    You mean female brains are bathed in estrogen and males in testosterone and that has an effect? Only if you disregard politics.

    IT workers shouldn't go freelance because they're just not competent enough to run their own business.

    What on earth makes you equate the ability to program with the ability to run a business? That *is* the implication of your statement.

    before Europe had boats

    Hardly.

    The earliest known boats are log-boats or dugouts, with examples from Holland and Denmark going back to the Middle Stone Age or Mesolithic at about 7000 BC.

    Boat History

    Boat making most likely predates all known groups of people. Otherwise, you are correct.

    "So which is better" - a medium rare steak that's been seared in molasses. My system is healthy enough to process it with no problems at all so I ignore hypothetical hysterics.

  13. So their own videos of drowning people in cages, roasting people to death in cages, executing people on their knees for differing beliefs, executing people for being homosexual, boasting of their sex slaving, executing groups of children and sawing off the heads of live captives doesn't do it for you.

    I dare say your level of convincing is too extreme.

    You only think you're not.

    I still think I'm right - I'm not saying that I think there's any moral equivalence between me and them.

    Followed immediately by:

    But I'm able to see that they have exactly the reverse position, and thus that in their minds, they're not just not evil, but even rigtheously good.

    Moral equivalence.

    You are conflating the rational response to a murderous group of people to their psychopathic rationale for murdering. That sir, is moral equivocating. Morals is about what you do, not what you think.

    Any average woman attacked by any average man will be a de facto "princess in distress" simply because she will be overpowered. This also goes for the kick ass female going up against a kick ass male. The trope is much more aimed at teaching young men that they have a responsibility to protect the innocent and vulnerable.

    Unless they're highly trained, it would be a horrible disservice for anyone to teach their daughter that she should go toe to toe against a man without fighting like all hell while simultaneously screaming at the top of her lungs for help.

    Because if it were seen as just a fact by the filmmakers and devoid of sexism, the ratio of male CEOs to female is of no relevance to women in coding and wouldn't even be in the film, much less its opening moments.

    Why not the ratio of males to females in elephant caretakers?
