Men are better at Science

You mean if it's a half love slave/half cluster lizard?


Anyway, Congratz, Bells. All the best.
And maybe you could name it after me if it's some sort of nexus. Or maybe if it's inverted. Whichever works best.

Or maybe Dr. Lou if it's a dingo's kidney?
We should start a baby naming/insult thread. That'd be fun.

Well, I think 'Britney', 'Courtney' etc. are understandably out of the question.

IMO, a name should satisfy as many of the following criteria as time permits:

1) It should stand a good chance of remaining relatively exclusive;

2) It should not mean anything ridiculous in any of the top 6 world languages (that said, my name has a military overtone in Arabic!);

3) It should sound diatonically harmonious with the surname;

4) Regardless of how unfamiliar, it should give a fair clue as to the gender of the person; let others name their daughters, 'Gatsby'.

if the babys female, call it -
Alice Gina Irene Rachel Lucy.

if a boy, call it -

Andy Luke Arthur Daniel.

Or some set of names starting wit th those leters...

 

Funny how a thread is turned from its subject so easily. But, I think that Gendanken was right when she said that the thread's dead. Now all that remains are aftershocks.

Anyway, on to the more interesting subject of baby names.

How about Science? Works for a boy or a girl.

 

Aftershocks? Oh dear fellow, I've got plenty of commercial airliners left...

I was looking forward to going up against Bells, as she clearly brought some heavy firepower for her gender here, but I would consider it immoral to rile a pregnant woman. Nine months from now, however, it's open season, by which time I will have dozens more examples of evidence for my case, flooding out of Pilot Training schools, licenses in hand..

I'm having a hard time believing Gedanken is female, I wouldn't put it past someone of his intellect to successfully impersonate a woman, with his twisted psyche, grinning maniacally as he pulls the wool over hundreds of posters eyes at an 'intelligent' forum.

 

This isn't surprising, but gives a nice sound picture for your thought patterns -

so boring.

so, so-so.

 

Bells:

Don't you see? In order for me to be 'female' my nouns should be ovulating.

(Aside: You're pregnant? I'm a little depressed and envious but, - Congratulations.

Every time you look on that boy or girl count your blessings. This is a planet to beautiful to waste away on the small stuff (like gender issues).
This planet is what you'll give that child of yours.
This planet is what I'll never give one of my own.

I don't think I'll ever have the little boy I dream about. You already have yours)

Chug antifreeze.

Not in the mood so....cheers.

 

Jesus, I'm sorry...keep trying, keep getting different opinions. There are women in their 50's having kids. Take a leaf out of MY book here, although you may think I have a nerve...well, that's exactly why I got as far as I did in business.

I didn't let society keep lying to me about women's REAL position within it, so why should you just accept what the prognosis/ses? Go overseas if necessary, the Medical profession is more often divided than not on such issues.

But hey, none of this matters because I KNOW you're really a man - I mean, how else would you know what Antifreeze is?

Good luck,

Why not? If you have a girl just place it in one of those chinese dieing rooms and try again.

Bells,
I think I should cyber-parent this child of yours.
IMHO 2 women simply don't have the tools to raise a well rounded individual. Regardless of how well one of them mimics a man.
We live in the same town too, who knows? Your son might be trying to sell me a house in the future, I don't want people I'm doing business with getting giddy over the bulge in my pants.

 

Jaybee:

Thy tireless, gruesome idiocy......

You have nothing to say to me beucase I agree with you.
You're only hanging on looking so godamned brilliant.

I can also read resistor bands.
GASP!
Oh my god, Gendanken has testes!

I'm a spinster in waiting.

 

Oh come on you tiresome pussy, quit stalling and try to refute your idiotic contradiction.

 

This has started to sound just like the "he or she" thread...

 

Perhaps we should talk about tigers?

 

Perhaps you would care to specify:

1) The contradiction I made (as you understand it, anyway);
2) Why YOU think it's idiotic;
3) What on Earth made you think I was trying to refute it.

Make your answers precise, concise, and relevant. The fact that I've asked for clarity so early in our discussion does not bode well for your chances of continuing it with me.

I don't have time for those who waste theirs.


Jaybee.

 

then why waste so much of your own writing all that anti feminism stuf?

 

All that 'stuf' is a service I'm happy to provide. I've successfully shown that that women steer away from the (non-social) sciences in favour of the social ones because, of the two, their brains prefer the social ones, and the gulf in preferences is FAR more marked in girls than boys.

I have found through experience that defending myself against people barely out of their teens is somewhat time-inefficient.


Jaybee

 

All you have shown is a huge bias against women that causes you to interpret facts in a way that (falsely) feeds your little baby-bird ego.

You have also shown that you aren't one-tenth the scientist that many women are, so according to you, since career choices are made due to brain differences, you are vastly deficient in the "skills" that make men such good scientists. You use your woman skills - communication - to do your work. You jaybee, you talk-talk all time for job, you woman, ugh ugh, where my club?

You have also shown that you become much more polite when dealing with some of the women who showed up to make you look stupid, because they scared you.

 

Bells said, "And here you are saying that men are better at being scientific. How about you just don't use yourself as an example to prove your point? Hmmm?"

Sorry, I was using him as an example to make him see his real problem and hopefully find other solutions. I'm just a giver, what can I do?

Also, congratulations, you already know you will make it through all of this stuff you're dealing with, but then you get the joy of not sleeping for six months, or a year. One step at a time, I suppose. But, from what my friends say, it is all worth it and I know it will be for you too.
