoxed when speaking to attractive women — using up most of their cognitive abilities trying to impress them — that they sometimes forget basic personal information like their own addresses!
Research showed that if (presumably straight) men spent even a few minutes with an attractive woman, they didn’t perform as well on tests that measure brain function than they did after speaking to someone they didn’t find attractive. Women didn’t seem to have this reaction in the presence of men they considered handsome.

Pretty much every serious boyfriend I've ever had has been a hidden softie. You'd never know it from the outside, but they tended to be emotionally open when it counted.
Some guys are always emotionally open, though, and like to tell you how they're feeling — a lot.

Have you ever dreamed of a world without men? Some scientists have hoped for years that someday, somehow, they'd create sperm without the mess and fuss of sex and men. Well, that day is near.

Karl Lagerfeld made a prediction years ago that men would be the new women. What he meant by that, in part, is that they, too, will be as worried as women about their looks. Metrosexuality is mainstream now, what with men manscaping, flat ironing, and guy-lining their way into the looks-obsessed world we women have inhabited forever.

When British scientists discovered, to their surprise, that men have a greater risk of cancer than women, they came upon an explanation that has nothing to do with biology: women take better care of themselves.
The new study looked at cancer that afflicts both men and women and found that men were 40 percent more likely than women to die from such cancer and 16 percent more likely to get it in the first place.
Researchers pointed out that men typically put off reporting symptoms to doctors.

Feeling Second Best Bianca wrote in yesterday complaining that her boyfriend's admiration for technology is ruining their relationship, but a new study says that it's girls that actually have the edge in new technologies, not the boys!
According to the findings, 94 percent of girls had laptops at home while only 88 percent of boys did, and 50 percent of the children turned to their mothers for tech help versus 22 percent who turned to their fathers. Study coauthor Professor Karen Pine feels as though, "Mothers are taking the lead" and that they're "also the most experienced and capable computer and Internet users.” So when it comes to your relationship, tell me, are you actually more technologically savvy than your man?
