I came here to say exactly this. My biologist friend practically laughed out loud when he heard this. The nuclear family unit of mother/father/child(ren) that humans have is the exception, not the rule. Not to mention all that incest and cannibalism that goes on in nature.

I pointed out lionnesses on Twitterz this morning - about as literal "bringing home the bacon*" as it gets.

Hyena fun fact! The have super long clits that they use to penetrate dude hyenas!

Thanks for mentioning bonobos. People always seem to point at chimps to explain our behaviour when we're just as related to bonobos and their society is quite a bit different than ours. Matriarchal, little conflict, sharing and working together, and boning for pretty much any reason, no matter the gender.

When you're willing to commit naturalistic fallacies, you can justify any treatment of human women as being for 'their own good'. 'Hey, chimps have a patriarchal structure, and we're LIKE chimps, right? So back in the kitchen! It's NATURAL for you!' apparently is the de rigeur at Fox News.

Thing is, if you're paying $20 for new jeans they were definitely made in a sweatshop somewhere. Possibly Bangladesh. I mean, we wouldn't even have the expectation that we could buy clothes that cheap without living in a world of dodgy and often fatal labour practices.

According to this expert in chimpanzees http://www.amazon.com/Chimpanzee-Pol… females are definitely not subisive in this species either. The dominant male of the group has to be supported by the dominant female and if he isn't there is war for months until a winner is decided. I really recommend this book. It is…

Not to mention the fact that the majority of animals don't form long-term, monogamous bonds. If we are taking a cue from nature, shouldn't these "dominant" males be running around trying to ensure they impregnate as many females as possible to ensure their genes are passed on?

Aren't females the hunters in at least some feline species too? I feel like the female does the hunting and then bring it back to the male, who has been lazing about in the grass all day. This is why we always got female cats when we had mice in the barn!

Let's add spiders, hyenas, OH, and my favorite is the seahorse where the males are actually impregnated by the females and bear their young.

Oh, get out here with your "common sense" and your "facts".

Elephants, too. Don't mess with the matriarch.

Pink for the sink! Blue for the poo! lol.

I have a friend whose mother is a nurse, and she has attended similar seminars. In her case, it seemed to be a generational thing. Older nurses were more likely to do the job properly - as in, water as warm as you can stand, fronts, backs, wrists, under nails, etc. The young ones would just rush through the whole…

In the case of a person with a disorder which may be weight related, an adequate medical history would include food and exercise habits. I specialize in diabetes, and for every Coke-swilling, doughnut-gobbling diabetic I meet, I meet two who have tried extensively lifestyle modifications, or live a fairly healthy…

Oh, The Smiths are one of my absolute favorite bands of all time! Anything of theirs is great- and this song is bril for a break up!

On the plus side, if we do a little extrapolating, it looks like it's going to bottom out after about 4-5, so if you're already over 5, might as well keep going.

Seriously can't decide who is more annoying in the Jenner/Cobain feud. Seriously. Both of you. Go to your rooms and get off my lawn.

So if I remarry I guess my chances of a having a lifelong lasting relationship is 0.005%, lol.

Yeah. Slut feminism ruined everything!
