Article life

[edit]

I stumbled upon this topic noticing thatin one article a "see also" link to Superwoman Syndrome was deleted with comment "remove deleted page". Looking into the deletion discussion, I noticed that it was...er... rather superficial and underresearched. Contrary to the AfD claims that it is a "fringe theory", "neologism", and less, it was a rather widespread notion of 1980s. (I guess, most of wikipedians did not exist then :-). Since from the AfD it is unclear what the article content was, I give the voters the benefit of doubt that the old text was indeed about something else, deletable.

Therefore I decided to write a reasonable stub, with references and all, despite being, as usual, a complete ignorant in sociology studies. I hope experts will expand the article, since the material is abound. Laudak (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can assure you your version is much better researched, well written and un-biased than the last one. But your right, I at least was not around when and if the term was ever widely used so I was un-aware something coherent could be written under the same title. :) Freikorp (talk) 03:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Triple X syndrome

[edit]

I removed the redirect to Triple X syndrome of: "superwoman syndrome" a genetic disorder.
"Superwoman syndrome" is not an accepted name for Triple X syndrome (47,XXX).
"Superwoman syndrome" appears to be a misreading—confined to two authors with no expertise in medical genetics—of (the also inappropriate) "superfemale syndrome":

Slow parenting

[edit]

I can see how this relates to Helicopter parent, but can you (Lemonjuicer) perhaps put the reference to Slow parenting into a sentence to explain that link? Rixs (talk) 10:58, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
