Sexism

As for "pop psychological crap", try taking up an interest in evolutionary psychology, specifically the mating aspects of it.

Better yet, download the iBook "It's Not You It's Biology" by Joe Quirk. You will never look at the opposite gender the same way again, EVER. Be it your significant other or in how they interact in social situations. It is a much more informative and entertaining read than that Mars/Venus crap. Even a Kinsey-0 guy would enjoy reading it.

Want to know how monogamous human females are in general? Men, compare the heft of your testicles to your body mass. I'll tell you they're considerably larger in proportion to your body than the most monogamous primate, the gibbon, though not as large as a chimp's are compared to his body and chimp females are total sluts.

Want to know how monogamous human males are in general? Women, compare their average body size to ours; they're 8% taller and 15% heavier. The pious gibbons are the exact same size, male gorillas are 2x the weight of females and they control harems about 6 females strong.

That's just a snippet of the gems the book offers.

For the record, yeah... I have daddy-issues because I had no brothers, I was dressed in blue, put under enormous pressure to be perfect, found my social niche as a tomboy, spent 6 years in the Marines rewiring my brain to a male mentality, worked with violent and sex offenders in an all-male prison, still managed to get married, have 3 kids, and on the outset come across as a sexpot soccer-mom. So I've flown in the face of "sexism" all my life, but at the same time I appreciate it as a necessary evil inherent to our species survival in the LONG TERM. It'll only get under your skin if you let it, mostly I find the misplaced ignorant rantings that may be considered to fall under it humorous, and the rest I respect to the level of Darwin.

The only ones who hate on you for being a sexpot, aren't getting any....or they are smoking pot.....

I hate that women have to be these being with repressed sexual feelings and men can sit and boast about their "accomplishments"

Earth to men:WOMEN LOVE SEX TOO....and if they don't seem to love it, then you aren't doing it right.

Earth to women: Stop hating on another for their sexual activities, do something productive like take care of your family, or get a hobby that doesn't involve putting your nose in peoples business.

That is all

Disagree. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but I think there are some pretty definite differences between 'men' and 'women' in general. Not about everything, and not in every case, but they are definitely there. It's not sexism- it's social norms, genetics, upbringing, age, culture and probably a little science too.

Of course there are differences, although I would argue they are socially constructed, but my point is that there are greater differences between any two women than between men in general.

Yikes! Talk about a sexist comment! Way to generalize, dude.

What's sexist about it? I don't think you understand my point.

I don't think you understand women.

Does anyone? I don't even understand myself most times.:noway:

hetero-normativity.... I'm just puttin' it out there 'cause it's late, and I don't know any better. "best thing about the opposite sex" posts anyone?

This is why I like to give my 2 cents in every TOM thread that I can.

Yea, it's not always the men though. I put out all the time even if I don't want to.. I GET in the mood. Geeesh.

I'm all for any research that gives us biological permission to be as slutty as humanly possible. Now show me how you weigh those again...

College has forced diversity down everyones throat because of the huge problems of sexism and racism that were and still are rampant in this country. But once again, they went over board. The problem with human beings is that idiots can't understand that if someone is different they are not better or worse, just different. But historically, people have used those differences for their own selfish means and established a racist/sexist class system. Colleges combated this with this bullcrap that we are all so similar. Craig Venter stunned everyone after they mapped the human genome and found 7 times more difference in human races than previously thought. But the main stream media can't report on it because small minded people will use it as an excuse to be bigots.

If there were no difference then why are so many damn womens shoes in my closet?!!!!!!
