Evidence has shown that guys are actually really good at things we happen to find meaningful and prestigious, whereas girls are only good at meaningless, frivolous things. Only people who think testosterone literally doesn’t exist would doubt this very scientific conclusion.

Sex routinely judged as mates by earning power, social status, seek jobs with high earning power, prestige, work greater hours. Sex that has tendency to select opposite sex based on earning power and social status baffled.

It’s weird that most people don’t pretend to be the other gender online, honestly.

Eh, there’s still existing gender conformity rules (though more for men than for women) saying not to do it, plus I think a lot more people are vaguely comfortable in their gender roles than they let on.

Not that I don’t recommend it.  I have many faces, and I like to let people assume.

If you end up being the person running the @argumate account, I am going to be livid.

We are all running the Argumate account, ShieldFoss. The steady and unrestrained stream of anons assures that the Argumate blog is a democratic and participatory process.

Getting annoyed at some of the free speech stuff because people making grandstanding points about it in matters that are sort of orthogonal to principles of free speech.

Fraud is free speech, conspiracy is free speech, threats are free speech!  Everything I do is free speech and therefore can’t be interfered with as long as I include some sort of racial slur.

Isn’t that always the problem when everyone only wants free speech only for their own side?

China couldn’t be bothered to reign in North Korea, so now Japan’s going to have a nuclear triad and remilitarize, quite possibly.

And no doubt the Chinagov’s gonna pitch a fit over this, which is on some level their fault.

On reread I think you meant ‘rein in NK’, nonetheless I prefer the reading that China should have just exerted imperial influence.

I think the distinction that people don’t make is that…

  1. For a woman, sometimes you can get a man to fight for you, so it makes sense to get him to take on all that risk himself.
  2. For a woman, the upper body strength distribution is almost bimodal, so it makes even more sense not to fight and send a man instead if you might end up fighting a man.
  3. Society often treats women and their violence as harmless.  (The flip side of the glass ceiling.)

So if you have a high stress situation consisting only of women, isolated from society and from men, it may well get violent.
