This looks like a put it on your calendar be first in line thing for women.
For anyone on this list who understands statistics and studies like those
mentioned here, I'm wondering about the "100 % effective" based only 21 women
out of 10,000 plus. That seems like such a small margin....to base something
on. But then I always hated the stats/probability section in Math classes
-- it all seemed so ......random.
