The study controlled for socio economic status.

It's different when you choose to call yourself something, to some stranger shaming your for your personal grooming choices, with the weight of societal pressures behind them. Society tells us every day that there's something wrong with us if we choose not to go along with the current fashion for hair removal, so I…

A "gorilla"? Seriously, fuck you.

Men are actually capable of producing milk and breastfeeding. so I would guess it's a 'backup' in case something happens to the mother's milk supply.

Given that the full-body scanners haven't been shown to prevent one terrorist attack yet, I think that telling trans people their horrible experiences are a necessary part of preventing terrorism a bit inappropriate.

From your link:

"By science", huh? Care to supply some references?
Oh and by the way, it's not just the ligaments that hurt when I'm unsupported, it's the skin too. Feeling one's skin stretch under a heavy weight is an exquisitely uncomfortable sensation, and there's no way you can convince me that skin strengthens itself after being…

Sorry, when something really really hurts I assume it's bad for me.
Also, ligaments are not like muscles, you can't 'exercise' them. The more pressure you put on them, the more they will stretch and weaken.

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!

True, although we are all unfortunately in far less control of our own minds than we think. Consciousness seems to just be a superficial layer on top of a whole system that we cannot control or are even aware of.

It might have sounded fake because it's not his real accent. He's from London so he sounds a bit cockney in real life, I guess they wanted him to put on a different, more 'posh' English accent for Pacific Rim.

Someone didn't read the article. It's not just women, it's most people.

Do you mean Silver Nemesis? To be honest, I did not like that story at all. The weird lady from hundreds of years ago who time travelled using potions in a cauldron and went on about how evil she was, the extremely incompetent Neo-Nazis, there was just too much silly stuff in it.

I think a lot of non-Australians/New Zealanders think it's gross because they have no idea how to use it and when they try it just spread a thick layer on their toast like it's peanut butter or something.

Oh yes, it's got nothing to do with sexism, it's just because 50% of the population is awful, relying on 'the gash' and unsuited to be working in movies!

No problem! In case you were still looking for chia seed recipes, this one is incredible: http://mynewroots.org/site/2011/11/b…

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but just in case: unlike flax seeds, you actually don't need to grind up chia seeds to use them as an egg substitute in baking. Just mix them with some liquid and wait a few minutes for them to gel. Also a great fuss free egg substitute - psyllium husk.

Ah, you're trolling. Fair enough.

Hotbrain was trying to disprove your statement that said that women mostly don't like the prevalence of portrayals of women with their boobs displayed prominently in a sexual way in videogames just because they are jealous of what they don't have. Her example doesn't necessarily bring anything to the discussion at…
