The fairer sex may have all but abandoned the struggle for
equality, for a new survey suggests that most men want a traditional wife and
women are often only too happy to oblige. A British research from the Yorkshire
Building Society showed that many females are making conventional choices by
eschewing the sexual revolution plank of feminism in favour of more traditional
values. Infact, the poll among more than 1,500 adults resembled a manual to
happy married life from the 1950s. The survey suggested that most women desire
a "retrosexual" man, who are more hunter gatherer than a
"metrosexual" stay-at-home father. It found that women are increasingly
reluctant to opt for a career because they feel "looking after their
family or home" was more important. On attributes 'most valued' in a
spouse or partner, men put 'taking care of the home', on top of the list
followed by cooking, cleaning and great parenting. The research found many
women making equally conventional choices. Nearly 40 per cent said
"financial stability" is one of the most important qualities in their
husband. "A lot of women used to think they wanted a metrosexual man. But
then they realised they were fed up with a man who spent longer in the bathroom
than they did," Tanya Jackson, corporate affairs manager at the building
society, was quoted as saying by the Mail online today. "Many women now
feel they actually want a hunter-gatherer and they will look after their man in
return," Jackson stressed.
Difficulty or inability to write a coherent text message, even in people who have no problem speaking, may become a "vital" tool in diagnosing a type of crippling stroke, according to a new research. Scientists at Henry Ford Hospital focused on a 40-year-old man visiting the metro Detroit area on business who showed signs of "dystextia," a recently coined term for incoherent text messaging that can sometimes be confused with autocorrect garble. But in his case, the man saw nothing wrong with the garble. The patient had no problem with a routine bedside test of his language abilities - including fluency of speech, reading, writing, comprehension and other factors. However, when asked to type a simple text message, he not only produced garble, but he was unable to see it as such. Despite showing only slight facial asymmetry and no other symptoms, doctors determined the man had suffered an acute ischemic stroke, in which a clot or other blockage cuts off blood supply t...
