Many people love their mothers, and many mothers are very caring. The same can be said for fathers. But for purposes of philosophical discussion, it w...
I don't want to offend wallows, so I'll post this cut for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6rKrO5iLZs From the Bible to the popular song There's ...
You have. The heresy is that one sex is better than the other. Women are not more moral than men. They are merely morally and immoral, delightful and ...
Mothers don't abandon their children as often as men do. Much, much more often than men they hold on to their offspring, doing a perfectly wretched jo...
It isn't everyday that mother-love and the USMC, semper fi, and all, are rolled up together that way. I'd avoid it, myself. The relationship between p...
Hey, I not only have my Medium Income, distant civil war, wealthier country of the world (of which my share is about zip), and living in my castle in ...
Well on that we can agree, as long as we don't have to agree on the list of unlikable churches. I never met a church that had nothing unlikeable about...
That's a big piece of the problem: No locality (city, county, state) can afford to absorb and assist millions of immigrants, asylum seekers, opportuni...
The fault is not yours; the problem arises from the term itself, one which has been in regular use for a long time: It's loaded with meaning. Thinking...
Children who are not aided in building a value set may miss the boat on developing useful, socially desirable values. At best they will have a stunted...
An objection with something in the section that you placed out of bounds: (I've never been big on obedience). Fuck reverence and capitalism. Do "value...
There does seem to be a short-cut between our fingers and that part of the non-conscious minds that actually composes our texts. Then there is the aut...
While I am not wildly enthusiastic about millions of people migrating across our borders for jobs or asylum, there are certainly reasons why this is h...
Why don't they just call it paganism, heathenism, satanism, or whatever the fuck they dislike? I still don't get what your thread is about. I like thr...
Why would we be skilled at discussing our demise as a species? Talking about our own individual dying and death is hard enough, and there has never be...
I've never heard a pastor say such a thing. Can you provide more context for this? Christianity is a religion. Has "religion" become such a bad term t...
Human behavior is loaded with neuroticism. It just goes with the territory . There is nothing inherently bad about spending hours at the gym sculpting...
Women are at greater risk of adverse consequences than are men as a result of promiscuity. Pregnancy and childbearing have been one of the leading cau...
Observing the operations of individual neurons gets us one step closer to the goal of understanding nerves and brains. You've heard of C. elegans? It'...
Life as men and women knew it. I'm not lauding the lack of women's suffrage, or women's lack of control over wealth (that condition was not universal)...
Never was. Patriarchy and matriarchy are projectiles developed for gender warfare. The historical use of these terms is not ancient. In the Google Ngr...
Traits are derived from evolution. Look at 100 dogs: they all exhibit very similar traits. Why do they all have the same traits (like the ability to f...
Sigh. I was merely amplifying the point that working class women, one of whom I observed at close hand for years, didn't have much opportunity to purs...
No it's not patriarchy. You read the post too quickly. Journals written by men are usually not literature either. Journals have real value, just not "...
My mother was contemporary with Tillie Olson and was also a working class wife and mother (of 7). She didn't have literary aspirations, as far as I kn...
Journaling! Journals, diaries, and the like are usually NOT of interest as "literature". Pepys journal is valuable as an intimate view of everyday his...
Emily Dickinson wrote her poetry on the go and she didn't have any children to worry about. Not taking care of children is probably necessary for arti...
In his novel, Seven Eves Neal Stephenson used parthenogenesis. In this really quite good SciFi story, something caused the moon to break up into a lot...
Women have never been banned from art; they have been taking drawing and painting classes for many, many years. Yet, how many great woman painters can...
It depends where, when, why, etc. these violent behaviors show up. If one bunch of violent bad guys is on the loose (bad) a bunch of violent good guys...
I thought I just did. Men are more likely to engage in state-prohibited behavior than women are, and society tends to be more concerned about the kind...
Wallows -- are you trying to start a fight? The prisons also have a lot more black men than white men. Does that imply that white men are socially sup...
I can't tell how much of a compliment it is being a cut above what you are used to. I'll just go ahead and assume that you are used to the very good. ...
Oh yes, getting help was suggested. He would have benefitted from the help of an able psychotherapist. He did, apparently, overcome his problems enoug...
True, and I don't think that genetics is anywhere close to parsing out all the genetic factors that control the behavior of the brain for learning 2 +...
The statistics might be misleading. 50 years ago, give or take a few, the rate of "mental illness" per se was thought to be around 10%. Several factor...
I don't know. Is he? Yes? No? Maybe? What should you do to prove your evolutionary fitness? Beat up every other guy in the neighborhood and become Kin...
