Life Spit It Out, Ladies

Your lives and bowels depend upon it.
Reuters reports on the results of new study, which found that women who force themselves to stay quiet during marital arguments have a higher risk of death, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome.
[O]ver a 10-year period, the most striking finding was that women who self-silenced were four times more likely to die than women who expressed themselves freely during marital arguments.
No word yet on how expressive women fare in other arenas (are non-silenced women four times more likely to get punched, or remain single?), but today’s full story can be found here.
(Thank you, MetaFilter.)
May we switch the terms? like 'marital debates' and 'presidential arguments".
i have never met a woman who 'self-silenced', in an argument or elsewhere.
it sounds refreshing. can anyone introduce me to one?
I´m going to live for a very long time!
@2:
WOCKA WOCKA!
i wonder if this holds true for men who self-silence as well...
This means my mother will live forever.
I self-silence all the time. I don't like arguing with my spouse.
I don't understand the study. Aren't we ALL going to die? And usually from heart disease? I don't understand these conclusions.
This is good advice.
And, yes, heart disease and stroke are your major risk factors for women.
the copyright watermarks are pretty tacky, yo.
Yeah, that phrasing is stupid. Perhaps they meant those women are four times more likely to die prematurely?
Ha Ha you said prematurely.
Sounds very much like an odds ratio, but I can't find the original study to confirm it.

The title "Spit it out" made me so sure the post was warning against newly discovered detrimental health effects of swallowing cum.
*Whew.*
Does this apply to overbearing mothers and their gay sons?
What absolute twaddle. They're really scraping the bottom of the "Studies" barrel now.
