I guess that women tend to have more medical/physiological issues than men, or maybe they are more inclined to discuss with other women and to go see a doctor.<br /><br />It stems back to a time when women were often trapped in mundane lives, with no way out. The words 'Bored', Housewife' and undisclosed sexual frustration (men didn't know how to pleasure their womenfolk!) became synonymous with the advent of medicinal tonics and cures for 'hysteria'. Quacks would fall over themselves to 'help' women with the 'vapours', sometimes administering strange newly-fangled vibrating inventions to help relieve the poor fallen angels of their nervous tension.<br /><br />The invention of anti-depressants took all the fun out of therapy sessions.<br /><br />As for men, the invention of Metrosexualness means that it is now ok to purchase skin-care products, but only if they are clearly labelled as being specifically for MEN. We still have to rely on close female friends to discreetly buy our 'Health Products' for us - and to tell us what those strange feelings are that we won't own up to. <br /><br />It still takes a huge effort of will for most men to admit to 'weakness' for fear of being labelled as 'Gay' - that is why Boots don't aim their products at men. What's the point when they think there's nothing wrong with them? Nothing that a game of rugby and a long, hot communal bath can't cure! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425913358406411941.post-46338797164044869332014-08-28T14:28:08.799+01:002014-08-28T14:28:08.799+01:00Posted a comment, but it won't publish! :-(Posted a comment, but it won't publish! :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
