He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself, my life became very bitter and sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me about a great spell caster that is very good and she said that he told her all about her life history and the problem she is facing, I didn't believe it because I've worked with so many of them and it didn't work. She begged me further so I decided to try this great spell caster called Great Dr UGO. I still didn't believe, but inside me I wanted to give a try and as God will have it, I used the spell solution he gave me and the next day I received a call from my darling husband Romero last month. He apologized and came back to me. I'm very happy now with my family it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too just give him a try and follow up this is a clear truth from a testifier.

Please enlighten me. <i>Cognition</i> certainly does, lending itself to the subspecialty known as cognitive psychology, which studies various mental processes (perception, memory, language, etc.) and how they affect people’s behavior as they attempt to understand the world.<br /><br />Both these words have vernacular uses that predate their use in psychology by hundreds of years. <i>Cognition</i> found previous uses in philosophy. Think (pun intended) René Descartes.

People with high social status are expected to show less emotion and they hire lower-status underlings to interpret and display emotional states for them: "My boss is angry about this." So emotional expression isn't only assigned by gender but by class and along other lines, which undermines the argument that women are naturally more interested in "drama" than men are.

“In fairness, the Times does tell us...Somerby says:<br />“In fairness, the Times does tell us today that Donald J. Trump's Scottish resort is 25 miles away from that much-maligned Scottish airport. On September 6, Rachel and Brian each rattled off a different figure—they each said the distance was 50 miles, a figure they took, live and direct, from a report which Politico had apparently bungled.”<br /><br />I decided to check the transcript of Rachel’s show from September 6, link: http://www.msnbc.com/transcripts/rachel-maddow-show/2019-09-06<br /><br />Here is what Maddow says, quoting from the transcript:<br /><br />“They stopped at President Trump’s Turnberry resort, about 50 miles outside Glasgow, Scotland.”<br /><br />Somerby implies that she said the distance *from the airport* was 50 miles. That isn’t what she said. And guess what: here is the description of Turnberry from Wikipedia:<br /><br />“The resort is 50 miles (80 km) south of Glasgow,”<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnberry_(golf_course)<br /><br />Now, we can’t say if Somerby deliberately misrepresented what Rachel said. Surely he wouldn’t do a thing like that. But his lack of a link caused us to search this little nit-pick and discover Somerby’s (ahem) “mistake.”<br /><br />Perhaps his own cognition is failing. <br /><br />That would be the charitable explanation here.

"<br /><br />Somerby says there is nothing wrong with this kind of article, but then he HAS included it in a list of bad things, and he goes on to complain about more stuff afterward. I'd say his assertion that there is nothing wrong is not truthful. He clearly wants us to find this stuff wrong. And why does he attribute it to women? And the no-drama to the guy he quotes? Is this supposed to be taken as an example of female drama? Then he calls such articles an example of "dumbness". Seems to me he is thereby calling the drama that women write, examples of dumbness too. Then he mocks self-help and then circles back to Dowd, who is after all, female. And he asks whether the NY Times considers women this dumb.<br /><br />I have to ask whether Somerby considers women dumb himself. He is the one doing the labeling. Dowd, like it or not, won a Pulitzer prize. I am female and I dislike her style intensely. How does that fit Somerby's paradigm? Do women really write all the first-person articles? What % of total articles are they, and what % of submissions are from women? <br /><br />If Somerby had ever taken a Women's Studies class in college (yes, they existed back then), he might understand gender role assignment in our society, how women get assigned the emotional work in both relationships and in organizations. What happens when you label emotion-work "dumb" and treat it with contempt? Does this make women dumb too? How might Somerby have rephrased this critique to avoid drawing that conclusion, and does he want to? Maybe the whole point here is to call women dumb, in advance of an election in which a highly accomplished, not-dumb woman is our likely nominee. If Somerby can remind everyone that women are dumb, maybe Bernie or even Trump might have more of a chance at the polls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
