   4 Men Who Really Need to Stop Talking At Women   
   ROBIN MARTY FEBRUARY 5, 2015 2:30 PM   
   4 Men Who Really Need to Stop Talking At Women   
   It's bad enough repeatedly hearing that despite our best intentions it is   
   nearly impossible for women to have it all. Now, even when we try to be the   
   best mothers, employees, politicians and all-round people that we can, all we   
   hear is how we are doing    
   it wrong.   
      
   So what are the latest awful things that women have allegedly done to harm our   
   children, men and society as whole? Well, just ask these four men. Not only   
   are they willing to give you more than an earful about our shortcomings,   
   they'll explain in detail    
   exactly how we can make the world better. You know, if we just listen to their   
   advice.   
      
   1. Anti-vaxx doc. Did you know that parents who vaccinate their children are   
   poisoning their kids? Oh, I'm sorry, not parents. Mothers. Yes, Arizona's Dr.   
   Jack Wolfson is one of those medical professionals rejecting vaccinating   
   children because they    
   believe that holistic medicine is the best way to stave off preventable,   
   contagious, potentially life-threatening childhood diseases. And if kids are   
   getting injected with "poisons" well, he blames their mothers. "Don't be mad   
   at me for speaking the    
   truth about vaccines," Wolfson said in and interview with reporter at the   
   Washington Post. "Be mad at yourself, because you're, frankly, a bad mother.   
   You didn't ask once about those vaccines. You didn't ask about the chemicals   
   in them. You didn't ask    
   about all the harmful things in those vaccines.... People need to learn the   
   facts."   
      
   In case there was any doubt that he really meant it was the mother's fault,   
   the reporter questioning him was a man.   
      
   2. Rand Paul. Speaking of vaccines, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul thinks they are   
   okay as long as parents can reject them because...freedom. But he's less   
   impressed by lady journalists he feels are interviewing him without the proper   
   amount of respect,    
   impartiality and reverence for the studies he cites. As such, he was forced to   
   literally shush a female reporter at CNBC for not agreeing with his   
   statements. "Calm down a bit here, Kelly. Let me answer the question," he says   
   at one point, making a    
   shushing gesture at her, and later tells her, "...if we do this again, you   
   need to start out with a little more objectivity going into the interview."   
      
   3. That political pundit afraid of Hillary Clinton. It takes a brave man to   
   write a scathing op-ed criticizing former Secretary of State and potential   
   Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. After all, Clinton is so   
   utterly terrifying that her    
   mere existence is frightening men out of running for president, and according   
   to Ross Baker that's a tragedy.   
      
   "Democrats do have a gender problem -- but it's not in the electorate, but at   
   the party leadership level where two women have assumed dominant positions and   
   have scared off serious male challengers," opines Baker. "Take Hillary Clinton   
   and Rep. Nancy    
   Pelosi. Both are towering and intimidating figures, who have sucked the oxygen   
   out of the spheres they dominate." Ross considers this a huge problem for the   
   party because how are men supposed to run now? "True, [Democrats] have   
   successfully promoted the    
   candidacies of women, championed issues that appealed to women, and generally   
   been rewarded with their support. But the very elevation of these   
   extraordinary women has placed male Democrats in the position of being   
   unwilling to challenge them."   
      
   4. The Fox guy who is afraid of the "Frozen" movie. If Hillary Clinton is   
   terrifying, well, the Disney hit "Frozen" is downright emasculating. Yes,   
   emasculating. That's what Fox news commentator Steve Doocy said on a recent   
   episode of Fox and Friends.   
      
   Chatting with Penny Yance of Concerned Women for America, Doocy and Yance   
   bemoaned the upcoming sequel, which, by virtue of having two women as   
   heroines, makes men look like sidekicks or enemies. "Doocy specifically   
   fretted that 'Frozen Fever,' the    
   upcoming sequel to Disney's 2013 animated hit 'Frozen,' would 'depict men as   
   evil and cold and bumblers,'" reports Talking Points Memo. "His guest, Penny   
   Young Nance of Concerned Women for America, agreed. 'It's not just Disney,'   
   she said. 'Hollywood in    
   general has often sent the message that men are superfluous, that they're   
   stupid, that they're in the way, and if they contribute anything to a family,   
   it's a paycheck....We want them to know that they're essential. We want to   
   encourage masculinity and    
   not villainize masculinity.'"

   The Dangerous Dementia Symptom That Isn't Memory Loss

   The Dangerous Dementia Symptom That Isn't Memory Loss   
   When most people think about the first signs of dementia, memory loss is often   
   top of mind. While it's true that trouble with short term memory is a hallmark   
   of Alzheimer's--the most common form of dementia--other categories of chronic   
   cognitive    
   impairment (e.g. Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, etc.) have different   
   symptoms.   
      
   In fact, a new study from the University of California, San Francisco,   
   Department of Neurology found an intriguing link between delinquent behavior   
   and certain types of dementia.   
      
   It's no secret that out-of-character behavior is one of the primary indicators   
   of most forms of dementia. But a recent analysis of nearly 2,400 dementia   
   patients revealed that criminal acts such as theft, trespassing, public   
   urination and sexual advances    
   were more common among individuals who were in the initial stages of the   
   behavioral variant form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).   
      
   People with FTD tend to experience the first symptoms of their condition   
   earlier than those with Alzheimer's. In fact, about 60 percent of people with   
   FTD are between the ages of 45 and 64, according to the National Institutes of   
   Health (NIH), making it    
   about as prevalent as Alzheimer's among people under 65.   
      
   What is FTD?   
      
   As its name suggests, FTD is a degenerative disease that affects the frontal   
   and temporal lobes of the brain.
