Now researchers have discovered that today's woman truly does have equality with men in a unique way. The University of California at Irvine (UCI) has just reported on a new study conducted and funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The results are somewhat surprising. ERA has accomplished it's goal more than it might have realized.
According to a study, which appeared in the journal of Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches & rings) alter women's memory. Women who use contraceptives like birth control pills, experience memory changes. Their ability to remember the gist of an emotional event improves, while women not using the contraceptives better retain the details of the event.
The UCI researcher said, "What's most exciting about this study, is that it shows that the use of hormonal contraception alters memories." More than 100 million women use contraceptives worldwide. Researcher Shawn Nielsen stressed, that the medication did not damage memory. "It's a change in the type of information they remember, not a deficit." Remember, hormones were previously linked to women's strong left-brain memory. Estrogens and progesterones are linked to women's strong left-brain memory, that helps them remember things better than men, who encode memory with the help of right-brain memory. Since birth control pills control and lower the levels of the female reproductive hormones to prevent pregnancy in women, researchers are convinced that contraceptive pills can make women's memory similar to mens'. That's scary. Now both of them will forget their marriage anniversary dates.
Women who use hormonal contraceptives "recall" emotional events differently. In our modern world, with school based clinics, and the HHS authorizing free contraception under the National Health Care Plan, some red flags are raised; because the finding that contraceptives change the type of information a woman recalls should be of vital interest to female students, who need to remember details. In particular, they may do less well in situations requiring memorization.
Wasn't there an old saying, "The Devil's in the Details". This idiom, is derived from the earlier phrase, "God is in the details", which expressed the idea that whatever one does, it should be done thoroughly, as details are important. The slight switch in this idiom, from God to Devil, refers to a catch or mysterious element "hidden" in the details; which if overlooked in any plans or schemes, can cause serious problems later on down the line. So, now that neither men or women are able to remember the details, the Devil has no opposition.
Whatever happened to the compliment that God intended between the sexes. Now they are certainly both equal when it comes to their ability to "recall", or should we say "forget", as well as their sexual license. One has to ask if the original inventors of the pill, realized this "detail"? Was it intentional, or a consequence? Was this devil in the details just ignored in their quest for sexual license? Or was there another agenda?
