you're totally right. Thought it should also be mentioned that under Missouri's definition of forcible rape (a much more serious crime) it would be fairly easy to prosecute Mr Bernett. It's not 100% clear cut, but it's not a difficult case to make.

I must have remembered wrong

I read about it a little while ago. Either what I read was wrong or I remembered it wrong.

I thought it was the other way around. If you're the photographer, you can do what you like. If it's someone else's selfie you can't post it.

That's how they get you,

That's how they get you!

Don't feed the trolls, chums.

Am I the only one bothered by the description of the raptor as scaley? Feathers people, raptors had feathers.

I'm not sure if your knowledge of chromosomal abnormalities extends beyond the wiki page (mine doesnt much). But do you know where the Y chromosome is in XXXY? Is it in the 23rd or 24th pair? Does it make a difference?

Re: the bang for you buck comment. The higher skill level brackets do see a higher pays scale, though it can't be entirely attributed to simply skill. It's not clear that skill is the only reason why the NBA runs a higher pay scale than the WNBA. Just the simple fact that the audience is mostly men and would rather…

I forgot to bring up this.

It's certainly not peer-reviewed but is more exact that I would have pulled together. It also ends with a bit on women in combat which I disagree with. I dont think combat and sport can be adequately compared. My ignorant experience suggests that soldiering…

For your first sentence, "this time..." Im not sure what you're referring to.

Im not so sure the the number of people that visibly present as women but have 47 (or more) chromosomes could be described as "a lot" (or alot, I'm sorry, the Hyperbole and a Half fan in me couldn't let it go). It's my understanding that most…

Ok, bad news, turns out my excel skills (and excel version) are not sufficient to make a nice curve. But I will point out that men don't dominate women as much as I had thought they would in the 100m dash. However, in the semi finals of the mens there was a japanese man, a chinese man and persian among them. And also…

Let me start off by saying that I have sort of admitted, and will now fully admit to being wrong on co-ed involvement.

You're missing a lot of details for education. First, I'm not opposed to boys only or girls only schools as options. The exist from primary schools up to the undergraduate level and are successful.…

Ah shit, I'm gonna have to compile the data of every 100m runner from the 2012 olympics. I'll get back to you on that. Picking only the fastest times runners doesnt give a significant sample. And since this is just a discussion on jezebel, Im not going to go get a grant to pursue a survey on 100m sprinters, looking at…

It's entirely dependant on what the numbers are. You said 17 men have scored 900 pts. How many professional bowlers have there been? if the percentage of male bowlers able to score 900 pts is only 0.01% and there are only 1000 female bowlers then it's possible that that same percentage applies to women as well, even…

no, but female participation in bowling could be. I just mean that poorer performance could potentially be explained by something other than biology. Take for instance a score I would get bowling. It would be terrible, I have no skill, though not because I'm not physical able. But because I really don't care about…

Maybe the bottom left is a man in skinny jeans and socks? Maybe bottom right is coming back from a business meeting and challenging gender stereotypes by not over-packing?

I'm rationalizing aren't I?

I will certainly admit to a significant lack of knowledge for bowling. But is ball speed correlated success of shots? Do you need to throw it as hard as you can do to better? I was under the impression that once you've reached the requisite force for a good shot, its more about finesse and other techniques that make…

that tournament has specific requirements to *how* it's co-ed though. I wonder how female athletes would fair in a curling gender free-for-all. I.E. how an all womens team would do against a mens team, or how a mixed team would do.
