  1. Because managing a household and raising children and having a job of one's own is just soooo easy. Anyway, this has nothing to do with your claim that the division of labour in which women do the majority of household chores and child rearing has an evolutionary/biological basis. Unless you're also arguing that men's shorter life expectancy is also down to biology/evolution, which, unlike your other claim, actually has some basis in science.
  2. What does this even mean? We were talking about the division of labour in households, a division which still favours men and one you say is evolutionary/biological/some crap. At least I was. What hell were you talking about?
  3. Nothing that could materially prevent them from doing so if they so desired.
  4. So when it comes to survival, we can use our imaginations, but when it comes to divvying up the chores, we're slaves to our programming. Boy some people will go to any length not to wash a goddamn dish.
  5. Interesting choice of words, given that, if we were to simply defer to evolution, we'd never have invented the wheel. But we did, along with the vacuum cleaner, parental leave for men and other advancements that would helps us transcend our biology if biology was the determining factor in the division of household labour. Which it isn't.
  6. The alternative is simply repealing them. That you're more concerned with the political fallout than doing the right thing simply makes you a natural supporter of this government.
  7. I've never been in favour of such laws, but that's neither here nor there. At issue is your theory that bad laws must be used badly as a perquisite to change (which is why the death penalty was abolished after so many of its supporters were summarily executed....)
  8. So you're spiteful and selectively pro-totalitarianism. Got it.
  9. So the equivalent of a bad father saying "I'll give you something to cry about"? I'll just put you down in the pro-totalitarianism camp then.
  10. So Israel should be held to the same standard as, say, North Korea, then?
  11. So to be clear: you have no problem with the government stifling free speech of the people it disagrees with?
  12. You need some special hormonal or physical thing to vacuum or drive the kid to soccer practice or make dinner? I call bull****.
  13. It's a nice theory. It's not the reality. Women, even those who work outside the home, still do the lion's share of housework and child rearing.
  14. The survey in questions shows a slight edge towards men (40% male to 37% of female internet users experience abuse). But the nature of the abuse is different. Rates for being called names or physically threatened are pretty much the same, but women are far more likely to be stalked and sexually harassed online than men. That's a ridiculous strawman in a series of strawmen you've created here. The issue isn't a organized conspiracy, but a culture that is hostile and unwelcoming to women. There's a difference. Though I suppose one could argue that if they did believe in such a conspiracy, the existence of GamorGraet serves to validate them in that regard. How ironic.
  15. Weren't you gonna blow all our minds on this GG thing like eight months ago? Still we wait.
  16. What evidence? Like the confession obtained under extreme duress? The "eyewitnesses" who weren't actually on the scene? Really, tell us more about the evidence gleaned from a deeply flawed and possibly illegal process.
  17. Was her claim about his beliefs WRT women's rights etc? Or was it an off-the-cuff observation about how he's comported himself during the process versus the vindictive and obsessive approach of the government?
  18. Is it relevant? Canadian citizens are entitled to believe anything they want.
  19. So I take that as a no, you don't actually know where Omar Khadr stands on these things.
  20. And you know for a fact Omar Khadr believes these things?
  21. San Jose won 6 playoff rounds under McLellan. Over the same period Babcock won 7 with 3 of those in McLellan's first year. It's the playoffs. S**t happens. The Wings were middle-of-the pack in terms of injuries, though obviously some were important players. But every team has to deal with that. Age-wise, they are on par with Chicago, Pittsburgh and the Rangers. Excuses excuses. Anyway, it's a moot point: it sounds like McLellan is the Oilers' man.
  22. *whines about people making up fake categories to vilify their opponents* *blames "Social Justice Warriors"* LOL Lots of "she said blah blah blah" here, but not a single actual quote. You think it wouldn't be that hard.
  23. Like last year, I expect that's the real final. The actual SCF will be an afterthought.
