The feminine facts...


We think we are civilised and women are equal to men. We think we are educated and we have no gender based biases, no crime against women.. Really!!! Then how do we explain the follwing:

  • Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice

  • One woman is beaten by her husband or partner every 15 seconds in the United States. (Uniform Crime Reports, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1991).

  • Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the United States, more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.

  • Women make only 77.5 cents for every dollar that men earn.

  • The more education a woman has, the greater the disparity in her wages.

  • Women may work longer to receive the promotions that provide access to higher pay.

  • Women account for 46% of the labor force, but 59% of workers making less than $8 an hour.

  • Only 53% of employers provide at least some replacement pay during periods of maternity leave.

  • Four in ten businesses worldwide have no women in senior management.

  • Women earned less than men in 99% of all occupations.

  • According to a University of Michigan study, a husband added into your home life creates an extra seven hours of housework a week. From a man’s viewpoint, however, having a wife saves men about an hour of housework a week.

    Hence this section is dedicated to empower you with information about important contributions women have made in the development of the human race. Come fill up the holes in human history along with us



    Here are our next set of questions:



  • How did the abstract concept of counting came about in human history (hint: What does moon rythm actually mean?)

  • They say necessasity is mother of invention. What were the necessities responsible for the invention of clothing?

  • What type of tools were the earliest to be discovered?

    Hint: visit our blog and you will find a post on this. Try finding the answers yourself from the web or our blog or wait for our next issue next week....





    And here are answers to the questions we have posed before:



  • All ethnic races have their own known earliest known ancestor? True/false

    ANSWER False. Scientists now calculate that all living humans are related to a single woman who lived roughly 200,000 years ago in Africa, a "mitochondrial Eve"

  • Our Earliest known ancestor was (matrilineal / patrilineal)?

    ANSWER Matrilineal, the woman mentioned in 1. above. Does not mean that she was the only women alive, it just means that hers were the children who survived..

  • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in every living person is directly descended without recombination from (mothers/fathers)?

    ANSWER Mothers... Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is passed down intact from mother to child hence enables scientists and archeologists to trace our ancestory.

    The dating for 'Eve' was a blow to the multiregional hypothesis, and a boost to the hypothesis that modern humans originated relatively recently in Africa and spread from there.

    Just think what that makes us all !!! Just proves that we are all born of the same mother...





  • Our earliest known ancestors were... (you can choose more than one)...

    1. Hunters 2. Gatherers 3. Scavengers

    ANSWER Our earliest known ancestors were gatherers and Scavengers. Hunting was discovered later on. Even after hunting, only 20% of food came from it, rest 80% came from scvanging and gathering, and women were the authorities in both. They needed to identify edibly from inedible among thousands of plant varieties..

  • What was the major evolution step which allowed our species to multiply more and hence survive?

    ANSWER The evolution of women's reproductive system, so that a child could be conceived any time of the year , allowed 12 chances in an year for new baby to be formed. Our closest relatives, Chimpanzees struggle for existence, because they can conceive only once in 5 yeras...

  • For human brains to be big, a ............. ............. had to evolve first to be bigger.

    ANSWER

    For human brains to be big, a mother's Pelvis had to evolve first to be bigger.



    Hence the evolution of "Men" had to be preceeded by a "Women's"...
