Scientific Study Reveals: What Women Really Think About!
My Next Milperra post has been delayed due issue of dubious nature... So in the meantime I present a newspaper article which is part of my latest writing project. As always, I welcome comments.
Scientific Study Reveals: What Women Really Think About!
Preliminary findings of a University of New South Wales (UNSW) study released today might finally answer one of life’s greatest mysteries. What is it that occupies women’s minds? The controversial answer: Fluffy Pink White Elephants. Even more startling, they think of the elephants every seven seconds.
The study, was conducted by a team at UNSW, over the last three years under the supervision of Dr. Steven Doyle. The aim? Understand the thinking behaviors of women
The startling discovery initially came as a result of a student prank. Explains Dr. Doyle “On of my PhD students put the question in as a joke for one of the survey batches, the results were so astounding that we had to explore the matter further.”
One of the team researcher and graduate students Ms Susan Jones was at first doubtful about the results. “My concern about the results a first was based on the fact that I don’t think of fluffy pink white elephants all the time”, says Susan, “so I decided to undergo the test myself and found that in the process that I do in fact think of fluffy pink white elephants every seven seconds!”
Tracy Lau, Student Women’s Officer at UNSW, was outraged at the study. “I’m outraged”, said Lau in a press release. Later in the day she clarified her position. “I can’t believe that a study conducted at UNSW would have such misogynistic results, this is an alarming example of men trying resurrect a culture of power and patriarchy.”
Dr. Doyle refutes Lau’s allegations, “This is about science pure and simple, I find Ms Lau’s reactionary response to be very disturbing. Frankly, a leader of students should be someone who seeks to learn truth, especially when it challenges their own understanding of the world.”
Like many groundbreaking discoveries this one raises more questions than it answers. “Of all the possible things to think about why fluffy pink white elephants?” asks Doyle. “For that matter what does a white pink elephant actually look like? It boggles the mind,” says an awestruck Doyle “pink and white are two distinct colours! Thinking about a fluffy elephant that’s two distinct colours at the same time, we just don’t know how that is even possible!”
But the final word has to go to Ms Jones, “Looking at these results and how much even I think about the fluffy pink white elephants, you have to wonder, how do women get anything done?”
