Subscription Only: Gov’t nuclear agency compared radioactive material to ‘agitated wife’
Kyodo
June 4, 2012
A government entity in charge of nuclear research and development has dropped a page from its website after it triggered an outpouring of criticism for comparing radioactive material to an “angry and agitated wife” in a quarrel with her husband, Kyodo News learned Monday.The Japan Atomic Energy Agency [...] admitted it had previously used the comparison in the page now invisible and simply showing the word “under construction.”
According to a stored image of the previous content of the page, it says it intends to provide easy-to-understand information to people, especially to women, since “a social survey has shown that women have lower level of understanding of and satisfaction with basic information concerning nuclear power.”

Hubby is poisoning her with plutonium. No wonder she is po'd. Kick his ass, go girl!

And she will continue kicking for thousands of years. She will kick the ass of everything and anybody getting near her. 24,100 years from now she will still be kicking even though only half as often … if there is still anything left to kick then.

Half as often?
No, her daughters will be born then.

Sexism alive and well in 2012. Men create man-made radiation, and associate this radiation with women. Pathetic. Maybe they will start burning witches (or wives) for radiation poisoning?

How about this line "easy-to-understand information to people, especially to women, since “a social survey has shown that women have lower level of understanding".

Yes, Dogleg, if that was the true goal then they would have used the analogy of a husband "invisibly" siphoning off the bank account for all of his hidden mistresses.

I wonder if the world had a nuclear industry if women were in charge.
Could've been quite nice, actually.

I don't know B&B. Anne Lauvergeon was CEO of Areva but I don't think she made company any better.

I mean, as women don't have small penises to compensate with nuclear bombs.
Atomic Rod comes to mind.

Man (men and women) gravitates towards destruction. I did a paper in college and asked a dozen women, what would the world be like If women ran the world. Would the car have been invented lets say? 8 out of 12 said no cars, we would enslave men to do our bidding.

Maybe that would have worked out. Women luxuriating like roman senators while men create energy by running in a wheel. At least no nukes!

Many women are mothers. If they only knew, instead of blindly following patriarchal social directives that rarely let females into the nuke boys club.

I think it would be interesting if all anti-nukers applied a job at one of those nuclear power companies. There was an ad for EDF on enenews google ad at the top. Hehehe.

Women seem to make up the majority of the anti-nuke movement. It doesnt make them bad people they just need re-educated. (acording to pro-nuke)

I am not a flaming women's rights advocate, but this remark certainly did make my blood boil, as they say. Talk about, "Been a misogynist so long, it seem OK to me…"
And that snide remark about having to 'explain more and more simply for women' because they 'have a harder time understanding the information.' (paraphrasing) …….
Wrong, sexist dweebs! Women (mothers, anyway)are more CARING! They care about their children so much that they won't be taken in by your lies (it's called 'critical thinking' – yes, women can do it) and will even go against the oppressive, centuries-old 'women be submissive' indoctrination/ stance of the sexist Japanese/Asian cultures.
As far as I can see, TEPCO and Japan's govt. just keep putting foot in mouth over and over and over – naively betraying themselves. Of course we must bear in mind that it is not just Japan's corrupt/decadent ruling elites who are in thrall to the monstrously sick/evil nuclear establishment…

"explain more and more simply for women"
Translation: Women are not so easily deluded by bullshit and propaganda, often narrow their eyes at the pablum-spewer (a threat display) and ask "pointed" questions the pablum-spewer can't answer. Like, for instance, WHY?
Plus, men are much more easily convinced to sacrifice their sons for the glory of some emperor or other, while women will f*cking KILL you if you get too close to their young'uns with a gun (or a nuke)… Definitely the more dangerous of the species. At least, to wannabe overlords with teeny tiny weenies.

Heh. As part of that whole cultural misogynistic thing (leftover from a painfully misogynistic guy named Freud) was that women are so 'hysterical' and ill-tempered because they suffer from "Penis Envy." Like anything with a penis ever got the opportunity to live on this planet without a WOMAN deciding to birth it… that's not "envy," it's knowing where the darned things come from – a bit more powerful than lots of men would like to admit.
…but that's just me. It's my birthday today and all my menfolk – all three and a half generations of 'em (so far) – get to cater totally to my whims. I had roses and wishes on my desk when I got up this morning, I'll have a fine dinner this evening, some cake and hugs and presents, and all due wifely, motherly, grandmotherly and (soon-coming) great-grandmotherly respects paid. Just as it should be. I promise that not a one of 'em would ever dare to suggest to my face or behind my back that I'm not smart enough to understand health physics or why nukes and life don't mix. I'm the one they all come to when THEY don't understand such things! §;o)

Many many many happy returns, JoyB. Keep on postin'.
We shouldn't all get too distracted by the misogynistic bait, repulsive though it is. I'm guessing a lot of other potential diversions are still in the pipeline.

"A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them; they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition. The mark of that so-called intuition is simply a sharp and accurate perception of reality, an habitual immunity to emotional enchantment, a relentless capacity for distinguishing clearly between the appearance and the substance. The appearance, in the normal family circle, is a hero, a magnifico, a demigod. The substance is a poor mountebank… She may envy him his masculine liberty of movement and occupation, his impenetrable complacancy, his peasant-like delight in petty vices, his capacity for hiding the harsh face of reality behind the cloak of romanticism, his general innocence and childishness. But she never envies him his puerile ego; she never envies him his shoddy and preposterous soul."

Happy, happy birthday, Joy! You are the perfect counterbalance to this ridiculous example of an absurd, puerile, chauvinistic, limited vision of whatever numbskull thought up the brainless idea to "dumb it down" for women in Japan…
I am proud to know you, an excellent pioneering woman of substance and intelligence. Your contributions here at enenews continue to shine and make all of us here, women and men alike, proud to know you. We are thankful for the knowledge, wisdom and experience you impart. Wishing you a birthday filled with dreams come true!

I agreed blades, also women are more logical….nuclear makes NO SENSE so when men try to get women on board with their nuclear BS it doesn't work. Women wouldn't have moved forward with nuclear energy…we are too intelligent for that.

How is it fu.. posible that druling corrupt idiots like those pathetic fu… of Male gender manage to Talk about Women.
This is so fu… out of anything desent, anything near credibility, anything truth and above all responcebility of their own actions.

I am NOT supriced that this stupidity is dripping from the Shittheads in Japan.
Japan is a male dominant and ther by a utterly covard society, runn by Males, without balls at all.
This is getting sicker and sicker, the goverments more and more like something lett way to soon out of an Lunatic asylum.
And when they are druling like this, the same "femenism" that our own ABBterrorist(that killed almoust 90 children) he to blames Women for everything wrong, of corse, it always The Others.
Not us, nono, but Them.
Japan is fu.., not only by the acsident, but by their own idiots and sick fu… that are in charge.
And you are dead already, I know it and so do you, the only thing is for us to wait, for the rickoshet.
PS: wounder if they have the balls to tell that to their grandmothers, that everything we have to day, is because of them.

with people in charge of nuclear development and research using such ridiculous comparisons , it's no wonder they cant find their missing reactors if one dropped out of their flaming rear end.

On matters of life and health women are generally more competent, especially in societies with more distinct gender roles. Instead of insulting women, pretending to educate, better go ask them, before bulding the next monster! They will be sitting next to you when you die, poor nuclear advocates!

May I point out that what the Japan Atomic Energy Agency is missing in their own sex-stereotype analogy is that it is usually the "husband's stupidity" that has caused the wife to become angry and agitated and radioactive.

To the Japan government's nuclear agency..
Your campaign to trivialize and minimize the situation is not going to work.
The millions spent is going to be wasted..why?
Because the situation is too critical to hide much longer.
This isn't like BP..where the damage done is at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.
The "cat is out of the bag"..and the people that are concerned about the welfare of the people will press on.
Know this..as you go about making your devious plans…
Your wives and children..your mother and fathers ..are being exposed to radiation from Fukushima.
Women..the ones that brought you into this world..and the child (you once were)..are being cast away.
Still not moved?.. stay where you are…their fate is also your own.

Ahh the scorn of a woman…
I guess it only takes one stupid man to screw things up for all of us men.
WTH is the matter with these people, You DO NOT mess with a mama bear! You DO NOT mess with a mama bears family.
We have already seen the suppressed japanese mama bears wake up to the harsh reality that the japanese papa bears are not taking care of the family, by allowing said family to be in danger. It's real danger. It may be invisible, but it is tangible, given the fact that they have always been told that nuclear is safe. Now it is not? What, but you have always said…
Are the Japanese gov trying to make these people pick up pitchforks and make corrections in the diety?
And rightly so. They should all go enmass to tear some …
All mama bears on this planet should be angry, very angry.
Because the papa bears of this planet are not taking care of the family against a deadly threat that has been imposed upon us all.
Even the "good?" aspects of medical isotopes are causing latent damage.
I keep reading the "experts" being surprised by the results.
There are no experts, only surprised educated idiots!
Tell me again that any human generated nuclear radiation is good for any of us. I will show you that it is not…

Child Cancer Radiation Raises Breast Cancer Risk
June 4, 2012 (Chicago) — Girls treated with radiation for childhood cancers are at elevated risk of developing breast cancer in mid-life — even if the radiation dose was relatively low, researchers say.
"We were surprised to find that women treated with radiation to the chest during childhood have a risk of developing breast cancer that is comparable to that of women who are carriers of the hereditary BRCA mutations," says Chaya Moskowitz, MD, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
