Link please. Here's some interesting info. (Gleaned from here.) Regardless, we could spend all night finding conflicting data, but there's no point. Of course women abuse their kids. I've never said they didn't. I even said up there that women make up about 50% of all child molestors. So...

I'm presenting them because they are relevant and important. Oh good lord, what a load of shit that is...a bunch of info about "fatherless homes" from studies that don't control for class and economic factors...brilliant! Edit: By the way, that "statistic" about single mothers being 50% of the...

What "issue"??? How can you possibly have an issue with facts simply because you don't like how they sound? I'm sorry this conflicts with your mental image of how the world is, but men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to commit crimes. Criminals, on average, have much higher...

What on earth does "50% by single mums" mean? That is not even a statistically possible measurement. Can I have some sort of link to your sources, btw? Where are you getting this information? There won't be "technically more women" doing anything, unless you can prove there are with some kind...

Research has concluded that there IS something wrong with some men's brains, and with some women's brains (but far, far fewer of them), when it comes to violence and psychopathy. It has also concluded, in the case of men, but not in the case of women (though there is some evidence that female...

Uuuggghh. NOOO. You still don't get it. I'm really beginning to think is a futile discussion. I NEVER said patriarchy was "engineered" by men. As with any longstanding cultural tradition, patriarchy is something that largely came into being as a product of a bunch of accidents--cultural...

Lanugo wins thread. I watched Suddenly Last Summer recently. A Tennesse Williams/Gore Vidal collab.

Biology. It's actually much, much harder than it seems like it would be. Biology obeys nobody's logical rules, it's unpredictable, and beyond that, it's not even really a discipline... it's interdisciplinary to the point of being almost impossible to understand to any meaningful degree without...

Btw, I think Grizzle meant to say pre-frontal cortex dementia up there, which is different from damage, and ultimately has more to do with sociopathy or psychopathy than it does violent crime per se--two different but often overlapping domains, those.

What are you talking about? Patriarchy DOES have "relevance" to our current political situation, since it IS our current political situation. Matriarchy DOES have "relevance" to our current political situation insofar as it is a counterexample of what's possible when power isn't unequally...

No, I think you're right, and I think your point applies to feminism and to Marxism--although more on the theory end than the practice end. Padraig--the "prison inmates" thing would most likely apply across the board, because high testosterone levels are found even in white collar criminals...

Is there some kind of proof or statistical evidence that the court doesn't "enforce" custody arrangements, or is this just something people say because it sounds like it could be true? I'm not sure about the U.K., but I'm positive that in the U.S. this is not a big problem; everything gets...

This is because it gets tossed around by stupid groups like Pat Robertson's, and The Promise Keepers, and people on this message board, even though statistically there's little to the claims. The laws regarding marriage and divorce and child custody are a bunch of labyrinthine weirdness: yes...

It takes a village to raise a bunch of male losers, Grizzle. Where were you during the Clinton administration? Living in a cave?

Thanks for checking in, now I can proceed with my day without any lingering questions...

I mean, I realize that many people feel a lot of anxiety about bodily fluids/functions, and often the only thing to do to alleviate anxiety when you can't do anything else is to laugh. But I'm not anxious. I'm ok with bodily fluids. And with bodily functions. Your veins are full of blood...

I wasn't joking.

Harhar. Bodily functions are hilaaarious. (Almost as funny as puns...) Did I stumble into the middle school cafeteria or did I wake up on the wrong side of the short bus again today?

Yeah, I like those. It's like, what happens when women "get hormonal", really? They eat something calorie dense or perhaps get curt with the douchebags in their life to whom they've been trained to defer in all things. (Nothing worse than a woman with opinions, especially one who thinks she...

Dude, you don't even need to book any reservations. I showed up in Amsterdam without any clue where I was going to stay in a group of three people and we just went to a travel agency and waited in line for a half hour, then they gave us a room in a hotel for $250/night. It wasn't palatial...
