    No way this is real. But whoever wrote it actually has a pretty decent sense of humor, as evidenced by his remark about Soho. Either that, or he's really an investment banker and he just has no fucking clue.

    I happen to be a judgmental shrew, a nagging feminist, and a rotund lady in her middle years. All of which are clearly serving as a magical layer of protection against assholes.

    @WaterTart: I read somewhere that simply by stimulating the nipple in a sucking manner for a few weeks, you can induce lactation without pregnancy. It was mentioned as a way for a woman who is adopting to be able to breast feed.


    Seems a bit ooky to me, but who am I to judge?

    Ah, also a Canadian study from about a decade ago indicated a direct relationship between the male (involuntary) unemployment rate and domestic violence, which was so depressing it drove me out of business journalism for awhile. I'd been in too many self-employment networking meetings with too much seething rage under those pressed white shirts.

    The first comment by boxer359 on that site better be sarcasm.


    "Women just cannot see that it is not the same thing for them to lose a job as a man.They have other outlets like other women to commiserate with ,they can have children ,they can be out of work for years without snide remarks from the local populace."

    The New York Times Sunday Magazine did a story a few years ago that made virtually the same statement so I wouldn't be too sure about the sarcasm.

    This seems like a weak thesis. It's just another case of the media trying to lead society around by the nose with some ill-defined trend-story tripe. "Studies show" or "history shows" doesn't work when you don't have credible data and can't contextualize "history" with today's social changes. For example, hasn't the internet been a powerful corrective force for behavior and debate? After all, we didn't take to the streets over Iraq - we took to the computers. How does that alter the course of "history" this time? How about being predictive and analytical instead of lazy and reactionary?

    @ADismalScience: Also, rather interesting that a major magazine would go all "history shows" on us in the middle of a financial crisis being blamed, at least in part, on mathematical models that ran on the same logic and failed.

    @RoosiDesi:


    Actually, super interesting Wired article you should check out. One of the leading analytical models for pricing CDO's and related securities omitted historical data because covariance between arcane trend data was too difficult to research. Building the legit model took too long, so Wall Street relied heavily on copula functions to shortcut the larger, clunkier models.
