SATURDAY, Nov. 11, 2017 -- America's hang-ups over sexuality and gender could cost women their lives when their heart suddenly stops, a new study suggests.

Simply put, women suffering from cardiac arrest in a public setting are less likely to get lifesaving CPR from a passerby than men are, researchers reported.

"When it comes to life and death, we need to reassure the public that we're not worrying about what seems socially inappropriate or taboo," said senior study author Dr. Benjamin Abella. He is director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Resuscitation Science.

If you do cpr properly often people end up with cracked ribs/sternum.

I am not doing that to a stranger.

I recall a book ...

“How to administer artificial mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation without becoming emotionally involved.”

Perhaps if women quit suing people for everything things would return to normal.

But for different reasons.

Are there any other kind?

Once they succeed in eradicating masculinity with its alleged toxicity, men will have no further need of associating with women. If sex is out, there’s not much to gain.

We’ll see more and more single person homes. I think the rate of occurrence is already around 25%. When I imagine having someone share my home, I also think of how I would have to change the way I live to accommodate them and then I realize my present life is perfect the way it is.

I circumvented the problem accidentally. I married a Chinese woman from Shanghai. She is strongly conservative and not at all bitchy. She prides her US citizenship as much as life itself. She packs a .45 ACP because everything in the Bill of Rights suits her just fine.

Congrats. But the direction society in the US is going is for males to be terrified of females whatever the nationality. Pajama Boy can do nothing but emote, and no non-dominatrix wants that crap for long.

A black giving a white CPR would be to empty the victim’s pockets, take a selfie, then leave.
