Researchers who claim women are grumpy for the equivalent of ten days a year have been called sexist by the London newspaper 'Metro'. A vitamin company called Healthspan conducted the survey, which involved interviewing 1,000 women and 1,000 men about what affects their mood. The study said in a typical week, the average woman reckons she spends around five hours in a bad mood. 'Metro' issued an article attacking the study for being "incredibly" and "extraordinarily" sexist. It reported that the study was, "carried out by scientists who could have been spending their time doing something useful". It added the study reinforced sexist stereotypes of women being over-emotional.
研究人员称女性在每年有十天脾气会比较暴躁，这些研究人员被伦敦报纸《都市》称为性别歧视者。一个名叫Healthspan的维他命公司进行了一项调查，调查采访了1,000名女性和1,000名男性，询问影响他们情绪的因素。研究说明，在典型的一周之内，平常女性一般会认为自己约有5个小时心情不好。《都市》发表了一篇文章，攻击这项研究，称这项研究是不可信的，明显的性别歧视。还报道称，这项研究由科学家进行，这些科学家本应该花时间去做有用的事情。它还说，这项研究强化了性别歧视者的陈词滥调，他们认为女性过于情绪化。
Psychotherapist Sally Brown, a spokeswoman for Healthspan, said: "Moods are a barometer of our overall well being. The research shows both men and women are susceptible to being in a bad mood from time to time." She added that: "Women crave 'me time' and men tend to rely on their partners to help lift them out of their moods." Ms Brown commented on causes for women becoming moody, saying: "Everyday challenges from bad traffic to failing technology can tip women into a bad mood." Other bad-mood triggers the survey highlighted include feeling fat, worrying about money, breaking a nail, fearing their partners were 'not listening' and bad weather.
