I think another factor is that while men tend to compete on power and money, rather than looks, women primarily compete on appearance, so they have to be more naturally attuned to what makes women attractive. But I think that a lot of men are bis3xual, too. Anyone who really believes that sexuality is a “choice” has to be, logically, and it would explain the behavior of a lot of sailors and prisoners. But the only way I’d do it with a guy would be if I were raped.

Transparency At The IPCC
A FOIA-free back channel to discuss climate change, with White House collusion? Say it ain’t so.
Remember That FTL Neutrino?
It wasn’t. Einstein was right once again.
Dumbing Them Down
Does pregnancy make women stupid? The sacrifices they make. Fortunately, it seems to be temporary.
Obama’s Earplugs And Blinders

Why Do Women Have B00Bs?
Asking the important questions. It remains an evolutionary mystery. Maybe Glenn (and Ben) have the right answer, but it’s unsatisfactory from a scientific standpoint.
Adaptation
Coral might be able to adapt to warmer seas.
You don’t say.
You know, it’s almost as though the climate hysterics and warm mongers don’t believe in evolution.

The EPA
Why it’s rational for Republicans to oppose it. It’s good policy and good politics.
A cleanAn ultra-clean environment is a luxury good. We’re broke.
Having A Good Working Memory
It’s never been one of my strengths. I always liked math and physics because they didn’t require much memorization — I could just rederive formulas on the fly. One of the reasons that I never seriously considered being a doctor was the amount of memorization required. And I think that for that profession in particular, memory is important, and apparently more so than intelligence or processing capability, because I’ve met doctors who I didn’t think were all that smart, and I don’t intrinsically respect them just because they’re doctors. At least not as much as they and society thinks I’m supposed to.
