A little cooperation here

Yet more research money spent on questions they could have just asked me. I suppose it's being a small difference s why they felt they needed a study. I'm annoyed enough by the lower level of cooperation in all-female groups to notice it. Source: http://www.bakadesuyo.com/are-men-or-women-more-cooperative

Another One Bites the Dust - Women and Shopping

Nope. Most women are Not shopping fanatics. Thin women like shopping, the average for the rest is ambivalence. This doesn't surprise me. I know lots of women who despise shopping and get very colorful vocabularies when the topic comes up.

Fascinating Read: The Masculinity Conspiracy

From the about page:

"The Masculinity Conspiracy is a free online book about masculinity. It argues that nearly every assumption about masculinity in contemporary society is wrong. The result is nothing short of exposing a worldwide conspiracy that has been preventing humanity from reaching its fullest potential."

Venting Feeds the Flames

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. Mostly what people call 'venting' is really repeating a story and deepening the emotional grooves it inspired.
