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.'"              Photo credit: CNBC video screen grab.              Disclaimer: The views expressed above are solely those of the author and may       not reflect those of              Care2, Inc., its employees or advertisers.              Promoted Content by Taboola YOU MAY ENJOY       RELATED       COMMENT       SHARE       The Dangerous Dementia Symptom That Isn't Memory Loss       AGINGCARE.COM FEBRUARY 5, 2015 2:30 PM       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.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
