somewhat longer. -
So says Dr. Estelle Ramey, a
nationally known
endocrinologist, ' who -believes
that "men- have..- designed a
society that's calculated to make
it difficult. for them to live to a
ripe old "age."
And, she adds, "They insist
on running it without any help
from their natural partners

Dr. . Ramey is a professor in
the Department of• Physiology
and Biophysics at .. the
Georgetown Medical School in.
Washington, D.C. '
Men in pur culture, Dr.
Ramey points out, are subject,.to.
greater .stresses and their life
expectancy is invariably..sho rter
than women's. Men are..also,
expected to be strong, she says,
and never to show the slightest
sign of weakness. °
Sin.c e they're not
"permitted to cry, • their
emotions -will find an outlet one
way or another, she notes.
"If they can't shed watery
tears,' then they'll cry internally
' with -blood." *"
As a result, she observes, men
develop peptic ulcers and
ulcerative colitis' to a greater
extent than women.
. ....,... in Dr.'Ramey's: view, men
"`i'onstantly fend off any woman
who , wants to share
responsibility with them. They
do this by telling her she's "a
sweet-, delightful little thing
who's just too frail to stand up
.---to stress."
There's no'question, says the
endocrinologist; „that men
generally can bring more
"muscle force" to'bear on their
problems, but, she adds, "If

The continued advocation, of
