Three very different articles related to women – which i kind of found amusing.

The first is by Maureen Dowd in the NYT , where she quotes a study conducted by 2 psychologists & 2 economists on pre – mating habits of human beings…and they found:

…intelligence ratings were more than twice as important in predicting women’s choices as men’s. It isn’t exactly that smarts were a complete turnoff for men: They preferred women whom they rated as smarter — but only up to a point … It turns out that men avoided women whom they perceived to be smarter than themselves. The same held true for measures of career ambition — a woman could be ambitious, just not more ambitious than the man considering her for a date.

Someone needed to undertake research to figure this out ? That too over two years ??? 🙂

The second is an article from the New Scientist

The “monthly curse” may be anything but: menstrual blood appears to be a rich and easily accessible source of adult stem cells, claim two competing research groups.

Suddenly periods are going to be presented as God(ess)’s gift to mankind — which I suppose that it is 🙂

And the third, a study on feminists 

The news, for the terminally declining population of women who identify as feminists, is good. According to a study by researchers at Rutgers University, New Jersey, the classic New Yorker cartoon of two women discussing relationships in a coffee shop – “sex brought us together but gender drove us apart” – is plain wrong. Feminists are happier in love and better in bed.

Hmmmm……… 🙂
