I wonder if there’s been follow up studies where they compared things like DIY and auto maintenance, these are just as important, just as much hard work and something people of either gender should be able to do equally. The goal is not to make the division of chores equal, it is to make them equitable.

This. This is how it should be.

I don’t know why this is still even a thing... None of the guys I know would be against being proposed to. Yet still, I don’t know anywomen that proposed.

So your type is stuck up, half-witted, scruffy looking Nerf herders?

Okay, okay, I bow to the Star Wars fans in the audience.

lol, are any of us?

Really? How did they prove this? I find it hard to believe they asked any guy “Why do you splay your legs?” and he answered “To prove I am the dominant male in this carriage, rawr!”

60 is middle aged only if you expect to live to 120.

Isn’t life expectancy in the high 70s in most countries? 37 is pretty much in the middle of middle aged. Scary, huh?

Because I firmly believe there’s a Terry Pratchett quote for all occasions:

I glared at her. She probably did not notice. But I felt vindicated.

It usually takes the form of bags being strategically placed on the seat next to them.

Star Wars was released in 1977. He was in his 30s then, which is comfortably middle aged. That was almost 40 years ago.

“with a charming irascibly that bodes very well for the characterization of middle-aged Han Solo.”

Ok, I normally try play devil’s advocate or at least benefit of the doubt on Jezebel, in name of balance if nothing else, but damn, here I got nothing...

I just did a quick google on this and yeah, it’s bad. I’m at work and my mobile won’t let me post the graphs, but google intergenerational mobility.

You know, for a supposedly egalitarian society, the US has a lot of political dynasties...

Most tellingly: Even after conducting this gender-based research project for 3 years, the primary researcher didn’t know there was a difference between sex and gender.

It’s impractical (read: not really plausible), but if you believe that in sentencing someone to jail time they are likely to be punished in a manner and to an extent beyond what is prescribed you should refuse to sentence someone.
