For what it's worth, I can be pretty crazy loud. Like, scream at the top of my lungs loud. And it's *all* for me. The best proof I can offer of this is that it happens even when I'm masturbating alone. (I know, you're saying "usually," so I get that I may just be the exception.) Here's the thing I've found, though:…

Incidentally, I tend towards thinking evolutionary psych is BS, too. But I have a friend who is into feminist evo-psych, which is how I know about Hrdy and whatnot. :)

Well I'm an instructor in women's studies.

That's standard evo-psych dogma, but it's not a perspective that all evolutionary psychologists hold. There are a number of feminist evolutionary psychologists such as Sarah Hrdy who have radically reconceptualized typical evo-psych BS. Sounds like this book is in that vein.

At the risk of getting you accused of white knighting, I gotta say:

Courtney at the beginning of that interview is right out of Best In Show. I was just waiting for, "We both like soup."

It is dark.

MORGAN FREEMAN WOULD NEVER. :(

I know. That was the joke. :)

D'AWWW PUPPIES.

There, there.

I THINK THERE IS A HOTLINE FOR THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO BRING IT TO JEZEBEL.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE. WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOUUUU?!

Doh. Penabler! Don't do this! Now I want to know why you feel that way, but I don't want to ruin otters, dolphins and penguins for myself! :P

I read it yesterday but I didn't comment because I felt like I was just echoing others' thoughts. I think you sound like you're in a place where you can handle it, and obviously you're curious. I'm not sure why you wouldn't say yes at this point, based on your own comments. It doesn't sound like you have much to lose.

AHHH. Thank you. I had failed to realize that. :)

That was me. You may get a few more notifications. I was sharing and unsharing it, trying to see if I could include any text, because it only shows up on GT as a link. I couldn't figure it out, though. Oh, well. People will get it. :)

Oh, you mean she shared the post from yesterday? Ok, I thought you meant THIS post. I will go ahead and share this. I can't figure out how to write any message around it, though. Oh well. People will figure it out. :)

Oh, ok. I have been sharing and unsharing it, trying to figure out how to write an intro to it. (I thought we could do that now?) But if someone else already shared it, I'll stop worrying about it! :)

Pssst. No one hangs out on these threads. Well, I mean, not NO ONE. But Groupthink is a lot more active. You want me to share this comment there?
