Female Alert System ReviewA though provoking social statement, but Innefective for any accurate mood reading - Version: 1.5, 11/10/2006 12:11AM PST

I believe that this application makes a social statement about gener relations that may offend some people. In our society, if a man makes any comment about a woman's personality or behavior based on hormonal changes and fluxuations he is concidered a sexist shovanist, while if a woman was to sugest that a man was entirely controled by his sexual libito (and the only thought that occurs to him is sexual activity) then that woman is concidered a liberated feminist. But to digress from that debate, the software should only be used for enternainment purposes only as it is innefective for real hormonal tracking. All people (male and female) have hormonal swings, but the timing on these swings can vary in each indevidual. For a program to actually track any mood swings it would require mood input and long term tracking, which this lacks. So to restate the point that I am sugesting, this program is not to be taken seriously for any real prediction of mood.

Female Alert System CommentaryA note from the author.... - Version: 1.5, 10/24/2006 10:07AM PST

I'm Willravel, the guy that actually wrote the words used in the Female Alert System. What I was trying to do with my post is bring something to light that is a really big question mark for guys. Why would I do this? It's simple, really. I'd like to help men understand their girlfriends and wives so that they can be supportive. I don't want women to be coddled, mind you, but men should be attentive of their significant others. If I forget my anniversary, I am a jerk. If I remember to be a little more sensitive around that time of the month, aparently I am a raging sexist masoginist.

When I get home from work and my wife is watching Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and eating mint chocolate chip ice cream, wearing her sweat pants, I can gather that it is possible that she is having cramps and is more proned to a mood swing of some kind. The idea of this information is to understnad why this is happening, and what you should do to make her more comfortable. I think that in understanding this one of many parts of your partner, you're better able to appreciate and love your partner. When I bring home my wifes favorite ice cream on that certian day, she is not hurt because I think she's a mood robot, she is happy because I love her enough to anticipate and help her when she wants help.

If you're wondering about comments like "She's ready to iron and fold", "She's really horney", or "She's a lesbian", it's a matter of writing to your readers. I've been writing for well over 10 years, and that's the way to write if you're trying to convey information. The post was intended for men, and that was stated clearly back on the forum it was posted on. I know that a lot of guys apprecaite humor of this type. If that offended you, then realize that it's meant to appeal to your sense of humor, not your serious emotional side (which men and women both have).

For those who enjoyed it, I'm very glad. I hope you continue to enjoy it. Don't mind the naysayers.

For those of you that didn't enjoy it: so? Don't download it and move on with your lives. I'm not leading a patriarchal revolution or anything, so this app won't hurt your life. Why does everyone online seem to have a big important opinion, anyway? I know I'm not sexist.

Just so you know, a lot of research went into this, too. I read "Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom" by Dr. Christine Northrup and "Romance on the Run-Quality Sex for Busy Couples" by Tara Roth Madden.

I think it's funny (as does my wife). We appreciate your humor and have donated accordingly.

Try to igore the negative people without a sense of humor.

Thanks for the humor!

Jim

P.S. The widget idea is a good one (in my opinion)

I like a good joke as much as the next person, even those that poke fun at stereotypes about men and women, but I don't expect them to end up on VT, where I'm looking for useful applications. VT is not the place for this.

Maybe you could also make a variant that makes jokes about what all us regular guys don't like about black people, or chinese people, or jewish people, or...

oh, is that somehow different?

speaking as a female who has mood swings worthy of terror-alert level warnings. :) But this really needs to be a dashboard widget for Tiger. I downloaded it but I don't want to have an app running all the time. Make it into a widget, and I'll take another look.

Female Alert System CommentarySuggestion for new Alert System - Version: 1.5, 8/6/2005 07:20AM PST

MUCH more useful would be a measure of Testosterone poisoning and how likely a male is to be a serial killer or rapist.
This would have been especially useful for the BTK killer or all those
males who go "postal."

Female Alert System CommentaryPossible Variants... - Version: 1.5, 8/5/2005 07:31PM PST

Possible Variants...

A Sports fan alert system, keyed on the performance of favorite teams, rather than "cycle"

Bipolar co-workers alert system, keyed on workload, sleep debt, vacation schedules, etc.

Control freak co-workers alert system, keyed on whenever changes are made independent of their input, and whatever else that sets them off...

This has some possibilities!

one way or another - it''s got 4 of 5 stars!!
