Need I requote my difference between individualism & sociological differences?

I know you're not thick, Charlie. I just never understood well-meaning blindness to obvious social differentiation. How is it that we can see these differences zoologically in every species but when it comes to Humans suddenly genetics take a back seat to our supposedly rising above our millions of years of genetic imprinting with our wonderful couple of thousand years of "intelligence"?

Women & men are different. Nothing we can do about it and I for one am glad that the differences are there.
Heh, as a man, I bet you're glad for those differences HEH

read this: http://www2.bc.edu/~barretli/pubs/1998/ ... etal98.pdf

here's the important bit:
Implications
These findings have several major implications. First, sex differences in emotional experience are not as pervasive as the stereotype suggests. Men and women do not differ dramatically in their immediate reports of emotional experience, even in contexts that are differentially relevant for men and women (control vs. intimacy). This finding raises the possibility that women’ s ``greater emotionality’ ’ is a culturally constructed idea, based on observed differences in emotional expression - differences which are socialised from a very early age. Second, investigators should be wary of including only global, retrospective self-descriptions of emotional experience when conducting research on affective experience. Self-report ratings of this type, although informative, may provide a skewed picture of the emotional life of a person - a picture skewed in the direction of supporting gender-based stereotypes about emotion.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Kissinger and Charlie with this one, although M_D's got a point too. I want to see where this goes.

Good thing they made this. I almost forgot that I was only allowed to care about my thighs, my hair, men, and snacks that don't make me feel --*teehee*-- guilty!

:confused: I must have been left out of that particular summit meeting. Which is just as well, as I'm not sure I could have signed that treaty in good faith.

Dagnabbit, I've really gotta get those hivemind uplinks working again. Make things so much easier.

All I'm saying is that the boards are getting a little... tenser than usual, so a quick ceasefire might be a good idea, at least until people stop looking at each other's heads like they'd make a tasty snack. Just a suggestion.

The difference between genders is something that we discuss a lot in my major. If you area guy, you're automatically at more risk of dropping out than a girl for many reasons.

-First, since there are usually more female elementary school teachers, they tend identify more with the girls. Boys often get punished more often because people assume they are going to make more trouble--"boys will be boys", anyone?

-Second, it's been noted that boys and girls start to split off at about age 13 when it comes to preferences in literature. This is most likely a culture thing, but that's the way it is now. And these female teachers are often selecting reading material for the class that these boys find irrelevant or uninteresting.

-Third, boys are more likely to become emotionally disturbed or depressed, because they are not encouraged to share their feelings as often as girls. Girls are expected and "allowed" to let things out, while boys are expected to be tough.

Of course, these are all trends that have been noted--none are absolutes. But those are the gender-based challenges I face. There is my part, I guess... not exactly what we're talking about, I suppose, but I thought it was interesting.

Ok what is everyone who is getting upset* getting upset about? Besides the bad animation and lousy voice acting I thought it was kind of cute. It's like an animated Cosmo.


* i am not asking kissinger and charlie because I know they are upset because their man panties are constantly in a twist anyway.

Confession: When I see 'liberal' used as an insult in any other sense than 'overly permissive', I twitch involuntarily.

Don't people know that a "liberal" is someone who follows Liberalism, as laid out by John Locke? A system which is almost very very very very libertarian at it's core?

Can't we retire using Liberal and Conservative as slurs, and instead replace them with Left-leaning and Right-leaning? They make so much more sense

I like being called liberal. I don't see it as a slur. Just because some people use it in the negative doesn't mean we need to throw a word out.
 
It's amazing how a simple joke readily turns into a political thread, with labels and insults thrown around.

CDS is a better troll than A Troll.

*Typing that last sentence, than reading it aloud makes me twitch inside. :eek:rly:
