POPSWhat Women Want Is To Be Treated 'Like A Girl"
Would you please tell me what do you think about this?... Since the Danjyo Koyo Kikai Kinto Ho (Equal Employment Opportunity Law) kicked in two decades ago, it's become the norm for women to work as hard and long as men, though not necessarily under the same conditions. Accordingly, money matters between danjyo (men and women) have become a lot more complicated. In cafes and restaurants, ever notice how same-sex groups do this polite little dance in front of the cash register, each insisting on picking up the tab? Well, the same goes for male/female groups, and more often now women will end up paying more, especially if they're single professionals over 30. Men assume they have more income at their disposal (which is true), but have little idea that these women long for the coveted onnanoko atsukai (to be treated like a girl), where a night out means a romantic dinner, a drink at a nice bar afterward, and then okutte morau (be taken home) in a cab all paid for by the man.

POPSMale Circumcision Could this be true?... If the increase in partner infection after circumcision is confirmed, it would mean it could not be endorsed as a prevention strategy without ensuring men and women are fully aware of the need to refrain from intercourse for a month or so until the penile wound has healed, the researchers said. The WHO's Kevin De Cock stressed the need for caution and good preparations: "While male circumcision has extraordinary potential to prevent HIV infection, these new findings remind us that we must proceed with thought and care in developing male circumcision in Africa."

As a woman you already have this hurdle to overcome.” Julie Fasone Holder, a corporate vice president for Dow Chemical, remembers a hallway conversation in the 1980s after she and another woman were promoted. A male executive said to Fasone, “I guess it’s women’s promotion week.” The way he said it, she says, “was I was being promoted because I was a women, not a great leader.”

POPSMen Are Easier To Clone Than Women "The difference in cloning rates of male and female stem cells seems likely to involve epigenetics," said Prof Fuchs. Epigenetic modifications are those that affect a gene's function without altering its DNA sequence. Because one of a female's two X chromosomes (men only have one) is turned off through epigenetic modifications, female cells have to undergo a more complicated epigenetic reprogramming than male ones and this may account for why males are easier to clone.
