I said "superior". That can be interpreted in other ways I guess. But I meant it as a higher form of love/affection (because between equals) as opposed to simply fucking. Well you said homosexual sex was deemed superior (to heterosexual sex) so that's what I was disagreeing about. There's of course...

From the sources I have seen, the life of Greek women seems similar to what you find now in many Islamic countries. With the lives of high status Athenian women similar to high status Saudi women. (Lower status women could work in markets or taverns, but high status women had servants do their shop...

Either way, odd they use as an example of how gender norms bend based on culture, a culture that had such a low opinion of women, that sex with them was seen as inferior to sex with men, and so homosexual sex was deemed superior. That's widely overstating it. While male homosexual activity had its ...

Do they control for gender other than with the bathrooms? Not sure how or if they control that unless there's a passport control before the flight. But at least they ask when you book a flight.

I agree with you on principle but practically I think in this situation you let it go for betterment of everyone in the plane. Would YOU move if a crazy feminist started freaking out at having to sit next to a male? Is there any reason why SHE wouldn't have to move if she wants to sit next to someo...

Ebay takes a little bit but he will make that up by overcharging for shipping which isn't a knock on him. Everybody does it. You're right. He does overcharge on shipping, and not a little.

So, what are the bets on when Ophelia will actually leave FTB? 1 day? 2. days? A week? 1 year from now? She saying that she is leaving for a while now. I just don't see the action.

Really, the only appropriate solution at this point would be for PZ to decimate the commentariat with apparently arbitrary bans. That, or complete Exterminatus.

I believe that the only evidence that one can give that one has listened is saying that you (now) agree with them. If you thought that you listened, but still don't agree, then you didn't really listen. Cool how that works, eh? They do leave you the loopholes of being just evil, a Pitter or severly...

As brilliant as that may be, don't you dare post a sex-tape involving the depicted person.

Benson's safe there. Even if her last sex tape emerges, you'd still need to find the proper magic lantern.

It's all ok, the whole topic of trans-everything has been Hornbecked and it all becomes clear.

And Oolon is also correct, and Ophelia Benson is not. The question: â€œare trans-woman women?â€ (if this was indeed the question) can be answered with â€œyesâ€ and â€œnoâ€ and the answer is of course â€œyesâ€, since the trans-person at that point has apparently declared what she prefers. I didn...

Ms Benson published the following comment as guest post in defence of her not answering the question... What the hell is so difficult about a yes-and-no answer to the â€œtrans women are womenâ€ question? For some, perhaps even most, purposes, yes, absolutely. For other purposes (womenâ€™s reproduc...

Churchill's 'fight them on the beaches' speech was certainly good oratory from the Allies' point of view. The Nazis no doubt thought it was a load of old wank.
