It’s still an amazing statistic to find suspected behavior wasn’t being misattributed to CTE in nearly 100% of cases. That means suspicions about vague, common symptoms like depression and violence being CTE in football players are 1) 100% accurate in determining the scope and extent of the problem, or 2) are tip of…

People dating there doppelgangers is a thing. It’s very apparent when it is a same sex couple.

It’s a statistical distribution, which means it doesn’t theoretically exclude an outlier in one population from outperforming an outlier from another population which has a better performing mean. It’s highly unlikely, but theoretically possible. It’s also conceivable, however unlikely, that a women may someday be…

Candyland sucks as an adult. It’s completely random. I’d rather roll a die to see who won and then move on to a glass of whiskey/wine and then adult reminiscing by ranking Halloween candy.

For my transgender sisters for sure. For me, most men don’t really care about who is in the bathroom. It’s an in-and-out affair (sometimes without hand washing). Plus, people don’t think of transgender men when they think of transgender people. If on hormones, we are fairly invisible. But while you are wishing me good…

I have seen equally disgusting thing both, but the men’s is reliably disgusting. My wife sometimes asks me to take our daughter the men’s restroom in public city parks and finally I had to say “hello no, I can expose my daughter to that.” However bad it is the women’s the men’s is worse.

The former. Though I have no problem with the latter since the line in the women’s can be ridiculously wrong. Now reading male I stay away from the multi-stall womens as it can get some shrieks. Some of my trans friends stayed a little to long in the women’s, nervous to switch, until a shocked stare or gasp gave them…

Recently transitioned from using the women’s to the men’s room. I knew some women plan their day around NOT pooping at a public/work restroom, my wife one of them. What I didn’t realize is some men plan there day to poop in a public/work restroom.

Fair enough. Thanks for the conversation.

You dodged the question. Should things like IBS, severe joint pain (aka, knee replacements), and erectile disfunction be treated as routine health care? These are not a result of in-the-line of duty injuries, they are not life-threatening, and they are optional treatments. There are a ton of treatments the military…

Let’s set aside the suicide rate till my second point. If I’m following you, “will this treatment change your mortality rate” is your barometer for healthcare. Well, that certainly would save a lot of money. Erectile dysfunction, unfortunate, but treating you won’t improve your mortality rate. Knee pain, can be…

You are right that the suicide rate has more to do with society acceptance than surgery. That’s why it is using suicide rates as a benchmark for success is not logical. Surgery is to reduce gender dysphoria, which surgery does. That is the benchmark. You are saying gender dysphoria is not a condition worth treating.

No study points to post-surgery suicide rates being significantly greater, and more recent studies suggest it may be far less in Western societies which have become more accepting of transgender people. However, all of those studies show a reduction in gender dysphoria, which is the purpose of the surgeries. A…

It was a school of mostly Irish Catholics that picked the mascot. I never knew the Indians were at one time comprised of mostly American Indians.

Attendance then and even somewhat to this day is overwhelming Irish Catholic. My brother-in-law works there and mocks it as a breeding ground for red hair.

Ovarian cancer is rare on the individual level, so a 33% increase of rare is still rare. There is not a statistical reason to carry around a lot of extra dread whatever cold comfort that may be. However, on a aggregate level it’s fairly high for an activity with no health benefits. I’m glad the practice is fading.

Sounds like he was a horrible husband. But you can be a cheater and a feminist. After all, women don’t lose that title after they cheat. And feminism is all about equality between men and women. Until there is some accusation of coercion, it’s premature to assume the worst. Monogamy is hard. Many feminists do not…

Not to mention, can a woman who cheats on a man be a feminist?

Can a woman be a feminist and a cheater? If so, then I don’t think you understand what feminism means.

Different strokes for different folks. We just have to figure out a way that couples can be equitable without literally splitting the chores equally, and raise our daughters/sons to know those are our personal choices, but they can arrange the labor in their relationships however they want.
