My god he is dividing like asexual worms.

Atheist simply means Without Theism, A-Theist. Asexual, Asymmetric, etc.

With the current horrible state of public schools, if you want your kid to be able to simply Read and Write you better either home school or go upscale Private. I would never ever EVER send my kids to a public high school aka zoo.

In my high school days the study of various religions was conducted in a class called Comparative Religion. Nowadays it's likely called yo mama suk dik biyatch or something equally intelligent.

I'll vote for the right to teach religion in the classroom when they devote equal time to the Church of Wicca.

Maybe the reason we haven't noticed any alien radio signals yet is because civilizations take billions of years to evolve and the time between the discovery of radio and nuclear annihilation is typically less than 0.00000025% of that because idiots eventually get the nuclear codes.


<irne>Maybe they're all asexual and have bi-curious relationships that are not tied to propagation of their species. Thus, god hates fags! (Brimstone, spacefrogs, killing of first brood, making the rivers flow blue, etc)</irne>

While you do a good job pointing out some perceived flaws, am curious to find out what you would do to reverse this trend? I think alot of what you mention is actually sociological and natural in our society. What you are pushing for is as DjSunKid said an extremist stance of feminism.

While there are women who strive to be the leaders in their profession and achieve something for themselves, there is a large segment of the female population that is quite alright with fitting in the stereotype of being female, of dressing up, of being sexy, of being chased, screeching when they see a mouse and looking for a big strong man. There is a entire industry centered around this. This is a standard that has been psychologically upheld by society as a whole, and women themselves. Something I see alot in the society where I live, the Arab world, very few girls try hard here because why should they? They are going to marry a Arabian Istallion and have kids and shop in Gucci and Versace. They are perfectly happy in that role.

I think some of that is social, some of it is psychological from media exposure, the barbie dolls, the princess stories and so on that build up a psychological outlook that some connect with and accept as their own and some reject.

For example look at someone like Ayn Rand.

I talked to a lot of medical students, some of them were female, most of them were heading to OBYGN and pediatrics, both deal with kids and children. They choose to do so. You will hardly find many women in the role of surgeon for example. Is this discrimination?

Back in University I had a chance to befriend a woman in her 50s who was doing adult education, she looked and acted alot like a man. Probing her previous profession she told me she was a construction foreman. She explained that for co workers and clients to take her seriously she had to adopt a hard exterior, or else no one would have obeyed her as a boss or took her seriously managerially. But she had no quams about this, she said certain businesses require male standpoint, not to mean the sex but the qualities, hard, aggressive and stubborn.

Look at how Hillary Clinton tried to meld her campaign, did it pay for her to play on her female side? did it pay for her to become more manly? Then look at someone like Margaret Thatcher. She was asexual as far as am concerned in her politics.

The equality of sexes has been reached, and there has been large progress since the 1800s and the suffrage movement. Women have the right to vote, work, enter politics, and professional occupations. There is still inequality when it comes to pay scale but I believe this is balancing out now in the world economy because administration and business is gender neutral most of the time. Results are far more important.

But does it mean the higher echelons of power are male dominated? Not at all. Germany, Bangladesh, US and many other nations have females who reached high levels of power. There is an abundance of strong female role models.

With regards to the comments on this website, this is the internet the demographic of this website is in the 18-25 range most are students, many are lonely introverted types. Most are male, some are here before or after being to a porn site. This goes a long way to describe the "Omfg shes hot" type of comments.

With regards to cinema and the like, its business. Its marketing and demographics, one shouldn't read too much into it.

The problem Hollywood has with creating female heroes is that they work on base levels so they push a hard women, which is psychologically constructed in such a way as being Bitchy. This is frankly because people in Hollywood think on those levels, they never deal in complicated characters. They need standardized themes, of conflict, and love and very often a strange sex scene where you didn't expect one.

Take the example of Lara Croft that was made into two films. The video game portrayed her as a smart intelligent royal who did tomb raids. Instead of vividly exploring this, by way of Batman orgins where she say fell into a cave and explored and developed into a tom boy and found a ancient dagger or something, they instead went simply with telling the audience that she is that way because her daddy was like that. Because Hollywood producers are idiots and they are desperately trying to connect and hit that 15-20 year demographic that needs to see a tit.

whoa whoa whoa...my merry woodland creatures are TOTALLY asexual.

Yeah...unfortunately it's thought that this type of asexual breeding weakens the genepool immensely. In the wild if conditions necessitate asexual breeding then things are most likely in trouble for the species in question...Absolute last ditch effort to multiply before extinction sets in or while in captivity. Now after the shark discovery mammals are the only vertebrates (as far as I know) shown to have no evidence of this type of reproduction...so far. Amazing stuff nonetheless...

her? him? Is Siftbot asexual? You know some invertebrates can change sexes when needed, does Sifty too have this ability?

Actually this isn't me at all--Chris is just a poi artist I particularly enjoy. I'm awful at poi and about 150% female. *grin* If enough folks don't care for it I can always withdraw it--no problem. I'll upload a photo of myself to my profile since my handle is rather asexual.

This is especially funny because, as an intense biology nerd, I know about the history of how we got our SEEDLESS (hint) bananas...

"The domestic banana that we know and love is an asexual clone, one that results from the sedate, artificial act of vegetative propagation."

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0726_wirebanana.html

"The banana originated from seed bearing relatives in south-east Asia and the Pacific. The wild relatives were inedible, however a cross between two produced a sterile plant that has developed or been shaped into the varieties of edible banana and plantain growing today. Once this new edible fruit was discovered, it was spread using “suckers,” or offshoots from the base of the plant, perhaps being the first fruit farmed by man."

Yes, wild bananas, 'as God intended them', have hella seeds (as the kids say), and are inedible. These guys really need to do just minimal amounts of research before they make these ridiculous anti-evolution pieces. Just like every 'good' piece of evidence against evolution, after a little research it ends up being exactly the opposite. Mutation and the hand of man had a huge part in crafting that banana he's holding ... oooh, the irony.
