It's so adorable.

You are not wrong. He hasn't allowed comments at his Psychology Today blog for a looong time now. Mostly cause he people kept poking holes in all his arguments. Sadly you can't even see old comments any more, cause I had some really good ones on there :D

I think we place far too much importance on male strength and greatly undermine female strength, especially in pre-homo sapiens species. The weakest man is not stronger than the strongest woman, their is far more variation with in the genders than in between the genders. Biologically males are able to build more…

This is a rather good example of how our gender preconceptions can seriously bias even good science (not that I'm necessarily saying this is good science).

@girlarchaeologist: Combat pay, if I remember correctly, is paid just for being in a combat zone. So if a woman is sent to Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere else that's considered a combat zone she should get that extra $1000 a month or so. However... thinking on it, I wouldn't be overly surprised to find out that if…

After reading a lot of the responses below, I had a thought. It could be totally off base, but it makes sense to me.

They always went away on their own, and now I chalk most of mine up…

@Ennui_Go: That is true, sperm mostly just swim in whatever direction they happen to be going (some studies have shown that they actually try to run away from the egg at times) and eggs put out chemical pathways to direct the sperm in and IIRC can even reel it in. What I got from the last paragraph is more along the…

@der gugelhupf: Would that be polyamorous?

Just a note, as someone who gets furious when evo-psyc people make the same mistake: Polygamy is the practice of having multiple partners in a relationship, no matter the sexes/genders of the partners. Polyandry is the practice of one woman having multiple men as partners. Polygyny is the practice of one man having…
