Sorry, what's this got to do with the Volkswagen commercial we were talking about?

Well, women are pushing to be able to be on the front line along with men, and as for the draft, there shouldn't be one at all. What's your point?

Hmm I guess I haven't checked the labels on one of those jars in awhile, I only buy peanut butter that's made out of peanuts and nothing else now. I don't remember noticing the difference when I switched though, although I did notice the lack of salt!

I do the same thing with American recipes, even the healthy ones with natural sweeteners tend to advise an amount which is too sweet for me.
I'm Australian and peanut butter here doesn't tend to have sugar added (though it usually does have emulsifiers and salt). The last few years I've been getting peanut butter that…

How much time do you spend talking to feminists? Equal gender representation in science and engineering fields is a big issue.
You are again underestimating the effect that society has on our choices. Human beings do not consciously, independently and rationally make most of our choices. Fact: we are strongly affected…

The thing about social conditioning is that you don't realise it's happening. It's a constant low level reinforcement of messages that add up to very real effects on thoughts, values and behaviour of every member of society.

What, seriously? You think that there's some special ' interested in engineering' gene in the Y chromosome or something? If women 'don't want to be engineers' and men do, that does not come from a vacuum.

Seeing as they were casting actors, I don't think it would have been too hard to cast more than one woman in a big group of engineers. There aren't many women engineers because society thinks women don't like/aren't suited to engineering, so ads like this only reinforce that perception, when they didn't have to.

I'm being obtuse? I'm not the one ignoring established canon in the show. Saying 'the Doctor lies' is very different from picking and choosing lines from the show, considering the ones you like as canon and the ones you don't like as 'lies' or 'jokes'.

But maybe the x-rays were also a joke? Maybe the whole episode of The Deadly Assassin was also a joke, and the 12 regeneration limit isn't actually canon!

So you're saying both the line about having different amounts of heads, and the line about the Corsair regenerating into different genders are jokes? What basis do you have for that? It seems that you are just saying anything canon that you don't like in the show is 'a joke' and doesn't count. There is nothing to…

Ill just have to disagree with you women and men are very different mentally and physically. Not intellectually but it is differnt on what they focus on ect. Its built in its nature and not a nurture thing.

I didn't say anything about Neil Gaiman, I mentioned something that the 9th Doctor said just before he regenerated, that is that he could regenerate into anything such as having no head or two heads. However different you think men and women are (the differences are actually pretty minor) regenerating to have more or…

Neither Wonder Woman, Princess Leia or James Bond are shapeshifting aliens who get a completely new body and personality every few years, so any comparison between them and the Doctor is pretty pointless.

Doctor Who has always been about change, which is how it is still around 50 years later. You think people didn't get pissed off when Patrick Troughton played a younger, clownish version of the Doctor? When they cast Tom Baker, the youngest actor to play the Doctor so far? However people still kept watching, as they…

Nothing is ever that simple where the human body is concerned, unfortunately.

Haha I guess I've had to get good at height conversions as I'm 189 cm tall but when I was growing up all the adults asked me my height in feet and inches :P

6'1" is actually about 185 cm, so still a fair way off 2 metres!

I'm rather disappointed by the seemingly prevalent notion that Christopher Ecclestone owes us something. He had a bad experience on the show, and doesn't want to come back, as is his right.

Disgusting? Really? I'm rather disappointed by the seemingly prevalent notion that Christopher Ecclestone owes us something. He had a bad experience on the show, and doesn't want to come back, as is his right.
