Remember Nancy Hopkins who said she had to leave the room or else she would become ill when Lawrence Summers, president of Harvard University, speculated about the reasons fewer women than men go into science? 
 
Well, she undoubtedly will become ill  because she can't escape.  According to research in Britain,  men become calmer as they age but women...well women turn into grumpy old ladies.    

GRUMPY old men are just a myth. It's women who are really raging in old age, research indicates.

However 

The grumpy old women do score over men in one respect, however; they are much better at hiding their anger.
 
What?  Me? Angry?  Never!  Not even at grumpy old men!
