Um, wow, haha. Are you religious? That's the only way I can explain the naivety of your statements. You honestly think that the way our bodies are built have nothing to do with evolution? Seriously? And you honestly believe that men and women are born with bodies built the exact same way? Wut? o_______o

I'm confused. You're responding to me, but I pretty much agree with everything you said.

I just hate the sarcastic tone that is taken with this stuff. It's exhausting. A simple article on the differences in mens and womens brains and we can't have a discussion about the data — just bullshit sarcastic responses. I try to type out a coherent paragraph regarding what I think accounts for the differences

Science is not sexism.

Um, I'm a woman? And apparently I'm #teameducation because if you think that there is absolutely no difference between male and female brains then you are sadly misinformed. Believing in science doesn't make me a misogynist, it makes me a realist. You saying that everybody is born with the exact same brain function is

It's also shaped by our reproductive role in society. Studies like this aren't perpetuating gender-essentialist bullshit, it's perpetuated by a society that seems to value certain traits over another. We should all be aware of how our minds work differently from others and for what reasons, and those reasons, and the

They certainly start developing in different ways as a child matures into an adult. The brain is preparing for it's respective reproductive role.

I think it would be difficult to do a study like that, as there are probably certain consequences of growing up in isolation. Humans are social creatures by nature and I think it would be hard to use any data on brain development from an experiment that puts a human being in social isolation. Certainly the way our

That being said, however, there are categorically many reasons why humans can be considered 'superior' to other organisms on the planet, but whether that makes them better, or superior in a moral or ethical sense, is completely separate from those before-mentioned reasons.

I wasn't calling you pompous, I was calling the notion/idea that we have just decided that human beings are be default more important and deserving of respect than animals pompous — which, by definition, is absolutely true. I, in no way, said "You are pompous." I was just voicing my opinion at the idea that we do not

Which also gets to a very important point that breaks down your analogy: women are humans, animals are...not. It's unfortunate, but that's the situation. As much as we love animals, they are not human beings,

It's not just "eating animals" it's about how they treat the animals that we choose to eat/wear. It's deplorable, sad and disgusting — and, quite frankly, a little pompous to imply that human rights, by default, means way more just because we happen to be more intelligent beings. I'm not saying animals > humans, but I

Well, yes, it's clear the system is why there are such disparities but a broken system does not answer her question of why she was lucky enough to be born into the situation she was born into while someone else was born into an entirely different one and suffers greatly. I think the statement she was making was

I love her. She seems so self-aware and genuinely concerned about these issues. Her latest speech upon receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian award was amazing.

That's why it's awesome living in a country where the corporations are the government! None of that pesky living wage legislation! Yay.

How do I somehow understand Courtney Stodden but get just shake my head when Miley speaks?

I almost have to coax him out of his walls. But it gets frustrating when I always have to pull information from him even though I have worked so hard to be more thoughtful, and am very open with my insecurities.

This is almost exactly like my relationship except I'm the stonewaller so maybe it will help? I started going to therapy this year to sort out some emotional baggage — both from my upbringing as well as rather irreperable family drama that has forced me to cope with being excommunicated with 65% of my family for an

Not only do I know the precise character you're describing, I think this reference is fitting...

I can't hear you over all of my slutting about.
