Junk-Sci Update: Dentists Say We're Wimps

	posted by Matt on 02:06 PM February 28th, 2005
	Dr. Dan writes "This report in the Chicago Sun Times begins, 'Put a guy in a dental chair, and he turns into a wimp.' That is the result of a survey conducted by the Chicago Dental Society. The tone of the article shows more amusement, than serious concern about male dental health. One can only wonder if the reporter would have been more compassionate, or questioned the study’s validity, had the results been the opposite."

Perhaps (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 05:21 PM February 28th, 2005 EST (#1) Perhaps if men are such wimps why isn't women who fight and sacrifce their life's for others. I haven't read the article, I don't need to. It's what's called a shaming exercise. Let the women do the real work and then we'll see who the real babies are.

FRIVOLOUS, GUYS--DON'T EVEN BOTHER (Score:1) by jname967 on 10:54 PM February 28th, 2005 EST (#3) Everyone's afraid of something. This article even rationalizes why men are afraid--they go less to the dentist, as opposed to when they were boys, and equally afraid as girls. This article is stupid--men are the natural risk-takers; it's just odd when there's a situation where they are scared.

Scared to death (Score:1) by Bert on 06:08 AM March 1st, 2005 EST (#4) http://www.geocities.com/anti_feminisme/index.html I am one of these guys who is scared of the dentist and I am not ashamed at all to admit it. On the other hand, before I started my own business I was a construction/building worker for a few years. I can assure you that I quite rarely saw women up there. Frankly, I never saw anything that even lookes like a woman. Bert -------------------- From now on, men's rights first.

Afraid? (Score:1) by MacKenna on 08:48 AM March 1st, 2005 EST (#5) Oh, please... I haven't had any fears about visiting the dentist for decades. LOL.

My Dentist Decided I was being too Stoic (Score:1) by The_Beedle on 03:26 PM March 2nd, 2005 EST (#6) Having not had dental insurance for a decade, I've had a couple of years of dental work to catch up on. My final drilling session the dentist took matters into his own hand and didn't stop when I said I'd had enough numbing. I was numb for hours. I hate that.
