A new British film, Powder Room, released next month, features an all-female five-piece rock band, Fake Club. Which, if you watched a lot of editions of Top of the Pops in the 1970s, is nice. Back then, though female singers existed, no women actually played musical instruments, apart from Suzi Quatro. Though lots of the men had long hair, or wore makeup, presumably in compensation.
That, however, is not the only respect in which Powder Room is notable, gender-wise. It's being described as the British Bridesmaids, since it's a comedy about and for women. But, unlike Bridesmaids, it has no male lead characters – just a couple of tiny walk-on parts. This is not surprising, bearing in mind that nearly all of the action is set in the ladies loo of a nightclub. Yet, at the same time, it's surprising, if not unique. If a feature film with a higher female-to-male on-camera ratio has ever been made, then I'd like to know what it is.
Does it matter, mere critical mass of female presence, regardless of whether the film is any good or not? It most certainly does. A film that barely features a woman at all – Reservoir Dogs, say – isn't remarkable for that fact. One doesn't even notice. But a film that's all about women, well, that's both a marker of how far we have come in the last 50 years or so, and also marker of how very far we have yet to go.
As it happens, Powder Room, by first-time director MJ Delaney, is a good and interesting film, with some caveats. It's a low-budget film, so its necessarily limited. It's based on a play, When Women Wee, by Rachel Hirons, and it shows – it has the feel of a filmed play, not a movie. While the club-lavvy set-up is a solid device, it's hard to believe that the disparate women who feature really would all find themselves on a night out at the same place. But, hey, they do. An excellent cast, including Sheridan Smith, Jamie Winstone and Kate Nash, has the acting ability to smooth out a lot of the film's shortcomings.
The central character is Sam, played by Smith, who meets up at this unlikely venue with a college friend she hasn't been in contact with for a long time. The friend has been living in Paris for some years, where she enjoys a successful career running a fashion website with her sophisticated and beautiful French friend (whom she has somewhat inexplicably chosen to bring to this colourful dive back in the UK). She's about to get married to some marvellous guy who adores her. Sam feels so intimidated by these women, and so inadequate, that she fictitiously claims that she's now working as a lawyer, and about to move in with a lovely boyfriend.
The discomfort of the lies is made even worse when Sam's usual crowd, led by Jamie Winstone's Chanel, all turn up. Sam feels compelled to spend the entire evening making sure that the snotty fashionistas don't get wind of the fact that she even knows the rowdy and attention-seeking group of sensation-hungry hedonists that the pair have decided make such hilariously appalling entertainment.
A great strength of the film is that Sam, in her idle boasts and denial of the women she relies on for friendship, doesn't come across as a shallow hypocrite. She's unhappy and vulnerable, dissatisfied with her life, depressed, desperate for change yet unable to make it – like a lot of people. She's dissastisfied with her friends as well. The cliche is that women are great because they're such supportive mates to each other. In Powder Room, female friendships are portrayed as much more contingent. These women are clinging to each other because each other is the best they can do. Much as Sam despises the pretentious Paris girls, it's their approval and friendship that she craves.
One of the problems that arises out of the paucity of material focused on women and their lives is that when something like Powder Room does come along, the temptation is to see it as universal, a comment on what all women's lives are like, not just a narrative about one bunch of people in a certain place at a certain time. Which, of course, it is. No one, after all, ever started declaring that Reservoir Dogs was really a film about what it is to be a man.
Yet, the portrayal of femininity in Powder Room, humorous and outrageous as it is meant to be, is also disturbing. It will certainly offer comfort to those who like to promote moral panic. The drinking, the drug-taking, the pursuit of uber-casual sex, the Miley Cyrus-style twerking, the petty theft and violence that forms the backdrop of the film speaks of what used to be discussed as "ladette culture" – the idea that feminism has liberated women to behave just as badly as the ghastly lads whose seedy magazines are currently being driven off the shelves of All Good Bookshops.
Powder Room seems to suggest that such behaviour is inspired by feelings of unhappiness, inadequacy and emptiness, which few feminists would altogether deny might motivate men who behave in the same way. Yet, when pictures of half-dressed, vomiting girls appear in the tabloids, the liberal response is to suggest that this is a nasty strategy that seeks to demonise modern women.
Jarvis Cocker, in his celebrated song with Pulp, Common People, described men and women whose lives "slide out of view, who dance and drink and screw, because there's nothing else to do". That observation struck a chord with a lot of people, and Powder Room brought it to the forefront of my mind again. The idea of living for Saturday night, to let off stream and discard inhibitions is well understood. But that desperation is not confined to the unsuccessful. You only have to witness oligarchs in Ibiza throwing parties to buy glamorous guests, or money-men in lapdancing clubs in the City of London, to see that it's a lifestye choice lots of people make.
In Powder Room, everyone is desperately trying to have a good time. They've all come to a place designed expressly for the purpose. But none of them succeed – quite the contrary. Everyone is having a miserable time, and doing their best to keep that a secret from everyone else. The odd, rather terrific thing is that even though – or perhaps because – the film is all about women, it becomes much more about people than a film doing the more usual thing of looking at the relationships between the sexes could ever manage.
What's great is that Powder Room has emotional truth. One suspects that it would be more fun to go to the film with a crowd of friends, then talk about it, than it would be to go to the nightclub. My suspicion is that if there was a great deal more material like this – that looks hard and honestly at what it's like to be a woman in this world and this culture at this time, then we'd also gain a great deal more understanding of what it is to be a human in this world.
That, however, is not the only respect in which Powder Room is notable, gender-wise. It's being described as the British Bridesmaids, since it's a comedy about and for women.

If we've learned anything from science class, it's that nature is constantly trying to kill us. No matter how hard it tries though, it will never take down these animals.
Can survive: Crippling pressure, lack of oxygen, high temperature.
This species of nematode, only recently discovered in 2011, has been found living up to 2.2 miles below the surface of the Earth. It blew away the previous record for multicellular organisms by a full mile. These worms spend their lives in total darkness, drinking 12,000 year old water and eating simple bacteria.
Can survive: Low pressure, freezing temperatures.
The polar opposite of the devil worm, this spider holds the record for the animal that claims residency at a higher point than any other (4.1 miles above sea level). It’s able to survive long periods without food, freezing temperatures, and a distinct lack of atmospheric pressure. The only sources of nutrition available to the Himlayan jumping spider are the tiny insects that get blown up the mountain by the high winds.
Can survive: The aging process.
These jellyfish have the ability to revert back to their infant stages in adverse conditions, making them effectively immortal. There doesn't seem to be any limit on the number of times that they are able to revert back to their infancy. Unfortunately, they're highly vulnerable to predation and disease every time they live out their immature, smaller stages.
Can survive: Extreme cold.
This insect, which is native to the northern areas of Alaska and Canada, is able to resist temperatures up to -150 degrees Celsius (-238 Fahrenheit) by producing an antifreeze protein that prevents the crystallization of its blood. Its blood is also fortified with glycerol, which further halts freezing.
Can survive: Extreme heat, variance in temperature.
These deep-sea worms live exclusively in thermal vents in the ocean floor. Their tails are in the vents, which achieve temperatures up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Their heads however, poke out of the vents in order for the pompeii worms to capture prey. This results in half of their bodies experiencing temperatures over 100 degrees lower. It's thought that their resistance to heat is due to a coating of specialized bacteria on their bodies, which may provide a large degree of insulation for the worm.
Can survive: Basically anything.
These millimeter long, segmented animals can survive just about everything. Temperatures between just above absolute zero and 300 degrees Fahrenheit are no problem. 1200 times atmospheric pressure? The tardigrade just shrugs it off. It doesn’t really care about dehydration either, seeing as it can go 10 years without water. 1,000 times the lethal dose of radiation for humans is another non-factor. When testing the true extent of the tardigrade's resilience, scientists went so far as to send it to outer space in 2007. The result? Most of the tardigrades that went on the mission came back entirely unscathed. Plus they're kind of weirdly adorable.
The Devil Worm
Can survive: Crippling pressure, lack of oxygen, high temperature.
This species of nematode, only recently discovered in 2011, has been found living up to 2.2 miles below the surface of the Earth. It blew away the previous record for multicellular organisms by a full mile. These worms spend their lives in total darkness, drinking 12,000 year old water and eating simple bacteria.
The Himalayan Jumping Spider
Can survive: Low pressure, freezing temperatures.
The polar opposite of the devil worm, this spider holds the record for the animal that claims residency at a higher point than any other (4.1 miles above sea level). It’s able to survive long periods without food, freezing temperatures, and a distinct lack of atmospheric pressure. The only sources of nutrition available to the Himlayan jumping spider are the tiny insects that get blown up the mountain by the high winds.
The Immortal Jellyfish
Can survive: The aging process.
These jellyfish have the ability to revert back to their infant stages in adverse conditions, making them effectively immortal. There doesn't seem to be any limit on the number of times that they are able to revert back to their infancy. Unfortunately, they're highly vulnerable to predation and disease every time they live out their immature, smaller stages.
The Red Flat Bark Beetle
Can survive: Extreme cold.
This insect, which is native to the northern areas of Alaska and Canada, is able to resist temperatures up to -150 degrees Celsius (-238 Fahrenheit) by producing an antifreeze protein that prevents the crystallization of its blood. Its blood is also fortified with glycerol, which further halts freezing.

The way we combat this modern-day slavery is revolutionary – and surprisingly effective …
OUR APPROACH
We go to the source, into the villages where girls are at risk, and put those girls into school. We counsel them and their families about the dangers of trafficking. By keeping at-risk girls in school and living at home, they are less vulnerable to being sold or lured by promises of jobs, only to find themselves in brothels or trapped as slaves in households. For a small investment – $100 pays for everything: school fees, books, school uniforms, tutoring – we can keep a girl safe for whole year. Persuading families to educate their daughters was slow going at first, but 10,000 girls later – without one being lost – the idea is gaining traction.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
Dr. Aruna Uprety, our visionary partner, went to the brothels in India where more than a hundred thousand Nepali girls are trapped, hoping to convince some to come home. To her great surprise, they told her, “It’s too late for us. If we had known anything, if we had been able to go to school and learn and work, we would never have landed here. Please, keep this from happening to other girls.” The heartbreak of their situation pushed her to focus on prevention – breaking the cycle of trafficking from the start. She pioneered the approach of getting at-risk girls into school, and our partnership with her has saved thousands of young lives.
IT WORKS
In the beginning, it was hard to convince families that sending girls to school was worthwhile. Fifteen years ago we started with 54 girls. This year we have 10,000 in 400 schools across Nepal, and we haven’t lost one girl to trafficking. Not one. Reluctance to send girls to school is dropping away, and whole villages are asking to be included in our work. Educating the most at-risk girls in a village spreads enough knowledge to keep traffickers at bay.
any as 20,000 girls from the poorest parts of Nepal are trafficked – lured by the false promises of traffickers. These girls, some as young as nine, end up in Indian brothels or as domestic servants in countries as far away as the Middle East. In either case, they’re slaves. Many are HIV positive within two years, and dead before they reach twenty.

Women who broke the rules in Nepal
Photojournalist Arantxa Cedillo has worked all over Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. But in 2011 she decided to spend a few years in Nepal. She says it interested her because it's a country in constant political turmoil, as well as "one of the most beautiful corners of the world."
While in Kathmandu, she heard numerous stories of discrimination against women and decided to pursue a project focusing on the strong women who had fought back against entrenched sexism there. The women she profiled were the first to break rules in their fields in Nepal — women who now are powerful representatives of change.
Cedillo's portraits cover a wide range of women, including a former sex slave, an elephant trainer, a swimmer, and the first female pilot in the country. Each photo includes a statement from a woman telling a small part of her personal story.

Maiya Bisunkhe was born without her right hand and had to beg for her living. Today she is a promising sprinter. "I don't remember my mother's face. I had to face many struggles on my own when I was little because my father was sick and my brother small."

Cedillo says that finding women to participate was a challenge at first, but once she got started the project grew organically.
"All the women I photographed were very determined to [tell] their stories and hope to bring some positive change," she says.

1. We evolve hotter.
A recent study revealed that women are getting better looking through evolution; meanwhile, men are staying the same. After following more than 2,000 people through four decades of life, the study showed that attractive women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks and that beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in past generations.
2. We survive car accidents more often.
This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to "Wear your seatbelt!"
3. We're better at seeking comfort.
A Mind survey of 2,000 people revealed that women are far more likely than men to talk through their problems. Fifty-three percent of women talk to their friends about what's stressing them out, as opposed to 29 percent of men.
. We're more recession-proof.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have been men. Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been hit the hardest, like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks...but hey, maybe it's time more men became nurses and educators.
5. We graduate college more often.
We already know that female enrollment is higher than male, but theDepartment of Education's statistics reveal that men are also less likely than women to graduate and get their bachelor's degrees. Men are also more likely to take longer than five years to complete their degree.
6. We eat healthier.
A survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted by the University of Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods than men. While men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat, women are piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we just had to point this one out!
7. We have stronger immune systems.
No wonder men act like such babies when they have a sniffle — women really do have stronger immune systems than men! If there are little battles going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon: estrogen. A study done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women an edge when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses.
8. We live longer.
Among the world's population of those who are over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the New England Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer than men as well.
9. We're better managers, especially in this economy.
This one is a little controversial, but a slew of experts are confident that women make greater bosses because they are better listeners, mentors, problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male counterparts. In a recent Daily News article, management expert Jay Forte said, "It's a very service-oriented economy [right now], so you need employees to be motivated. Women are better connectors than men and more astute about knowing how to activate passion in their employees."
10. We invest better.
A study of 100,000 portfolios showed that women's investment returns outperform men's, 18 percent to 11 percent. This could be because women are typically more cautious with their investment decisions and think longer term.

Is orgasm through mental imagery alone possible? Research into the science of the orgasm has uncovered that it is possible to have orgasms without physical touch. Indeed, they have even found that it is possible to orgasm through non erogenous parts of the body, including the knee and nose!
It is a common experience to have orgasms through dreams, hinting at the possibility that our mind may be the vehicle for orgasms, not the body.
Furthermore, researchers have discovered that it is possible for paralysed people to have orgasms. But how? Are orgasms all in the mind?
This formerly taboo subject in science was explored by Rutgers University when Rutgers University’s Komisaruk and retired Rutgers professor Beverly Whipple decided to test out this theory. Carrying out studies of spinal-cord-injured women, they’ve found evidence of what they believe to be a new orgasmic pathway, one that bypasses the spine completely.
They found that the same brain areas were activated during orgasms experienced by imagery alone- there was no difference between those and actual genital orgasms.
Known commonly as the ‘extragenital’ orgasm, their studies found that pleasure can be obtained through any part of the body or from no physical contact at all. Komisaruk states “Although it sounds strange, the reports are believable. Now, people can show our book to someone who doubts it (The Science of Orgasm), and it can serve as a validation. Time will tell how prevalent non-genital orgasms are”
From their investigation into paralysed woman’s orgasms, it is showing that perhaps what we thought was the cause of orgasms (physical stimulation), may not be the cause at all. Indeed, it could be that harnessing the power of our minds through mental imagery alone may be enough to produce full physical orgasms in both men and women.
They conclude:
“The increases in the self-induced imagery orgasm condition were comparable in magnitude to those in the genital self-stimulation-produced orgasm condition. On this basis we state that physical genital stimulation is evidently not necessary to produce a state that is reported to be an orgasm and that a reassessment of the nature of orgasm is warranted.”

What she says: "Is it in yet?"
What he's saying to himself: This phrase can be taken one of two ways: either you have an incredibly small instrument or she's accustomed to a much bigger piece of equipment. If it's your blue-veined piccolo that's the problem, well, that's showbiz, kid. You work with what you've got. If it's the concert hall, you might want to consider moving to venues that handle smaller bands and don't sell as many tickets.
What she says: "I want to watch you sleep."
What he's saying to himself: Hear that noise? She doesn't own a cuckoo clock. Those are the birds circling her head and warning you this chick is flightier than an airport on a holiday. Watching someone sleep is a step away from making dolls from their hair. Don't fall asleep. You may wake up bald or, worse, in a relationship with this head case.
What she says: "That's it?"
What he's saying to himself: Men and women have different definitions of sex. Men hope that while every romp might not be an Olympic spectacle, they will at least earn an "A" for effort. Having a woman ask if "that's it" is a pin prick to the ego balloon.
What she says: "My ex used to... "
What he's saying to himself: Nothing is a bigger mood-kill than hearing about her ex before, after, and especially during the act of humping and bumping. Sure, her ex might have done a couple of fantastic feats to help her achieve complete sextacy, but he also stole her debit card and buttered her best friend's muffin when she was at work. Remind her of those facts.
What she says: "It's my first time."
What he's saying to himself: It's a common misconception that all men want to be the first to conquer a virgin. This is true up until the age of 18. After that age, men want a woman with a little more experience (to make up for the fact they are still pretty clueless). A virgin in the sack means she will probably be both terrible at sex and emotional before, during, and after.
What she says: "My husband is home!"
What he's saying to himself: If you know she is married, you probably figured this could happen one day. If you assumed she was "single," then this is partly your fault. That's not the issue right now. You've got bigger flounder to fillet. The flounder's name is Steve and judging from the sound of the footsteps he outweighs you by a Buick. Real men don't fight; they use windows to get out of Dodge.
What she says: "Can't you just hold me?"
What he's saying to himself: It doesn't take much for men to get horny. A slight peek of cleavage, a quick rub of her thigh, even a stiff wind in a pair of comfy shorts can get the soldier at attention and ready to enter the war. When a guy is charged up and a woman just wants to cuddle, it's a huge ego and pocket rocket disarmer. Can't she cuddle with one of the hundred stuffed animals in her room?
What she says: "I read in a magazine that men like their anus touched."
What he's saying to himself: Ask to see that magazine. Roll it up, throw it in the garbage can, and burn it. You should tell her that she shouldn't believe everything she reads in magazines and that spot is strictly off limits...unless you are into that stuff.
What she says: "It happens to everyone."
What he's saying to himself: It does happen to everyone. But you don't give a damn about the rest of the world; you only care about the fact that you couldn't get your fun bone to join the party.
What she does: Snoring
What he's saying to himself: Men try to ignore the fact that women are also human and experience all the same nasty side effects of the human body: farting, burping, and especially snoring. A woman who can saw more logs in the sack than her male partner is a huge turn-off. "Oh, sorry babe, did I elbow you by accident? Just trying to get comfy, didn't mean to wake you."

काठमाडौ, एक उच्च सरकारी अधिकारी कार्यालयबाट फर्किएकी आफ्नी श्रीमतीसँग साँझको पहिलो भेटमा भलाकुसारी गर्दैनन्, श्रीमतीको पेन्टी रीक्षणपछि मात्र अन्य काममा हात हाल्छन् । पेन्टी जाँच्नुको कारण भने श्रीमतीले परपुरुषसँग सम्बन्ध राखेको छ वा छैन भन्नेबारे विश्वस्त हुनु हो ।
‘लोग्नेको शंकालु मनोवृत्तिले जीवन नरक बनेको छ,’ ती महिलाले भनिन्, ‘पहिले कुनै पुरुषसँग कुरा गर्दा शंका गर्थे, अब त तैले यौनसम्बन्ध नै राखिसकिस् भनेर तथानाम गर्छन ।’ दुई छोरा-छोरीसहितको सुखी परिवार लोग्नेको शंकालु मनोवृत्तिले नारकीय बनेको उल्लेख गर्दै उनी भन्छिन्, ‘अफिसबाट फर्केपछि पहिले ब्याग चेक गर्थे, मोबाइल रिडाइल गरेर हेर्थे अब त मैले कसैसँग सम्बन्ध राखेको छ कि भनेर पेन्टी हेर्छन् ।’
‘श्रीमतीको चरित्रमा शंका गर्ने यो कडा किसिमको मनोरोगको एउटा रूप हो,’ त्रिवि शिक्षण अस्पताल मानसिक रोग विभागका प्रमुख प्रा.डा. विद्यादेव शर्मा भन्छन्, ‘कोहीसँग बोल्न नदिने, गुप्तचरी गर्नेबाट सुरु हुँदै अन्ततः पेन्टी चेक गर्नेसम्म हुन्छ्न् ।’ उनका अनुसार यो रोग पीडितले अन्नतः पत्नीलाई मार्ने प्रयाससम्म गर्न सक्छन् । उपचारपछि यो रोगलाई नियन्त्रणमा राख्न सकिन्छ ।
चरित्रमाथि शंका गर्ने यो रोगलाई बोलचालमा ‘ओथेलो सिन्ड्रोम’ भनिन्छ । यो शब्द सेक्सपियरको उपन्यास ‘ओथेलो’ बाट आएका हो, जसको एक पात्रले शंकाका कारण आफ्नो प्रेमिकाको हत्या गर्छन् । यो रोग महिला र पुरुष दुवैलाई हुने भए पनि पुरुषमा भने सर्वव्यापी छ । प्रा.डा. शर्मा यो रोग प्रायः रक्सी दुव्यर्सनी पुरुषलाई हुने गरेको बताउँछन् । तर हरेक पुरुषमा यस्तो देखिए मानसिक रोगी नै हुन भन्ने हुँदैन । केही दम्पतीका गतिविधिले आपसमा शंका हुनु जायजसमेत हुने गरेको छ । हरेक रोग प्याथोलोजिकल नहुने उल्लेख गर्दै प्रा.डा.शर्मा भन्छन्, ‘तर अधिकांशमा यो रोगकै लक्षण हुन्छ ।’
जीवनसाथीको चरित्रमा शंका गर्नुपछाडि मानसिक रोग ओथेलो सिन्ड्रोम वा ‘डिल्युजनल डिसअर्डर जेलस’ ले काम गर्छ । महिलाको दाँजोमा पुरुष यो मनोरोगले बढी ग्रसित भए पनि यसमा समेत अन्तर्मुखी पुरुषमा यो रोग बढी देखिने गरिएको छ ।
चिकित्सा तथ्यपत्रअनुसार यो रोग हुने थुप्रै कारण छन् । साइकोएनालिटिकली कारणमा भने अजागृत मनमा समलैंगिक भावनालाई रोगीले दबाउने प्रयास गर्छ । तब उसलाई आफ्नो जीवनसाथीप्रति शंका हुन्छ । यस्तै पारिवारिक कारणमा भने बाल्यकालमा अभिभावकको अति नियन्त्रण, बुबाको अनुपस्थिति जस्तो स्थितिबाट गुजि्रएका व्यक्तिमा यस्ता रोगको लक्षण देखिन सक्छ ।
स्वम्भवतः पढेलेखेका बुद्घिमान् भए पनि केही व्यक्ति अन्तर्मुखी स्वभावका हुन्छन् । यस्ता व्यक्तिसमेत आफ्नो जीवनसाथीप्रति शंकालु बन्ने गरेका छन् । प्रा.डा. शर्माका अनुसार यो मानसिक असन्तुलनअन्तर्गत लोग्नेले यौनसाथी अविश्वासी रहेको भ्रममा विश्वास गर्न थाल्छ । रोगीलाई आफ्नी श्रीमतीका हरेक क्रियाकलापबाट आफूले विश्वास गर्दै आएको भ्रमलाई नै बलियो बनाउने आधार हेर्न थाल्छ ।
यो रोगमा साथीको चरित्रमा सधैं शंका गर्नु प्रमुख लक्षण हो । यस्तै श्रीमतीको सधैं निगरानी गर्नु, पिछा गर्नु, बिनाकारण चरित्रमा आक्षेप लगाउनु पनि यो रोगको लक्षण हुन् । तर यो रोग प्रभावितले जीवन साथीसँग बारम्बार मारपिट गर्नु, रिसाउनु कुनै कुरा नसुन्ने गरे पनि अन्य व्यक्तिसँग भने सामान्य व्यहार नै गर्छन् । यस्तो मनोरोगीको उपचार धेरै जटिल र चुनौतीपूर्ण छ । साइकोथेरापीले लाभ भए पनि मनोरोगीलाई भने यसका लागि तयार हुनुपर्छ । आवश्यकताअनुसार एन्टि-डिप्रेसेन्ट औषधि दिइन्छ । उपचारमा परिवारको सहयोग धेरै फायदाकारी हुन्छ ।
मनोरोग मस्तिष्कमा रासायनिक असन्तुलनले गर्दा उत्पन्न हुन्छ । अन्य रोगजस्तै यो पनि आन्तरिक स्तरमा जैविक असन्तुलनले गर्दा हुन्छ । मानसिक रोग विशेषज्ञद्वारा दिइएको औषधि अवश्य सेवन गर्नुपर्छ । मानसिक रोग विशेषज्ञ डा. लुमेश्वर आचार्यका अनुसार यो रोगबाट रक्सीका अम्मलीहरू बढी प्रभावित हुन्छन् ।
‘यो रोग प्रभावित लोग्ने मान्छेले आफूलाई बिरामी मान्दैन,’ प्रा.डा. शर्मा भन्छन्, ‘यो रोगमा थाहा नहुनेगरी खुवाउन सकिने औषधिसमेत हुन्छन् ।’ लोग्ने उपचारका लागि आउन नमाने पनि उपचार हुने उल्लेख गर्दै प्र्रा.डा. शर्मा भन्छन् श्रीमतीले आफ्ना रोगी श्रीमान्को विस्तृत इतिहास बताएर मनोरोग विशेषज्ञको परामर्शमा उपचार गराउन सकिन्छ ।
हावर्ड मेडिकल स्कुलको तथ्यपत्रअनुसार ‘डिल्युजन डिसअर्डर’ को ईष्र्या खण्डअन्तर्गत आफ्नो डिल्युजन डिसअर्डर हुने जोखिम एक हजारमा एकजनालाई हुन्छ । यसको कारण भने थाहा हुन सकेको छैन । यो रोग हुने थोरैमा नपुंसकतासमेत हुने बताइएको छ । आफू सक्षम नभएपछि आफ्नो यौनसाथीमा शंका गर्न लाग्छ । अन्तमा श्रीमतीलाई प्रताडित गर्न थाल्छ । यस्तै अर्को प्रकारको शंकासम्बन्धी मानसिक रोग सिजोप|mेनियाका रोगीमा समेत यस्तो समस्या देखिन सक्छ । यस्तै नशाको अत्यन्त अम्मल भएका स्थितिमा समेत शंकाको रोग हुने सम्भावना प्रा.डा.शर्मा औंल्याउँछन् ।
चिकित्सा तथ्यपत्रअनुसार ओथेलो सिन्ड्रोमको कारण हीन भावनासमेत हुन सक्छ । यौन सन्तुष्टिमा आफूलाई अक्षम पाउनेहरूको अवचेतन मनमा हीन भावना हुन्छ । यस्तो व्यक्ति शंका गर्न थाल्छन् । नभएको बेला ताक झाक, स-साना कुरालाई समेत शंकाको दायरामा ल्याउने बानी पर्छ । यसपछि ऊ पत्नीलाई दुःख दिन थाल्ने तथ्यपत्रमा उल्लेख छ । यस्तै, सुपर इगोसमेत यसको कारण हुन सक्छ । मानिस सामाजिक प्राणी भएको नाताले आदर्श नैतिकताको सुपर इगोसमेत राख्छ । शंकाको स्थितिमा सुपर इगो ध्वस्त हुन्छ र मूल प्रवृत्ति एवं दमित इच्छा प्रकट हुन थाल्दा यो समस्या देखिने गरिएको मनोचिकित्सकहरू बताउँछन् ।
यस्तै, बन्द समाज खुल्लामा परिवर्तन भएपछि देखिने गरिएको मानसिकद्वन्दसमेत यो रोगको कारण हुन सक्छ । समाजमा आफूलाई प्रगतिशील देखाउन पत्नी र महिला आफन्तलाई खुलापनको छुट दिए पनि चिन्तनस्तर धेरै संकुचित हुने व्यक्तिसमेत छन् । यस्ता व्यक्तिको मनमा यस्तो स्थितिले द्वन्द्व चलिरहन्छ । अन्ततः ऊ शंकाले ग्रस्त भएर यो रोगबाट प्रभावित हुन्छ ।
पैसाको लोभमा मान्छे कत्रा- कत्रा अपराध गर्न पछि पर्दैनन् । त्यस्ताले सिक्नुपर्छ अनुजाबाट, जसले भेट्टाएको ९१ लाख रुपैयाँ र हीराको हार सम्बन्धित व्यक्ति पत्ता लगाइकन फिर्ता दिइन् ।
काठमाडौं सीतापाइलाका ६५ वषर्ीय पुरुषोत्तम पौडेलले आईएमईबाट इटहरी पैसा पठाए । भोलिपल्ट आएर उनैले बुझे र जेठी छोरी सुधा पोखरेललाई घर किन्न पुर्याइदिन धरान जाने बस चढे । हतारमा बसबाट उत्रने क्रममा झोला सिटमै छुटेको पत्तै पाएनन् ।
भोजपुर, भुल्के घर भई धरान बस्दै आएकी २२ वषर्ीया अनुजा बानियाँले कालो झोला देखिन् । कसको ? भन्दै कराइन् । कसैले ‘मेरो’ भनेनन् । अनि, लिएर गइन् । घरमा खोलेर हेर्दा आत्तिइन् । झोलामा त ९१ लाख रुपैयाँ नगद र हीराको हार पो रहेछ ! घटना चैत २६ गतेको हो ।
मामा-माइजूसाथ बस्दै आएकी अनुजाले त्यो झोला फिर्ता गर्ने निर्णय गरिन् । र, ब्यागमा रहेका कागजपत्रमा बल्लतल्ल फोन नम्बर भेट्टाएर २८ गते खबर गरिदिइन् ।
त्यत्रो पैसा हराएका पौडेल होस हवास हराएजस्ता भई प्रहरीलाई समेत खबर नगरी काठमाडौं फर्किसकेका थिए । पौडेलकी मीतछोरी अनिता कार्कीका अनुसार अनुजासँग सम्पर्क भएकै भोलिपल्ट काठमाडौंबाट पौडेल आए । र, अनुजाले भानुचोकमा लगेर झोला जस्ताको तस्तै फिर्ता दिइन् ।
पैसा बुझ्न मीत बुवासँगै पुगेकी अनिताका अनुसार पौडेलले गद्गद् भई उनलाई पुरस्कारस्वरूप दुई लाख रुपैयाँ दिन खोजे । तर लिन मानिनन् । हीराको हार दिन चाहे, त्यो पनि लिइनन् ।
पौडेलका एक छोरा र ज्वाइँ अमेरिकामा छन् । पैसा छोरीको घर किन्न उतैबाट पठाइएको थियो ।
अनुजाले भने खास कुरा गर्न चाहिनन् । ‘भोजपुर भुल्के गाविस, बुवा ज्ञानेन्द्र बानियाँ, आमा भगवती,’ मात्र यति भनिन्, ‘म सामान्य पढालेखा युवती हुँ ।’
‘सर्वस्व नै फिर्ता भयो,’ पौडेलकी छोरी सुधाले भनिन्, ‘कसरी बताउने, मानिसले पत्याउँदैनन् ।’ घटनापछि बुबाले काठमाडौंमा घर लिन सल्लाह दिएको र त्यसका लागि उता जाने तयारी गरेको उनले बताइन् । पौडेलका इटहरी बस्ने अर्का छोरा अनिलले फोनमा भने, ‘घटना साँचो हो, सुन्दा पत्याउन गाह्रो लाग्ला ।

''मानिसको जीवनमा नामको पनि निकै ठूलो महत्व हुन्छ । मानिसले नामबाट पनि उसको स्वभाव, बानीव्होराबारे अड्कल काट्ने गर्छन् । मानिसको नामको सुरूवाती अक्षरबाट पनि यसबारे जानकारी हासिल गर्ने गर्छन् ।'

बाख्रालाई बलात्कार गरेको अभियोग प्रमाणित भएपछि एक युवकले डेढ महिना जेलको हावा खानु पर्ने भएको छ । बेलायतको उत्तरपश्चिमी विल्टशायरका २३ वर्षका एक पुरुषलाई पशु करणीको मुद्दामा जेल सजाय मात्र होइन अब उनलाई देशभरका कुनैपनि बाख्रा फार्ममा जान समेत प्रतिबन्ध लगाइएको छ । जनावरलाई सुरक्षा प्रदान गर्न भन्दै उनीमाथि देशका पशु फार्ममा जान प्रतिबन्ध लगाइएको हो ।रोबर्ट न्युम्यान नामका ती पुरुषले छिमेकीको फार्मको बाख्रलाई बलात्कार गरी सख्त घाइते बनाएर भेटेनरी अस्पतालमा भर्ना गर्नुपरेको थियो । सुरुमा बाख्रा बलात्कार गरेको आरोप अस्विकार गरेपनि उनले अन्ततः कसूर स्विकार गरे ।
समाचार अनुसार पटक पटक बाख्रा बिरामी हुन थालेपछि र बाख्राको यौनांगमा घाउ देखिन थालेपछि बाख्रा धनी चिन्तित भए । उनीहरुले बाख्राको आफै निगरानी गरेर पुग्ने अवस्था रहेन । त्यसैले फार्ममा क्यामरा जडान गरे । अन्त्यमा ती युवकले बाख्रालाई पटक पटक बलात्कार गर्ने गरेको दृश्य क्यामरामा कैद भएपछि उक्त कुराको पोल खुल्यो ।
अदालत समक्ष बयान गर्दा ती युवकले यस्तो घृणित काममा फस्ने आफ्नो इच्छा नभएपनि आफुले बाध्यताबस त्यस्तो गरेको र अब फेरी असल जिन्दगीमा फर्किने बताए । उनका वकिलले पनि ती मानिस एक्लोपना तथा डिप्रेसनबाट पीडित भएकाले उनलाई सजाय नभै उपचार आवश्यक रहेको बताएका थिए । विल्टसायर मजिस्ट्रेट कोटले उनी विरुद्ध ६ हप्ताको जेल सजाय सुनाउँदै ती युवक विरुद्धको अर्को मुद्दाको सजाय समेत यसैमा गाभिने जनाएको छ । उनी विरुद्ध डाँका गरेको अभियोग समेत लागेको छ ।

कुनै सुन्दर युवतीलाई देख्दा पुरुषको पहिलो नजर युवतीको कुन अंगमा पर्ला ? पहिलोपटक कुनै महिलालाई भेट्दा पुरुषले झ्वाट्ट कुन अंगमा नजर डुलाउला ? धेरैको उत्तर हुनसक्छ वक्षस्थल । तर एक अध्ययनले भने यो कुरा झुटो सावित गरिदिएको छ । एक अन्तराष्ट्रिय सर्भेक्षणबाट प्राप्त नतिजालाई विश्वास गर्ने हो भने पुरुषको पहिलो नजर महिलाको आँखामा पर्दछ ।
?
पहिलो नजर महिलाको आँखामा जुधाइसकेपछि पुरुषले त्यसपछि महिलाको कुन अंग हेर्छ होला ? यसमा पनि तपाइँको अनुमान नमिल्न सक्छ । पुरुषले दोश्रो नजर महिलाको मुख अर्थात् मुस्कानमा लगाउँछ । तेश्रो नजर बल्ल महिलाको वक्षस्थल वा कम्मर भन्दा तल्लो भागतिर पर्छ ।
डेलीमेलमा छापिएको खबर अनुसार सर्भेक्षणमा सहभागि गराइएका ७० प्रतिशत पुरुषले पहिलोपटक महिलासँग भेट हुँदा आफ्नो पहिलो नजर महिलाको आँखामा पर्ने बताए । बेलायती संस्था ड्रपले १ हजार पुरुष र १ हजार महिलामा गरेको सर्भेक्षण अनुसार महिलाको वक्षस्थल पुरुषको हेराइएको तेश्रो प्राथमिकतामा पर्छ ।
सर्भेक्षण अनुसार कतिपय पुरुषले महिलाको वजन तथा हेयर स्टाइलमा पनि विशेष ध्यान दिन्छन् । यी सबै कुरा राम्रो लागेपछि मात्र पुरुषले महिलाले लगाएका लुगा तथा महिलाको उचाइमा ध्यान दिन्छन् ।
पुरुषहरुले सबैभन्दा बढि बेवास्ता गर्ने वा सबैभन्दा पछि हेर्ने अंग भनेको महिलाको नाक रहेछ । अध्ययन अनुसार महिलाहरुले भने पुरुषको छातिमा पहिलो नजर पूराउँछन् । त्यसपछि पुरुषको उचाइ तथा छालाको रंगमा ध्यान दिन्छन् ।

In the United States, mothers are increasingly finding themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place.
'The choice that is not really a choice' is one of the oldest tricks in parenting. Anticipating a tantrum or endless dawdling, the parent offers the babt a limited set of options: 'Would you like to wear the red shirt or the blue shirt? Would you like the carrots or the apple? It's your choice.'
The baby, being a child, feels empowered. He is the one in control; he gets to make the big decisions. But this deception only lasts for so long. Eventually the child grows older and starts to dream beyond his proscriptions. He realises there are not only two options, but a world of dazzling variety. He demands to be part of this world, but his requests are denied. He realises he never had options after all, but that choice itself was an illusion produced by the powerful.
If only his mother would realise the same.
On August 7, the New York Times ran an article called 'The Opt Out Generation Wants Back In' - a follow-up to a 2003 story about highly accomplished, well-educated American women who left the workforce to stay at home with their children. Ten years later, the mothers are seeking work that befits their abilities but most are unable to find it, causing them to question their original decision.
Freshers struggle to land jobs in US.
The NewYork Times piece frames the mothers' misgivings as a result of questionable planning and poor marriage partners, paying mere lip service to the tremendous change in the economy over the past ten years. Whether to work or stay at home is presented as an option that has to do with personal fulfillment and childrearing preferences, divorced from fiscal limitations.
But for nearly all women, from upper middle-class to poor, the "choice" of whether to work is not a choice, but an economic bargain struck out of fear and necessity. Since 2008, the costs of childbirth, childcare, health care, and education have soared, while wages have stagnated and full-time jobs have been supplanted by part-time, benefit-free contingency labour.
The assumed divide between mothers who work inside and outside the home is presented as a war of priorities. But in an economy of high debt and sinking wages, nearly all mothers live on the edge. Choices made out of fear are not really choices. The illusion of choice is a way to blame mothers for an economic system rigged against them. There are no "mommy wars", only money wars - and almost everyone is losing.

The media present a woman's fear of losing her career as the fear of losing herself. But the greatest fear of most mothers is not being able to provide for their children. Mothers with high-paying jobs go back to work to earn money for their kids. Married mothers with low-paying jobs quit to save money for their kids. Single mothers struggle to find work that pays enough to support their kids. Self-fulfillment is a low priority in an economy fuelled by worker insecurity.
