Yeah, men say that until they need us to plow a field or fix a truck or build a battleship.

You mean when men want women to do "manly" stuff, then they suddenly don't think the idea of women not being able to do "manly" stuff is sexist?

Make sense much?

No, I mean that when men need women to do this "manly" stuff, as in WWII, then it suddenly becomes our duty to forget traditional gender roles, stop being such spoiled, soft pets, and get down to the shipyards to build him a battleship.

Then when he comes back from the war and needs his job back, suddenly it's ok to be a soft, spoiled pet, and get my ass out of the factory and back to the kitchen...

I wish people would make up their minds. I do men's work all the time, and I'm at no disadvantage, nor am I lacking in ability. I work harder than some men, even some chauvinist men, when I want to. I can do things considered men's work that some of them can't do, if I choose to use my ex-hubby as a comparison...his dad always asked ME to help him with things, instead of his son, because his son was next to useless, and wouldn't pay attention if you tried to show him how...

All good. Just that the quote you were responding to was saying that traditional gender roles are sexist. So your "men say that until" response was a matter of arguing one side against itself. ;)

The "natural law" you were talking about Pepe, how do you know it exists? People make up their own versions of "natural law", it's all relative. I agree with you as much in that people should be free to pursue whatever kind of relationship they want, equal, dominant/submissive, or whatever. Doesn't make it optimal though.

And KELHPTOPIA, if you're still around, you are proof that men are not automatically mentally superior to women. If you're gonna bring in the bible, at least quote it right. Asserting that a math problem is beneath you does not prove anything except that you're an arrogant prick. And putting down negroes as well as women does not strengthen your argument. Racism is so last century.

Hah, you're one of a kind.
It's not pratical for women to brag about being whores.. but it's funny.

Now, now dear, jealously will earn you nothing but pity, and you already have the full extent of mine...

Is this supposed to be more important than family, God and country?
What are you talking about? Unless you imagine a women's sexual organs somehow cut her off from family, God and country in a way that a man's penis does not, may I ask what you imagine the relevence of your comment is?

Traditional relationships support society for a reason: because they promote moral attitudes. Relationships based on hedonism weaken society, and, like it or not, degrade women socially.
Some traditional relationships support society, some do not, some hedonistic relationshops support society, some do not. Some traditional relationships weaken society, some do not, some hedonistic relationships weaken society, some do not. Some traditional relationships degrade people and some do not, some hedonistic relationships degrade people and some do not.

Again, this is the kind of warped logic that assumes women don't or shouldn't care about society as a whole.. a healthy country is one that values family and morality..
It is not warped logic to suggest that relationships shouldnt revolve around the reproduction of children. I dont think it is warped logic to consider that infertile people are as much in need of and entitled to pursue relationships (including marital relationships) as any other person, yet clearly they cannot produce children so whatever sort of relationship they are in will not be one that revolves around the production of children. You're a pretty heartless piece of work if you would condem someone to never be in a loving marital relationship just because they are (through no fault of their own) infertile.

Exactly. The topic is the proper treatment of women, and whether one ideal should be promoted in lieu of natural law. I maintain that it should not.
You are saying absolutely nothing. According to how you have defined natural law, natural law contradicts natural law. To never not follow natural law is impossible according to how you have defined natural law. You can call it natural law, but what it really means is 'it feels so right it cant be wrong'. Clearly since what you call natural law is contradictory (ie person A's natural law tells them abortion is wrong and person's B natural law tells them that abortion is not wrong) natural law cannot possibly be a definitive measurement of truth or rightness.

There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence, friends.

To condense Kelhptopia's argument, women are capable of gaining knowledge in the same areas as a man, but follow paths suiting their own biological proclivites. A man and a woman can obtain the same knowledge, just as two men can, but the more intelligent man is the one who absorbs it more comprehensively and quickly. This is what the statistics reveal about the disparity between the sexes.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with this, just restating what I think the intended argument is.

Whather or not one person or the other can answer a matrix is anecdotal, and misses the greater issue.

Of course men and women can gain usually gain knowledge in the same areas, but it is morally abhorrent for women to do things that conflict with their duties as wives and mothers.

It is morally abhorrent for you to tell women what their *duties* are.

I have a quick question, have you told any women in real life your views on this subject? If so, how did they respond?

Except when education and experience enter into this equasion. You may have free will, but you can only freely choose between the options you are aware of. If you are unaware of certain options, or believe (mistakenly or not) that certain options are not available to you, then your Freewill, although still there, is quite curtailed.

When the majority of women were only aware of certain limited options regarding subordinate positions in relationships, they had few options. Now, with education and communication, women know that they are no longer limited to specific roles in relationships, and are not locked into being subordinates.

The only way any natural law would enter into it, is that we are limited by our beliefs and knowledge.


Translation: Send all the women to marxist universities where marxism is forced on them by the masonic cabal and the powers that be. Women aren't really free unless they're doing what I want them to do, and that means going to marxist universities, freedom is slavery.


So-called "higher education" is nothing really more than a disguise for the marxist indoctrination of the young adults of America, often paid for by their parents. Parents are paying to have their children brainwashed by politicized science, politicized literature, politicized everything. The marxists want to spread their filth and lies.

I told my mother, she didn't seem to care, she knows how I feel and she simply blamed my father saying he poisoned my mind against women. (My father did no such thing) but seeing my mother, the pinnacle of the modern so-called "liberated woman" and just what she did to my dad, it gave me a realization that "liberated women" are nothing more than abnormal whores who have either too much testosterone or too little estrogen, or perhaps too much marxist indoctrination, they don't act like women should, and they don't even act decent irregardless of gender mannerisms.

Can't Hold Us Down - Christina Aguilera & Li'l Kim

So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly big talker don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two

That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Never can, never will

So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing

If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore

I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout out loud!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

[Lil' Kim:]
Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for smaller things

This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world

People are not animals. Choose something appropriate

I am very sorry and I do not wish to offend, but I totally fail to see how this is an appropriate remark. It seems to be an attempt at censor certain statements on my behalf that fell into none of the following categories:

obscene
illegal
threatening
malicious
defamatory
spam
griefing

It is also a very scientifically unsound statement. All people, in terms of human beings, are homo sapiens, and all homo sapiens are indeed members of the animal kingdom. So it is simply not true to say that people are not animals.

It is also not an accurate conveyence of the meaning and sprit of my statement, which was, that while humans (arguably) evolved from lower animals, and still possess animal natures (or as those who argue against evolution might say, sin natures), we also possess higher natures, civilized, even devine natures. And it is our duty to rise above our animal natures and realize our devine natures.

I apologize if that was not clear to some.

But I still fail to see how, with all of the grossly offensive political, sexist, homophobic, nationalist and/or religiously intolerent views that are allowed to be expressed here (and should continue to be), even a misinterpretation of my meaning could be viewed as something worthy of censorship. Much less, if I was in fact understood correctly.

I also do not understand the reference of "choose something appropriate". Choose for what? Appropriate to what?

Whether I am to be deleted for asking this, or for restating my (quite widely shared) belief that homo sapiens are in fact a species of animal, or not at all, I would appreciate an explaination as to why this is an appropriate topic for censorship.

Love to all, respect to most, I will see you all someday, tomorrow, 30x days from now, or in the great hereafter.

the fact that mysogenists still exist is 100% the fault of women. if women would have the dignity, intelligence, and strength to stop sleeping with mysogenists then they would simply die out, but women still go for them. women still marry them. women still have their babies, take their shit, and then go to support groups to cry about it. if being a mysogenist asshole meant you were never going to get laid, there would be no mysogenists (because they are invariably also homophobic, and so would never be able to have any sex at all) and women could get on with their lives.

so if you hate mysogeny, look to your "sisters." it's their fault for perpetuating it and they have had the power to stop it for centuries. they choose to be victims, and you reep what they sow.

That is an entirely typical sympton. Enlightenment very rarely (if ever) results from misreasoning. You have stated that because of the traits of one women who you categorise as liberated, all women who can be so categorised must exhibit those traits. This is a logical fallacy, the chances of becoming enlightened by following a logical fallacy are very slim indeed, and as it happens that has not occured in your particular case. The fact that a women is liberated does not cause her to be a whore, nor need she be a whore to be liberated. Many liberated women have never exchanged sex for money (or kind). Equally a women does not require any particular level of testosterone before she can be liberated, neither does being liberated cause the sudden production of excess testosterone. Equally there is no maximum amount of estrogen which disqualifies a woman from becoming liberated, nor does being liberated interfere with the production of estrogen.
The fact that your thinking on this issue could be so impaired that you would actually believe some of the illogical easily disproven nonesense that you have stated is proof in itself. Basically you are stating that women can only be free if they are inclined to sell sexual services (presuming you actually know what a whore is), and have a chemical imbalance. If you really honestly think that this is even possible (much less likely) then you are one damaged unit, regardless of how you 'feel'.

misogyny is a buzzword used to silence any who want women to act feminine, much like "racist" is a buzzword used to silence any who don't want black on white crime being the epidemic that it is. "xenophobe" is the buzzword to any who won't hand their nation over to the boat people. "Homophobe" is the word used to silence any who won't bend over for the gay parade.

Here lies the problem. You think that each of these groups is trying to be better than the mainstream/majority. They are not.

They are trying to be EQUAL.

And your best defense against their struggle for equality is that they're somehow trying to gain the upper hand.

If you ask me, women and men are about as equal now as they are probably going to get... bar a few points (i.e. pay will equalise eventually but that will take another half century I think to even out completely) but there are certain biological constants, which nobody can deny...

As for women, I would make an observation: You are all different, some of want to be housewives with a rich husbands, some of you want to go out to work and be the breadwinner etc... I've personally met many many more of the former than the later but my fiance is the later, which works well simply because we respect each others choices in life.

Women have reputation, and if they get pregnant before about 22 in my opinion they are making a stupid mistake, but it is theirs to live and cope with.

Men, have reputation and if they get a girl pregnant, they need to pay for that offsprings upkeep... not dodge out of it... it's called taking responsability something a lot of both sexes don't do a lot of at the moment.

Setting aside the fact that the meaning of the word whore was standardised and defined long before you were born, and assuming that the other words in your post conform to the standard English definition, this still does not address the fact that it is possible for a woman to be free without being promiscuous. To believe that a woman can only be free if she is promiscuous and suffers from a chemical imbalance (or that being free will cause such a condition) requires a disconnect with reality, and that disconnect in itself constitutes mental disfunction.

Many people who are 'damaged' or suffer mental ill health feel that they are perfectly fine.

No it just makes you a poor communicator. However I never claimed that your choosing to make novel use of standardised parts of the English language makes you mentally dysfunctional, nor that is indicitive of your mental health. What I am trying to clarify is the extent of the disconnection from reality that your belief constitutes, and the implication this has with regards to your mental function. Your belief cannot exist in the absence of a disconnection from reality and that disconnection is in itself indicitive of ill-mental health in either a symptomatic or causitive capacity (and possibly both).

Mmmm. I agree. I take full responsibility for what came to me from making poor choices in men, and I have a lot of sympathy for any woman who takes up with said men in the future. Hell, one of them was even a self-proclaimed male feminist, but that didn't put domestic violence beyond his reach. I can't speak for all women, but I think that once you've slummed a bit with men who aren't worth the trouble, you raise your standards. I did, and my current relationship is one based on mutual respect and tolerance.

I wish more women would cut their men loose, if the man isn't much of a man, and raise their standards. Maybe it would cut that extra chromosome out of the loop, and teach men that they have to have manners if they want to have a lady in their lives. On the same token, maybe more women should be ladies, and give a better example to their daughters, show them that they're worth more than that.

obviously Man created woman (as says in the bible) to serve by his side as a companion.The adam was created male and female, back to back, and later cleaved in twain. No this isn't what the bible, in its mistranslated glory, says, but neither is what you said.

First tell me how you want me to solve the equation using a matrix.. what does the equation represent? A probability? You are not making any sense.What does it matter what the equation represents? You could take it as representing a set of points (x,y) on a cartesian plane whose coordinates satisfy the equation if you want to.

Women are statistically worse at math. It's been proven in research. Just like that one broad who copied some 'matrix' problem from the back of her textbook. She told me to solve it without any respect to a variable. Shameful, really.I understand what she's asking for. That isn't it. But then, I'm a physics graduate. What she's asking for is matricies of the following form:
|x y|
times
Inverse(A)
times
M
times
A
times
|x|
|y|
=
[1]
such that the matricies multiply out to equal the 1x1 matrix [3x^2 + 8xy + 3y^2]. (and hence the matrix equation is equivalent to the equation given), and furthermore, M is a diagonal 2x2 matrix (the non-diagonal elements are zero). You need to find a 2x2 matrix A such that M is a diagonal matrix. The first step to doing this is to find a symmetric 2x2 matrix S such that:
|x y|
times
S
times
|x|
|y|
=
[3x^2 + 8xy + 3y^2]

Once you find M you can use that to figure out what the conic section is.

(Unfortunately, ASCII is not well suited to writing math.)

Face it, Dakini pwns you.

All people, in terms of human beings, are homo sapiens, and all homo sapiens are indeed members of the animal kingdom. So it is simply not true to say that people are not animals.Yup. We are indeed animals. Animals who build on the knowledge of previous generations and create societies far removed from paleolithic ones.

Women were underrepresented in physics (though not in math) at my university. But the ones that were there could hold their own. And grad school physics requires some heavy-duty math. Heck, third year physics requires rather more than first year calculus.

why is it that so many people here have such a negative attitude towards women?


it's quite disgusting, frankly.

if she gets pregnant outside marriage, it's because she's a stupid whore.
highschool girls are dirty whores.

if ever a woman enjoys sex or does it with more than one person in her whole life, she's a whore.

1 word is the answer: Hypocrisy!

19-10-2004, 14:52
well, let's see, of the girls i knew in highschool, only three of them had ever gotten laid.

that's out of a couple hundred...

so uh... yeah.... not every girl is a slut, and if they were, then the guys would be equally sluts for sleeping with all the girls who are sluts, now wouldn't they?
Yes there are slutty guys as well as slutty goirls. Its just easier to spot slutty girls because they get pregnant and men don't unless you are a seahorse.

You shouldn't be having premartial hanky panky. Wait till you are of age (19 or older)or at least married. But I'd say married. A couple studies proved that those who lived together before marriage were more likely to get divorced.

What do you people have against "equal but different"?

Men and women are physiologically different. There's no point in arguing with that, and I doubt anyone is trying.

Physiologically speaking, men will tend to be better at the heavy lifting than women. Does this mean that all men are stronger than all women? NO! That's a stupid extrapolation. The point is that it tends to be thus. Likewise women will tend to be better at logic and reasoning than men. It's just inherent in brain chemistry, and there's no getting around it.

Ok broad, you obviously won't ask me any calculus so enough with this brainless physics dirt you throw at me. Stop wasting my time.

you can't do it!

calculus is a walk in the park on a bright sunny day, man. not only that, it was invented for the purpose of doing physics problems, so umm, way to knock physics while

i also strongly suspect you want a calc problem so you can plug it into your ti-83 and not have to do any real work. for future refrence, being good at math is not the same as being good at plugging numbers into a calculator.

good luck with the oh so mathematically easy subject of actuarial sciences... i know some friends who had to take stats classes who slept through them and still got A's, so i don't see how your math is so much more difficult than my "physics dirt"

Yeah exactly.. the broad wouldn't shut her face though. I could have asked her to state me hawaiian alphabet.. but what good would that have proven?

you said that all men are better than all women at math.

and you can't even answer the problem i gave you, yet that was a much simpler problem than the ones i've had to answer since the numbers work out nicely and there are only two variables.
Dakini
19-10-2004, 17:21
Indeed there are. But since I am not a female (you just found this thread and answered the first post you read, didn't you? ;) admit it! I do that too sometimes), it is not an inverse statement. However, I am sure there are many many MANY men who are better at the traditional female roles than, say, Daniki is.

excuse me?

what would you consider a traditional female role?

'cause i know i can cook and i know i can keep house wonderfully. i know that i can listen and i know how to confort people when they need it, i can be quite nurturing and warm...

except of course to people who are idiots... they get their asses handed to them, right kelthoptopia?

Women are discouraged from mathematical and scientific endeavors from an early age and therefore don't pursue these sciences as earnestly as men do who are encouraged in these areas.
I'll show you my proof when you show me yours.

she's right you know, women are conditioned to keep out of the phsyical sciences, so much so that i'm one of three girls in my entire class. so much so that i'm considered a visible minority for being a woman in physics by some schools around here.

i don't see too many more female math majors either...

Translation: Send all the women to marxist universities where marxism is forced on them by the masonic cabal and the powers that be. Women aren't really free unless they're doing what I want them to do, and that means going to marxist universities, freedom is slavery.


So-called "higher education" is nothing really more than a disguise for the marxist indoctrination of the young adults of America, often paid for by their parents. Parents are paying to have their children brainwashed by politicized science, politicized literature, politicized everything. The marxists want to spread their filth and lies.

You got it, just one thing...whores get paid. If you sleep around a lot, it doesn't mean you're a whore. If you get PAID to, you are. Nymphomaniacs are typically frigid, hence do not enjoy sex.

As for getting pregnant outside of marriage, it's a woman's prerogative, assuming she meant to get pregnant. Just because someone got preggers outside of marriage doesn't mean she wasn't prepared for it.

the term nymphomaniac is reserved for women with an "excessive" desire or enjoyment of sex. so basically, women who take sex as men do... i've yet to hear a male term for the word, if anyone knows of one, feel free to share.

yeah, you know, we talk a lot of politics in optics class... same with math... yeah, lots of politics there.

have you ever been to a lecture at any university other than one in a political science class perhaps examining marxism? i somehow doubt you'd be let past the doors.

the most political thing i have ever heard in a science class was last year when my modern physics prof encouraged us to go vote for the provincial election, and he even added that he didn't care who we voted for, so long as we voted.

I understand what she's asking for. That isn't it. But then, I'm a physics graduate. What she's asking for is matricies of the following form:
|x y|
times
Inverse(A)
times
M
times
A
times
|x|
|y|
=
[1]
such that the matricies multiply out to equal the 1x1 matrix [3x^2 + 8xy + 3y^2]. (and hence the matrix equation is equivalent to the equation given), and furthermore, M is a diagonal 2x2 matrix (the non-diagonal elements are zero). You need to find a 2x2 matrix A such that M is a diagonal matrix. The first step to doing this is to find a symmetric 2x2 matrix S such that:
|x y|
times
S
times
|x|
|y|
=
[3x^2 + 8xy + 3y^2]

Once you find M you can use that to figure out what the conic section is.

(Unfortunately, ASCII is not well suited to writing math.)

Face it, Dakini pwns you.

thank you deittbok, you kick ass!

aren't there also studies that say that people who get married young (usually 'cuase they can't wait to jump in the sack) also have a higher divorce rate?

and why wait until 19? i would say 18, as that's when the cervix is usually fully mature. and there's no real reason that one has to wait until one's married to have sex i mean, if that's your choice, then that's your choice. that's not to say that means everyone shoudl sleep around.

and also, you don't have to be a "slut" to get pregnant. it only takes one time and one boy.

Has anyone ever considered the fact that it's the 'sluts' (i.e those who are more confident and experienced) who are least likely to get pregnant as they know what they're doing and would be feel less embarrassed when, for example, insisting a guy wears a condom...

Also, my GCSE Maths class was about fifty fifty and the girls seemed to hold their own with the boys (though perhaps working harder than us lazy buggers), but this year and last year my A level class has been about seventy thirty in favour of boys and I suspect that it is higher at University...

misogyny is a buzzword used to silence any who want women to act feminine, much like "racist" is a buzzword used to silence any who don't want black on white crime being the epidemic that it is. "xenophobe" is the buzzword to any who won't hand their nation over to the boat people. "Homophobe" is the word used to silence any who won't bend over for the gay parade.

Actually, the vast, vast majority of crime is "horizonatl crime". It's less sensationalized but it's far more common. Most white crime victims are victimized by white criminals. Most black crime victims are victimized by black criminals. Most Asian crime victims...well, you get the picture.

If a girl wants respect - a simple way, beat the crap out of a couple of guys. I'm serious!

If a girl wants respect, she need only demand it. I'm a senior in High School right now, and I've seen it and heard boys admit it. A girl who dresses trashy gets treated trashy. But if a girl dresses like she respects herself and her body, boys tend to be more respectful around them and to them.

Then there's me, who's the highest ranking officer in JROTC and so hardcore I've got people flinching when I raise my fist for 'pound' or 'dap' or whatever the hell you guys call it.

Seriously, though, a girl who doesn't respect herself won't find respect in the men around her. And the same goes for guys, too. Some guys out there are just complete sluts. Christ, it's sickly. Afriad to touch them lest you get infected. Bleh. (Not all, definitly not all, but some. 'Specially in High School, when being a male slut is called a 'player' and, thus, is cool.)

I would have left it at, "It's perfectly normal for men and women to enjoy sex", and don't get me wrong, I'm monogamous, but I don't think that they should get shit for having sex before they're married.

Sex out of marriage doesn't make you a whore. What if you're in a serious, monogamus relationship and both partners feel they are ready to have sex? Does that make them whores? No. Besides, what about those people who disagree with the institution of marriage. Because of personal beliefs, they aer whores? I don't think so.

And having sex with more than one person doesn't exactly make you a whore, either. What if you thought you'd found 'the one', had sex with that person, then the relationship ended? Does that mean you can no longer have sex with people in other relationships without being labeled a whore?

Well if a guy even gets a bonnar he's a "pervert." Now let's post a lie that women say, often:

"I like to have fun.."

Lie. Some girls I've talked to have been so shallow, that when asked what they like to do, she'll simply say "I like to have fun.." No shit? I thought you liked being bored like the rest of us. What the hell kind of answer is "I like to have fun.." Who doesn't like to have fun? Upon further probing for what they like to do, they'll say "well.. uhhh.. I like to swim, and go hiking, and uhh.. I like to just hang out with friends.. uhhh.. I like to see movies.. uhhh..." Okay, she likes to see movies.
Potential for a conversation. So, I'll ask them what movies they like, and with out fail, they always say "oh.. uhh... I like all movies.." No, dipshit, you don't like all movies. Nobody does. What movies do you like? "uhh.. I like romantic movies mostly.." (I don't really say dipshit.. I'm usually very mannered around women.. not that it matters, since they only want a rich guy to screw). My fault on that one, I should have known. Upon further interrogating (at least it seems like interrogation, since they have nothing to say about anything that matters outside of their microcosm of existence), they tell me that they like music, "all kinds" of music, of course. This is all torture to me. Why the hell should I waste my time with someone so damn boring?

Potential for a conversation. So, I'll ask them what movies they like, and with out fail, they always say "oh.. uhh... I like all movies.." No, dipshit, you don't like all movies. Nobody does. What movies do you like? "uhh.. I like romantic movies mostly.." (I don't really say dipshit.. I'm usually very mannered around women.. not that it matters, since they only want a rich guy to screw). My fault on that one, I should have known. Upon further interrogating (at least it seems like interrogation, since they have nothing to say about anything that matters outside of their microcosm of existence), they tell me that they like music, "all kinds" of music, of course. This is all torture to me. Why the hell should I waste my time with someone so damn boring?

I am not anti-woman. I hate mankind.

But women are horrid gossiping creatures. They never shut-up!

she's right you know, women are conditioned to keep out of the phsyical sciences, so much so that i'm one of three girls in my entire class. so much so that i'm considered a visible minority for being a woman in physics by some schools around here.

i don't see too many more female math majors either...
that's funny, because my program (biomedical sciences PhD program at a pretty tough university) is 8 men and 15 women. the class before us was 14 women and 6 men, and the one before that was a 19 women and 3 men. since i don't tend to get along with women, i am very bummed about this situation...where the boys at?!

excuse me?

what would you consider a traditional female role?

'cause i know i can cook and i know i can keep house wonderfully. i know that i can listen and i know how to confort people when they need it, i can be quite nurturing and warm...

except of course to people who are idiots... they get their asses handed to them, right kelthoptopia?

Save your breath, he will never admit it.

Apart from keeping house, so can I. No offence was intended. It should have been obvious that I was merely using you as a known female example in terms of the point that "traditional gender roles", while they may be accurate to the majority of the billions of humans on this planet, are by no means absolute.

And you obviously know what the "traditional female roles" are. ;)

I asked her to try me on a quesiton that involved calculus or anything within the Actuarial Sciences field.-- She would not comply. Such arrogance.

Whose arrogance? Yours. Prove you can solve the problem. We have no doubt that she can, but nobody here imagines that you can, not even you I would bet. Can you do it? Just prove it.

because it exploits cheap overseas labour so it can undercut local stores, dirving them out of business and then jack up its prices?

and i would hardly call what you're doing science. you're a statistician right? hahahaha...

I could ask her the Barcode of a Hoss Avocado (4025).. but unless she worked Cashier at a grocery store I doubt she would know the answer. There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence.. as Pepe stated earlier.

there's also a difference between admitting when you're wrong and being a jackass who won't.

if you simply admitted that some women are better at math than some men, then i'd let it slide and wouldn't keep asking you to answer the question, however, you're not. instead you're still insulting me, my chosen field of study, my gender, my intelligence, the question, putting everything else down to make yourself feel better about your inabilities? is this a common trend for you?

it's only by admitting that you're wrong that you learn. perhaps you're too proud to admit it here publicly, but if you only admit it to yourself, then that's what counts.

and yes, you have been pwnd. and to think, you want to throw first year calc at me and you don't think i'll be able to do it when i can do math that you obviously can't.

No, we are not being 'Sexist' or anything by that when we degrade these whores.. obviously Man created woman (as says in the bible) to serve by his side as a companion. As long as a woman serves the role in which Man and God ideologically planned for her, nothing but respect from me.

That Wal-Mart Corp. has no interest in the health of any local economy, or for that matter the long-term welfare of the business environment, goes without saying. Hmmm, maybe it's that overabundence of male executives and their whiz-bang (not) thinking capacity.

One would wonder why you would attend an institute of higher education if you hold them in such disrespect... does this mean you are a 'brainwashed marxist'? (Or whatever that comment was...)

I find it interesting that you will spout all kinds of politcal and mysoginistic rhetoric, but when someone points out your own failing, you feel the need to flame. If that were me, I would look at my own self before I started in again on other people and their inadequacies.

What is your deal with Marx, anyway? I'm not sure if you've managed to make a post where you didn't use the name, and you always spit it with such venom... personally, I quite liked Groucho.

Ah. And coming to Dr Stoddard.... which one? You can't just flip out a name like that...

Do you mean Dr James M Stoddard (Clinical Assistant Professor, UMKC School of Medicine), Dr Alexandra Stoddard (hostess of Homes Across America), Dr Hannis Stoddard (who founded the Animal Intensive Care Unit), Dr Mike Stoddard (Author of The Civics Lesson from Hell), Dr Douglas Stoddard (inventor of Eload)...

Well Pepe, the thread is actually about why there appears to be a certain level of disrespect towards woman in the tone of some posts on this message board. You may have decided that somehow your view on gender roles was relevent to why some people display an attitude of disrespect towards females (whether they adhere to your notion of their 'proper role' or not), although personally since the thread was discussing arbitary disrespect (ie aimed at all females as a group, including those who do adhere to your notions regarding their 'proper role'), I dont see how your comments in this respect are even relevent.

Thats okay - he has much to think about on those cold and lonely nights:

So here's the master plan... We make a bunch of realistic, chick-robots. To pleasure men whenever the need is there. The majority of men would be all for this. Then we have a bunch of women, doing what women do. And then like, the women that actually have sexual desire? They just go switch themselves for a robot and boom, both the man and the woman are happy. The majority of women though have no sexual desire, so they would just do stuff that doesn't involve intimacy. Now, you say, are you on crack, most chicks want kids! I say to ye of little faith, give the chicks kids, drain the robots of the semen that men give to them and then inseminate the women. Both parties are happy. Men get what they want, when they want. Women get it if they want it, and if they don't, then they have no responsibility. And breeder-women they get all the kids they want. With or without sex, it's their preference. Now, you may think, wow, what a sick puppy this guy is, but all I can do is refer you to Eugenics. Nuff said, I'm out.

Nah, when Idiots like Dakini dub walmart a Manufacturer.. and take advantage of cheap overseas labor..
I mean seriously.. does walmart fly their mid-night cleanup crew in from pakistan everyday?

When brainless idiots like Dakini stop making idiotic statements i'll shut up.

That will be impossible, because as long as you do not shut up, there will be at least one truly brainless idiot still talking. Catch 22, old boy. ;)

Walmart does not have to ship them in. Walmart lets them creep in through the USA's southern border on their own dime, or at least they did until they were caught. And who here has called Walmart a manufacturer? Despite their signature brands made overseas by their partners and subsidiaries?

Selling signature-brand products made by cheap overseas labour does indeed qualify as taking advantage of cheap overseas labour. KELHPTOPIA doesn't really seem to have much of a clue about anything.

I dont know why you think that it is necessary to be a manufacturer in order to derive some benefit from cheap overseas labour. In fact it makes no sense to suggest that only a manufacturer can derive benefit from cheap overseas labour. If a shoe manufacturer sells shoes 10% cheaper to a marketer as a result of utilising cheap overseas labout, the marketer has benefited by getting a 10% reduction on the cost of purchassing shoes. To suggest that being able to purchass products cheaper is not an advantage to a marketer is nonsenical, and equally if the products are only cheaper as a result of cheap overseas labour, it is nonsensical to suggest that the advantage is not the result of cheap overseas labour.

I hate that word: slut

I really hope that the attitude that comes from that word will be eliminated in the First World, and soon.

I went to a french highschool in Montreal, and our english classes were held in a large, circular desk pattern, so that debate could be facilitated between the students and teacher. In one class, we were discussing social issues and one girl in the class raised the issue that fictional characters in TV dramas were setting bad examples for highschool girls because they were sluts.

I got very mad at her for using such a term and having such an attitude. I explained to her that such an old-fashionned word had no place in modern society, and was completely antithetical to the feminist movement that attained it's height just a few decades earlier. Women were fighting for social change so that their sexuality could be accepted in society, instead of stereotyped by hollywood movies and macho male expectations.

To vilify women who were sexually active was unacceptable. It still is unacceptable to me. And I know that I had an impact on my highschool class when I (rather forcefully, in retrospect) explained it to that girl who used the term "slut".

So you know what, Dakini, I really hope that people will take your grievances to heart and begin to accept women in a more positive light (sexually active or not). I would hate to think that the feminist movement was just a passing phase in the history of the western world.

But if it helps, know that I, a man from Montreal, will never, under any circumstance that I can imagine, use the term "slut" as a pejorative. And if I can help it, neither will my friends or coleagues.

I totally agree Alexithagoras, I fail to see why sex is always seen as such a bad thing anyway. When I decide to have sex, I don't really see why its anyone elses business apart from mine and the person I have sex with. I do intend to have sex with more than one person in my lifetime and I do intend to enjoy it and I can't see why anyone should have a problem with that.
and as to the intelegence thing yes there may be more men at the top of some things for what ever reason but I remember reading somewhere that there were fewer women doing really well but there were also few women doing really badly so it balanced out and that the lack of women at the very top of science was due to that fact that they had other commitments so could not work on what ever scienticific project they were working on and nothing else.
@ Pepe Dominguez I think the fact that I thought you were joking in your first post will give you an idea of how I feel about what you said

Hah, no wonder all the recent scientific break-throughs.
One of the few fields, like actuarial sciences, where you actually need some kind of brain-power to get the job.. no commie union to fall back on.Uh, the sciences in general are pretty close to being meritocracies. Most with plenty of women.

Oh so now physics is a manly challenge? I thought you said it was wimpy.:giggle:

(More flameage by KELHPTOPIA. Can't think of witty responses.)

Take a cylinder of known dimensions, and extend it by adding circular curves of known radii along there right-angled outer edge circumfrances, thus making a "cheese-wheel" shape, with flat top and bottom and circular side and with curved upper and lower edges, of known dimensions. How do you find the formula or graph of formulae for an ellipsoidal shape of known volume that meets but does not intersect the original shape at tangential circles at its top and bottom circumfrances?I am assuming this is not for homework...
And I haven't done the problem myself.

You have spherical symmetry, so go down a dimension. Once you get the right ellipses, the ellipsoids will just be surfaces of revolution (as the cylinder is). And for convenience center everything around the origin.
Now the ellipses must pass through the corners of the rectangle. So plug the coordinates for a corner into an equation for an ellipse, and solve for the constants. You will find you can express one constant in terms of the others. So you get a family of ellipses described by the width and height of the rectange, and by one other constant (which the eccentricity depends on). I'm not entirely sure what you mean by tangent. If you mean the ellipsoid is tangent to the curved surface of the "cheese wheel", then what you do is set the slope of the ellipse at the intersection point equal to the slope of the arc. To do this, express the top halves of the ellipse and the arc as functions. (The entire ellipse can't be expressed as a function because it's double-valued). Then take the derivatives at the corner of the rectanges and set them equal. You'll get something really nasty for the derivatives involving square roots. The equation for the arc will be non-trivial in itself. To find it's centre, draw a right triangle with a vertex on the x-axis, a vertex at the corner of the rectange, and a vetex on the side of the rectange. You can solve for the distance from the side using the pythagorean theorem, and from tha figure out where the center is.
Ok, now you'll have an equation from an ellipse expressed in various constants describing the "cheese wheel". Duplicate the x² term as a z² term (or y² depending on your coordinate system) to get the equation for the ellipseoid. Volume of the ellipseoid you'll probably just want to look up the equation for. Depending on eccentricity, this ellipsoid may or may not cut into the cheese wheel.

I'm not entirely sure I understood the question correctly. Hope this helps.

i agree with you. that whole "slut" "dirty whore" business is utterly inappropriate in the modern world.

to judge a person by what you think you know of her sexual habits denies the rest of her humanity. if a girl is more free with her affections than you think is proper does that mean she cant be a good friend? does it nullify everything else she might do in her life?

actually, a girl acting like a "slut" is doing exactly what nature designed her to do. a primate female who has multiple sexual partners is more likely to bear a stronger and more successful child than a female who restricts her sexual activity to one male. the only reason why feminine loyalty is selected for is when care for the young is important, but i think American society has proven that females don't need males for successful care of young (nor do males need females) and the loyalty of a biological father to the biological mother is totally unnecessary.

therefore, speaking from a strictly naturalist position, a slut is more natural than a female who abstains or is monogamous.

but hey, you tell yourself whatever you need in order to feel good about your personal prejudices.

Actually the root is this:

You can often tell when a woman is a virgin, and if you keep her off of horses and such you can pretty much always tell. Plus, you always know who the kids' mother is. These things do not apply to the men.

I don't see how having multiple partners will make a woman's child stronger. Rediculous. Can you explain this? Of course it gives her a greater chance of having some of her litter who are stronger, but it won't make any of them individually stronger. If she chooses one strong mate, all her kids will be strong, so... ?

No matter how strong your partner, you are relying on the COMBINATION of genes to produce offspring. It is entirely possible for two persons to be 'strong' contributors of genetic material, and yet not be able to produce 'strong' offspring... due to the introduction of lethal gene combinations, or recessive accumulations.

The only way to actually ENSURE that you have strong offspring is to couple with a variety of donors of genetic material, in order to obtain a strong 'match' of genetic material.

Incidentally - and somewhat off-topic, I know - the best way to do it is actually to breed with someone of very different genetic stock - and yet most supposedly 'civilised' nations have deep-seated prejudice against 'pollination' that crosses 'racial' divides.

Oh - and your assertion about the hymen is, unfortunately, also flawed. Not all females have identical hymen structure - and in some females the hymen is almost absent. This can be due to a variety of factors (horse-riding IS one), including gymnastics, atheletics, genetic factors.

And there was me hoping we were beyond the days when people 'checked' for blood on marital bed-sheets.

OK, a semantic difference. A women with multiple partners is more likely to have some offspring who are stronger than average. She is also more likely to have some who are weaker than average.

Oh - and my assertion about the hymen is not at all flawed. My assertion is that the verifiablity of female virginity, no matter how imperfect, is at the root of the historical status of women as chattel and the ancient definitions of adultery as something that only applies when a married woman, not a married man, copulates with someone other than her spouse. Yes there are various conditions that can make a virginal female appear non-virginal, and those that are environmental have historically been controlled by forbidding women from participating in certain activities, as well as by forcing them into hindering situations, such as dresses, foot-binding, and sidesaddle riding.

And keep hoping, and I will be with you, but this does not change the roots of sexist history. And btw did you know that the jewish hoopa was originally a canopied bed in which the bride and groom consumated their marriage in the sight of two male witnesses?

Just a note to say that some women are born without a hymen at all. In societies were great importance is placed on virgnity and the visual sign of it there are certain medical procedures which can either repair broken hymens or create the illusion of one.

Opinions differ on the marital bed thing... I have read sources that claim witnesses were present, and sources that claim the bed was examined AFTER the act of consumation. I wasn't there, so I have to rely on those sources, and there seems to be some uncertainty.

As far as I'm aware, whilst certainly instituted to maintain their chattel status, foot-binding was to prevent the woman being able to function over large distances unassisted, and was therefore designed to stop them 'straying', not to prevent them distorting the hymen... although that would probably be one of the logical outcomes.

Kind of bonus free-gift for the phallocentric culture.

Regarding you symantic difference comment. The woman is, statistically, perhaps more likely to have a weaker child if she has multiple partners, but this is solely because she is also likely to have more intercourse.

If she has multiple partners from a larger MIX of potential partners, the concept of 'hybrid-vigour' means that she is actually far more likely to have stronger offspring, increasing with the amount of divergence she allows in her selection.

There are such a thing as independent prostitutes, and even such a thing as non-violent non-oppressive facilitators - pimps and madams - however few and far between they may be. Madams in fact are, however marginally, typically less oppressive, being female and having usually been prostitutes themselves.

Then I suppose I do not understand hybrid vigour, as I thought that it refered to racial interbreeding. It also seems to me that what you have said about weaker children being statistically more likely is just as pertinent as about having stronger children. If she has a larger mix of potential partners she also is more likely to have weeker offspring. The more kids she has, the more statistical chance of divergence either way, and even more so, either way, with more partners.



Anyway on the other point: back in the day when marriage was invented, it was impossible, barring witnesses to confirm that a man was or was not a virgin, or to confirm who the father of a child is. OTOH a woman's virginity could often be confirmed, or believed confirmed however inaccurately. This I believe led to a culture where a bride had to be proven a virgin and where the identity of the father of a child could be held in doubt. This led to wives and daughters being treated as chattel.

On a happier(?) note, I have heard that there is a culture in which matrons deflowered young girls with a stick as a universal rule to prevent anyone from knowing, or believing they could know, who was or was not a virgin.

The more kids she has, the more statistical chance of divergence either way, and even more so, either way, with more partners.


I would guess you are correct. You do not understand hybrid vigour.


Anyway on the other point: back in the day when marriage was invented, it was impossible, barring witnesses to confirm that a man was or was not a virgin, or to confirm who the father of a child is. OTOH a woman's virginity could often be confirmed, or believed confirmed however inaccurately. This I believe led to a culture where a bride had to be proven a virgin and where the identity of the father of a child could be held in doubt. This led to wives and daughters being treated as chattel.

On a happier(?) note, I have heard that there is a culture in which matrons deflowered young girls with a stick as a universal rule to prevent anyone from knowing, or believing they could know, who was or was not a virgin.

Back in the day when marriage was invented? Invented by whom?

hybrid vigor, n.

Increased vigor or other superior qualities arising from the crossbreeding of genetically different plants or animals. Also called heterosis.

Sounds a lot like how I described it.

Multiple partners will not produce hybrid vigour unless they are of different races from the woman (or if you prefer, different groups of shared multiple hereditary phenotypic traits). In fact a single partner from outside the group will give a woman's children more hybrid vigour than multiple partners from her own native group.

If you disagree with this, please explain to me how.

That's how hybrid vigour was always explained to me in Biology. :)
Plants/animals of different strains have greater chance of producing healthy and strong offspring. It's to do with them having a lower likelihood of both carrying a copy of a bad gene. So by Mendelian genetics they will have a lower chance of having autosomal recessive traits.

(Tosses in two cents)

I figure men and women are equal.. hell, both genders have been equally unpleasant to me over the years.

I'd just like to ask - why do some on this thread claim that someone being 'different' automatically precludes them being 'equal'? Specifically in reference to different gender roles - how does it make one the inferior to the other? Surely both are equally important.

Also, if you believe in the concept of patriarchy in civilisation, I want to know if anyone has a theory (personal or academic) as to how it came about?


Heh... nothing like stirring the swamp, hmm? ;)

I'm not disagreeing with that... as I said, the greater the divergence, the better the result. The point was that multiple partners would be more likely to lead to greater diversity. Like you say, one partner from a very diverse background MIGHT do the same thing, but ONE partner is risking the same possibility of incompatibilities we discussed earlier... the lethal genes or recessives.

So, playing the odds.... one divergent partner is a better situation than one non-divergent partner.

Multiple non-divergent partners may outway the incompatibility risk of one divergent partner.

Multiple partners, in general, increase the chances of divergence, and, therefore, of strong offspring.

Multiple partners, ESPECIALLY when featuring diversity, gives rise to the GREATEST chance of strong offspring.

Are Skirts not Shorter?
Where kissing use to be after marriage, is now making out not common?

A guy cannot go and make out with him self No matter how hard he tries (Trust me on this one :p ). Guys don't wear (General rule again) tight slacks that cling to their arse, or words with text that brings attention to the chest.

Again, very few girls recieve any male attention wearing baggy clothing, ruffled hair, and a zitty face. So instead they go from that, to 'sex icon' and expect to be treated fairly?

So, your argument is that women don't deserve any respect because they try to look presentable?

You think it is OKAY for you to disrespect someone just because she is better looking than you?

Do you not realise that women didn't get any respect a hundred years ago, either?

Oh, and your general rules are general, alright... but certainly not rules. I have to admit that the ONLY reason I started wearing Levi 501's is because they made me look gorgeous.

It was a valiant attempt, but a history of men oppressing women argues against you.

And please don't perpetuate the idea that women 'ask' to be disrespected because of what they wear... that is the kind of arguments rapists have been using for years.. "She was asking for it... if she didn't want to be raped, she wouldn't have been wearing a short skirt". You are treading on dangerous ground, there.

I have read his post. As I recall he concurred with my understanding of hybrid vigour.

Done the math:

genetic diversity = one or more partners of different hereditary stock = low risk of "bad-genetic-stuff"

(partner + offspring) multiplicity = greater chance of statistical divergence = greater chance of stonger offspring + greater chance of weaker offspring

Have you done the math?

. . .

Now, if you want to say that having multiple children with multiple partners increases a woman's chance of having at least one above average child, this is true, and what I meant about semantic differences as your meaning, if that was it, was not clear. Moreso with hybrid vigour, but what you have been saying is that this practice IS ITSELF what is meant by "hybrid vigour". It simply is not. Hybrid vigour is what arises from having partners, OR A SINGLE PARTNER, who is of a different hereditary stock. In addition, having multiple partners increases a woman's chance of having at least one below average child, less so with hybrid vigour. But having multiple partners in itself still does not provide hybrid vigour.

And the reason why the math requires multiple partners, even if the stock is different? Because 1 is not a good statistic. 1 divergent partner might still match lethal-gene combinations, which is less likely with two partners, and vanishingly small with increased numbers.

I hate that word: slut

I really hope that the attitude that comes from that word will be eliminated in the First World, and soon.

I went to a french highschool in Montreal, and our english classes were held in a large, circular desk pattern, so that debate could be facilitated between the students and teacher. In one class, we were discussing social issues and one girl in the class raised the issue that fictional characters in TV dramas were setting bad examples for highschool girls because they were sluts.

I got very mad at her for using such a term and having such an attitude. I explained to her that such an old-fashionned word had no place in modern society, and was completely antithetical to the feminist movement that attained it's height just a few decades earlier. Women were fighting for social change so that their sexuality could be accepted in society, instead of stereotyped by hollywood movies and macho male expectations.

To vilify women who were sexually active was unacceptable. It still is unacceptable to me. And I know that I had an impact on my highschool class when I (rather forcefully, in retrospect) explained it to that girl who used the term "slut".

So you know what, Dakini, I really hope that people will take your grievances to heart and begin to accept women in a more positive light (sexually active or not). I would hate to think that the feminist movement was just a passing phase in the history of the western world.

But if it helps, know that I, a man from Montreal, will never, under any circumstance that I can imagine, use the term "slut" as a pejorative. And if I can help it, neither will my friends or coleagues.

A girl acting like a slut is not natural...
It's natures way for humans to deny her of 'friendship'

since when? the natural, chemical phenomena known as love lasts 18 months. long enough for people to get together, have a kid and move on (with some recovery time of course) it's highly doubtful that humans (of either gender) were meant to be strictly monogamous.

and also, using your reasoning... it's not natural for promoscious men to have friends then either, is it?

Exactly. Women without loyalty just won't be trusted by decent people. It's just the way of the world.

Ok, as for my opinion, (so ya'll can flame it because you feel insulted that I think your debate funny) I think that moderation is key. Men and women tend to do different things better. Yes, it's true. If you try to claim that women and men are exactly the same, you are being disrespectful to both. To say that relationships always have to look a certain way is disrespectful the the differences from person to person. In some relationships, the traditional thing works. If you want to be crazy "liberated" you go right ahead. As for me, I wish the feminists would shut up once in a while and focus on something that matters. Changing people's attitudes is a slow process, and the only thing you do by shooting your mouth off at every opportunity that presents itself is make those of us who don't feel it necessary to be continually offended roll our eyes, and reinforce others in their opinions. Lets be strong women who respect ourselves and respect our men, who know what we can and can't do and don't confuse our personal limitations and strengths with sweeping generalizations, who don't find it important to look for injustice when we have enough to do without in. In short, lets be women the men of the next generation have a reason to respect. That's how you can bring our sex out of the subjugation you're so fond of: stop screaming it. If they're assholes, let them be assholes. Just don't date them. Let them think what they want.

Regarding the math... iterested that you came up with a 'sum' to calculate. You made my series of factors into an equation.

What "sum"? :p I made two identity statements.

OK...

single partner + single (successful) pregnency = one offspring displaying a range of benificial and detrimential trait manifestations

single partner + multiple pregnencies = multiple offspring within a range of benificial and detrimental trait manifestations ---(tends to)---> strong and weak offspring in equal numbers, at equal varience from the median

multiple partners + multiple pregnencies = multiple offspring within a broader range of beneficial and detrimental traits ---> strong and weak offspring in equal numbers, at equal varience from the median, but with a larger set of individual variences.

That's it. That's the math. Now, we bring in the variable of distance from the woman's own hereditary stock:

one partner of close (familially connected) hereditary relationship + single pregnency = one offspring displaying a range of benificial and detrimental trait manifestations that skews towards the detrimental

one partner of distant (differently racial) hereditary relationship + single pregnency = one offspring displaying a range of benificial and detrimental trait manifestations that skews towards the benificial

This describes both incestual deformity and hybrid vigour.

I also don't recall actually saying that multiple partners = hybrid vigour... although I did point out that more partners implies more diversity, and that greater diversity = greater 'hybrid vigour' potential.

...here...

The woman is, statistically, perhaps more likely to have a weaker child if she has multiple partners, but this is solely because she is also likely to have more intercourse.

If she has multiple partners from a larger MIX of potential partners, the concept of 'hybrid-vigour' means that she is actually far more likely to have stronger offspring, increasing with the amount of divergence she allows in her selection.

...as I said, semantic differences. I suppose that by "MIX" you mean a racial mix? That was not clear.

So... if you look at it.. multiple partners DOES suggest greater diversity of genes... add to this the increased potential for stonger children with greater divergence... then subtract the potential for weaker children. But, the potential for weaker children is LESS than that for stronger children, because the increased potential for divergence lessens the possibility of weakening combinations.

No. There is no subtracting the potential for weaker children, UNLESS you bring in hybrid vigour, in which case multiplicity only makes for a smoother curve (as you describe below), and there is still just as lessened a chance for one unique offspring.

What your logic seems to be neglecting is the fact that each child has only the patenal genetic material of its own father. Since each individual child has an equal chance, excluding hybrid vigor or incestual deformity, of having benificial or detrimental traits, none of them benefit or suffer individually from their mother's multiplicity of partners, and therefor the average of benificial and detrimental traits does not either, other than coelescing into a relatively consistent curve different from the individual's sample-of-one results . They may have DIFFERENT beneficial and detrimental traits from one another, but there is no statistical tendency for their having, indivually or as a group, a greater proponderence of benificial traits over detrimental traits, or vice versa.

And the reason why the math requires multiple partners, even if the stock is different? Because 1 is not a good statistic. 1 divergent partner might still match lethal-gene combinations, which is less likely with two partners, and vanishingly small with increased numbers.

No, they do not vanish, because, again, each child gets only the paternal genes of its own father. So as a group they have the same chances, although averaged out over the individual chances from each of their fathers, of having detrimental genes. Yeah, one is not a good sample, but while one might still match detrimental recessive gene combinations, one might also inherit a greater number of beneficial dominant genes. Multiplicity provides a better sample, but will still only result in an AVERAGE range of hybrid vigour affected traits, more beneficial that detrimental, but the possibility of detrimental ones does not approach zero with more fathers, it simply approaches a stable average.

. . . . . . . . .

Of course it could be pointed out that if a woman has multiple offspring by multiple partners, and those offspring themselves then interbreed with eachother, each of their subsequent offspring has, assuming they do not have the same grandfather, on average a roughly half the chance of manifesting detrimental traits that those with two common grandfathers would. For those with hybrid grandfathers and a common mother, hybrid vigour will indeed increase the likelihood of benefits and decrease the likelihood of detriments, moreso than with one generation, and even moreso if the original mother's partners were hereditarily diverse from eachother. Further, if they were not, there is still the possibility of hybrid vigour between two grandfathers of the same race of manifesting benificial recessive trait pairs unknown to the woman's own people, as well as a normal chance of detrimental ones common to the other race, and of course moreso of those if the grandfathers were related.OK, you never did say that multiple partnering in and of itself decreased chances of detrimental trait manifestation. I apologize for having misunderstood. However multiple hybrid vigour partnering does not do so either, beyond the average, better or worse than, that can be expected from a single hybrid partner of average genetic compatibility.

. . . . . . . . .

I expect that you might still disagree, so please, explain to me in sufficient detail for a newbee fucktard like myself to understand, how multiple hereditarily diverse partners cause a woman's offspring, jointly &/or severally, to have a greater/lesser chance of having benificial/detrimental traits than they would have with a single father hereditarily diverse from their mother? When there is no genetic interaction between them or between their fathers? When they are simply an average of individual samples with the same chances on average as average individuals as any individual hybrid child would have?
Druthulhu
26-10-2004, 10:33
I may still be misreading your intents, and if so I apologize, but if you are saying that multiple hybrid paretnering increases the effects of hybrid vigour, increasing the chance of benifits and decreasing the chance of detriments over those of a single hybrid father, that's where we disagree: it doesn't. It only manifests a curve that displays average chances for such traits. A single hybrid child might be high on that curve or it might be low, but prior to the winning swimmer getting to the egg it has just the same chances as any other guy's sperm, who is also not of the mother's race and all else being equal.

That all else being equal, it really seems to me, is where your logic is stumbling. You seem to be saying that multiple hybrid partners increase the effects of hybrid vigour because having only one hybrid father might saddle a woman with a single father for all of her children who, despite hybrid vigor, is simply a below-the-curve sample of his own people's hereditary benifits and detriments. He might be, but he might not. He might be the paragon of his people's genetically dominant hereditary advantages who possesses relatively few recessive detrimental genes in common with the woman. My point is, all else being equal, we should treat him as if he were average. And when we do that, it should be clear that having multiple hybrid partners does not cause results to skew either towards the beneficial or away from the detrimental, when we look at it as an average.

I saw that I'd misunderstood you again, in one of my quotes of you, so I came here to apologize, and decided to encapsulate what appears to me to be the core of our differences. :) Enjoy.
