Harvard row over sex and science


And quite right too. They should stay home, cook babies and iron my dinner!

this was classic. way to go, asshat. just SMASH everyone's ideas about how Harvaard is NOT a Boy's Club, NOT biased against women, and NOT 30 years behind the times. I had to take a long hard introspective look at how i've been fooled into thinking Harvaard was the most accepting, socially progressive place on earth. Last time i trust Ivy League ;;

Good for him. They should be breeding not reading.

Face it, women have less innate ability than men at damned near everything, but the only way to get any friggin peace is to tell them they're our "equals".

Well, I can guarantee (okay, assume) that there are thousands of women smarter, stronger, more agile, etc. than you, based on their innate ability being superior to yours.

While it may be generally true that average women are more agile or men smarter at math or whatever (don't really care to research it), I fail to see the point of raising the issue. The top 0.5% of each gender is superior to the remaining 99.5% lazy-*** slack-jawed yokels of the world. We should pay attention to individuals rather than sweeping generalizations. RPGs shouldn't base max stats on gender either goddamit.

What value can come from noting that a gender or race as a whole is less adept at a particular field or mental/physical pursuit? Just what are we going to change in society because of this? Eugenics? Affirmative action? **** that, let each human mark their own way in the world based on their individual ability. If a woman can never be as strong as Magnus Samuelson, so be it. If a man can never swim the English Channel as many times as what's-her-name, so be it. Who gives a ****.

Women and men are not "equal" in many ways. But a woman can be equal to a man in any way, and vice-versa, in nearly every case. (Except for lactation ability or ***** production or something like that, of course.)

Alternately, I could book a vacation to the local Target and see bras and panties in warmth and comfort!

I hope not, because my wife balances the checkbook and runs the finances in our relationship. She is always on my case for not writing in ATM slips for a couple of months at a time. I suck.

He's right, and so what?


Melodrama much?

Oxymoron much?
