Exactly. Bingo. Now, if there's this pervasive attitude that women are callow universally, I'm fairly certain it would be harder for women to get some sort of job where bravery or daring is a pre-requisite. Even if they're incredibly more brave and qualified than the next 5 fellows.[/QUOTE]

Uh, this is true, especially in physically demanding jobs. Not many women can make the cut for Special Ops training and compete with their male classmates. Not that some don't, mind you, but the ratio is definitely skewed towards the male side. Men are wired for competition and combat, women are wired for making and taking care of babies.[/QUOTE]

Okay, did you gloss over the part where I said "if the girl was more qualified than the next 5 fellows"? I'm not saying I want police officers that can't restrain a suspect in the name of equality. I am saying that if a woman is qualified, she should have an equal shot at a job even if it's traditionally held by a man. And I think it's harder for them to get that equal shot IF people believe the stereotypes about women. So that's why I 'rage' and 'white knight' against people even passing them off as a joke.

My experience as a preschool teacher gave me a different perspective on the bug thing. I had the same number of squeamish girls and squeamish boys when it came to bugs. But I did notice that the girls were more likely to be TOLD that they shouldnt touch bugs or snakes because they are germy or whatever.

I don't think it is some genetic predisposition as much as environmentally ingrained.

Also wtf does rearing babies have to do with liking Glee? Seriously. I do not know a single female who likes that show but I know quite a few guys. And by saying that those guys are acting in a "female" way is ignoring the possibility that maybe the preconceived gender notion of what is or is not a proper way for someone to behave by gender is incorrect. Instead people choose to ignore that possibility and just say that the men are acting contrary to their genetic gender when in fact the decision of what traits fit the genetic gender are societally constructed and highly subjective.

Oh it works in reverse too. How many stories have you heard where a qualified male was passed up for a job because the less qualified woman had a nice ass.

Men, women or spiders? I dont know what this thread is about anymore. I mean can spiders kill you or cause sexism? Can sexism give you extra legs, spin webs and make you move to Australia?

I just dont know.....I just dont know...

I wish I could find that Gary Larson comic of the female spider being hollered at by two male spiders: "Hey baby, 'those legs go all the way up???"

No, but really, spiders are terrible.

Dude, I want a pet spider like that to tie up near the entrance of a store. That would rock. I wouldn't even have to feed it, I could just sort of wait around till someone with a German shepherd had to tie up their dog as well :sneaky:

Y'know, for salmon, I've found coconut oil really adds some nice taste. Try it sometime. Just toss it in the pan raw on some slightly molten coconut oil, don't add too many spices. Yummy.
