Ooh, good point Eliza! Maybe we should also hook up POC with their own drinking fountains too, so that no one is upset by them sharing with white people.

well if everyone is so upset about women being on submarines why can’t they have submarines exclusively staffed by women?

I think there has been, is, and always will be a sense of entitlement from both sexes, including guys who feel insecure. What needs to be done is a general societal change that teaches respect and accountability regardless of sex.

I have clearly spent too much time teaching in East Asia, because I read “electrician” as some sort of liberty rod maintenance engineer.

I cannot wait for hubs to get home tonight so I tell him I missed his instrument of liberation today. He’s an electrician so he might think I’m talking about his ohmmeter or something.

My tags embarrass me. BBS code is not XHTML. I’m not awake. Where is my vagina toast.

GOD I WISH MY VAGINA MADE TOAST.

This post pleases me. You know what else pleases me? Grafton. Grafton pleases me. I think I have a guy-crush on him.

As for brain-sex differences, I can personally attest to them being 150% true. As soon as I started my transition, I immediately starting loving football, having previously found it tedious. And then I went out and started 64 bar fights AND WON.

But seriously, I think (and… I read somewhere during my edumacation, god, I wish I could give you a reference, but I can’t! how embarassing) hormone-balance deals with one thing: physicality. The only thing that wangs this up is pre-menstrual dysphoria (which, oh Jesus, why does it even need to happen) but that only shafts your mood, not your predisposition towards liking or doing certain things.

[i]But don’t insult bonobos, they’re the ones with minimal sexual dimorphism who settle territorial disputes with lesbian orgies. Pan trogladytes are the chimps who act like the popular perception of human males with no sexual self-control. Look it up.[/i]

Dude, seriously, thank you. Bonobos♥

“If women’s worth is only in fuckability, then men are just dumb fuckers. We think better of men. Do you?”

Classic.
