You know that nerve count is absolute bullshit and comes from a nearly 100 year old guestimation? Don't believe me? Bring me the original source of any peer-reviewed claim. They all lead back to it. Trust me, I've spent hours looking because I thought it would make for a very good argument against male circumcision.…

"Absolute failure" excuse me? You're the one barging into 2 year old articles like a creepy fuck throwing around red-herrings and embarrassing science. To have you know I'm exceedingly against male circumcision, and have probably done far more in my life to prevent it. I've started petitions, rallied with local…

that makes no sense. If it is a shear face and you can't use your lower body at all, then how are you using your upper? Literally, what are you grabbing that a foot, knee, or thigh not hold any traction with? If you are climbing this hypothetical shear face, then you have to do far more than 3 pull-ups, you need to…

Because, of course, that only ever happens to women.

You are a fool to think that the women's european and asian teams are not talented. you need to do some more research, but that's besides the point....So let me get this straight.....Abby Wambach's, Mia Hamm's, etc accomplishments are not significant because they win? and the men's are because they don't dominate?…

"It's just basic speech and leaving off unnecessary qualifiers."

I would hope the solder would be smart enough to use their lower body to help climb out of the hole, over the fence, etc. That is not a pull up motion.

On the one hand, yes, there are physiological differences. On the other, let's look at something only tangentially related: this year, three women have completed the first stage of American Ninja Warrior (no woman has completed it prior to this season). Two of the three are relatively "tiny" women, the third is…

You're assuming ALL men are better, faster, stronger, whatever than ALL women. That is not true, and it's sexist to believe it.

No, women are not "off brand."

"Sorry, but as a troll..."

Valerie Alexander did not write about men and women "being equal in athletic competition". She asked that sportscasters talk about "men's sports" and "women's sports" instead of "sports" and "women's sports". The difference is that, if you call it "men's sports", you are acknowledging that women's sports are not an…

Which is why it wouldn't be at all out of the ordinary for sports commentators to refer to female athletes as the "top female ___," because they usually compete separately. So then why can't we refer to male athletes by the same criteria ("top male scorer") to differentiate them? If they're two different tournaments,…

I think your anger is clouding your logic. All the author is saying is that Landon Donovan is not actually the "all-time U.S. leading goal scorer" because there are U.S. women who have scored more goals than he has. It is more accurate to say that he is the all-time U.S. leading men's goal scorer. Why should it be so…

You are reading wrong. Valerie is not arguing that the athletes are equal in strength, stamina, etc. She is querying why men's accomplishments are rarely qualified as such but women's accomplishments nearly always are. Donovan is literally not the US all-time leading goal scorer. It is both accurate and acknowledges…

I think you're missing the point entirely. The author is simply saying that he descriptor "men's" should be used when talking about men's sports the same way the descriptor "women's" is used for women's sports.

We have to stop assuming that the male position is objective, unbiased, nonpartisan, with no need to be qualified as male.

I enjoy that in 2014, luddites now include people who don't want remotely controlled hormone microchips implanted in their bodies and people who don't see the point of Google Glass. Thanks a lot, future!

When I said that some aspects of female sexuality are neglected, I wasn't referring to the number of layman's nonfiction books being published on the subject. I was referring to actual scientific research, for instance to understand the causes of various sexual dysfunctions and how to treat them. There is medication…

You're kidding right? Expressing distaste as to your choice of words isn't "judgment": this is a forum where opinions are exchanged. If you can't handle that, settle down on the posting.
