I agree that improvements are harder for men because they have been encouraged to achieve in athletics for such a long time. The argument that men are stronger than women is only partially accurate, though, since women are still improving at a high rate. Who knows how far the top athletes will go when we are truly…

I would say it is hard to fend off an attack if you are not trained in self defense, no matter how strong you are. Besides, it isn't as if rapists randomly select their victims. They drug and/or attack people (sometimes with guns) who are weak so that they can overpower them. It's the same when it comes to men…

If you look at male versus female world records or Olympic scores, you'll see, particularly in running. Below I have provided one example of the information.

We can't assume that all the differences in physical ability are due to unavoidable biological ones rather than societally enforced ones. Women have improved a lot over the last 50 years, while men have stagnated. There has been some improvement, but overall women have made much larger leaps in athleticism due to the…

Wow. Straight privilege > male privilege? I don't think we have to make this into a competition. Females are more likely to be aborted or left to die, more likely to be abused, can't be priests even if they are celibate...we all have sucky experiences with the current environment. However, you asked a question that…

I don't think anyone here thinks that men can't care for kids or should never have custody. Women are just as capable of being bad parents. What people here fight against is misconceptions about women and men and how they use child support. More women are single parents and the fathers are not in the picture. Many…

I've had something similar happen to me. I mean, not with sex toys, but with stuff I have put under the bed either accidentally or on purpose (underwear, a teddy bear) and have found it sitting neatly on the bed later. Not that the rest of the story is or isn't realistic, but I thought I'd shed my two cents on part of…

Ah. Well, get your car an umbrella? It seems easier and more justifiable, somehow, than being cruel to an entire species. Maybe that's just me. It just seems like a lot of work.

This is why humanity is doomed.

I said this to another person: I volunteered at a farm rescue where there were hundreds of geese of various types, and they were all really sweet. Especially the white geese and this one huge gray goose, who was the de facto leader of all the geese. They followed him around and he acted like a put-upon old man. It was…

I volunteered at a farm rescue where there were hundreds of geese of various types, and they were all really sweet. Especially the white geese and this one huge gray goose, who was the de facto leader of all the geese. They followed him around and he acted like a put-upon old man. It was quite funny. The only time…

Is this just a bad joke? I'm hoping you realize that acting in a cruel way towards animals is not relatable at all to plant perception. I've heard this argument before from people who want to continue eating meat without guilt, so forgive me if I'm misinterpreting.

I apparently did this on one flight when I was two. My mom tried everything - holding my legs, distracting me with my favorite games, singing quietly, bribery - but I just wouldn't stop kicking this poor old guy's seat. For the whole ride. I was such a brat. However, later in life we discovered a health problem that…

Darn, Kinja cut my post off. I had posted a few things from Nelson Mandela, but I think the most relevant quote is: "I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing whether it comes from a black man or a white man."

What bullshit are you talking about? You say you want a rational discussion, but I have yet to see you make a single point. People create generalizations? Congrats, they do. You have some generalizations about feminists, other people have generalizations about men who have generalizations about feminists. However, the…

I didn't mean you specifically as picking on her, just "you all" as a way to mean that everyone here was piling on.

It also seems a little terrible that someone on Jezebel would call her "waity Katie," as the media dubbed her. They had no idea that she wanted to get married - maybe William wanted to and she wasn't ready, but because she is a woman, they assumed she was marriage-crazy. Don't support the media! :)

I know you've been picking on Caelrie (I do think s/he is mistaken in her approach and some of her ideas), but I just want to point out that making fun of people based on their race, even if they are the majority and oppressors, just further alienates us as people. Personally, I think Fox News is full of shit and…

She was also a buyer for a store called Jigsaw, which is an actual job she did full time.

People can get interested in animals in a lot of ways that don't involve having animals in small enclosures, forced to perform for people. Many zoos are expanding their footprint in order to give the animals the opportunity to practice natural behaviors. The dolphins and orcas at SeaWorld can't do that. It's still not…
