Only STEM folks consider the male visualization advantage to be a problem because women get other advantages (like verbal and social edges).<br /><br />The points about risky behaviour are quite true, and besides that self-inflicted reduction in lifespan ('you men brought it down on yourselves!'), there's the fact that being a woman is not cost-free. <br /><br />Menstruation, pregnancy, beast cancer... these are all long-ongoing costs. If just your PMS is bad enough to ruin one day a month, then that erases a lot of the longevity advantage.gwernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349479103216755952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-22386784803630905942010-05-11T10:34:29.784-07:002010-05-11T10:34:29.784-07:00"It is just amazing how incredibly mean-spiri..."It is just amazing how incredibly mean-spirited and small some of you people are.

Kagan served on a Goldman advisory council between 2005 and 2008, with the task of providing expert "analysis and advice to Goldman Sachs and its clients." For her work she earned a $10,000 stipend."<br /><br />Well that's $10,000 more than Goldman Sachs ever paid me. Moreover, they're saying it's "old news" because it was bought up at the time of her confirmation as solicitor general.<br /><br />(It's funny how leftists always bring up the "It's old news" excuse. Sure, our guy was found to have a basement full of dead hobos, whom he murdered with an axe, but he's moved beyond that. We're not living in the past. We think the American people want an axe-murderer who understands they're concerns and will address the issues that affect them in they're everyday lives.)<br /><br />$10,000 isn't much for a Harvard professor, it's true. What I want to know is: did she buy any Goldman Sachs stock at the time. How much? Did she buy any investments recommended to her by the people she was "advising". And why did they hire her to advise them? Perhaps because they knew she had an inside track to become a supreme court justice?Mr. Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-47326630000110736402010-05-10T23:21:56.025-07:002010-05-10T23:21:56.025-07:00"Marriage and child-rearing provide a great d..."Marriage and child-rearing provide a great deal of perspective,"<br /><br />And you have how many children, Thomas Bradford?<br /><br />"There are plenty of accomplished women with husbands and children out there."<br /><br />Certainly there are, and there are plenty of major league basbeball players with PHD's from Harvard...

If he had chosen a black female then in the public's perception her race would've trumped her gender. <br /><br />From an electoral perspective his best bet would've been a straight, white, at least nominally Protestant woman or man, as it would've downplayed his obsession with race and identity and shown an identification with the upper class whites who elected him, who are now the ones feeling most betrayed by his behavior.<br /><br />Of course why be an anti-white anti-Christian bigot if you can't make it matter on the big appointments?<br /><br />I also think that his choice of a Jewish justice reveals the importance of Jews among the people who foisted him on us to begin with. Jewish power players like George Soros, Haim Saban and Rahm Emanuel are willing to "pass over" temporary, bit parts like SecDef and AG, but the Fed and the Supreme Court are for keeps. They're the two most powerful branches of the federal government, from which there is no appeal, and, in the case of the SC, the job can be for 30 years or more.<br /><br />Meanwhile, it'll be interesting to see if the two lesbians don't become lovers (assuming they aren't already). The upside is that gay marriage is now the law in D.C.; the downside is that, since they're b2b appointments, they'll be seated on the far opposite sides of the bench, so there'll be no playing footsie or holding hands under the table during sessions.Captain Jack Aubreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49982021099687796302010-05-10T17:01:39.954-07:002010-05-10T17:01:39.954-07:00I was thinking exactly on these lines just before ...I was thinking exactly on these lines just before I surfed over here. If a law that disproportionately effects a particular racial group, say that causes Hispanics to be asked to show their identification, is considered unconsitutional because it violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment, then aren't virtually all criminal statutes similarly unconstitutional? Clearly, NAMs are disproportionately arrested, convicted, sentenced and punished. Is the law against murder unconstitutional since AAs are much more likely to be convicted of murder than whites?<br />Some would sympathize with this, but let's take it one step further. AAs are about 2-3 times overrepresented in murders, but women are underrepresented by an order of magnitude. <br />If the single fact that immigration laws effect Hispanics more than others prove that the laws are unconstitutional and racist, then why doesn't the single fact that criminal laws effect men more than women prove that the laws are unconstitutional and sexist?Antioco Dascalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617669156986603638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-88064966948354078902010-05-10T15:33:19.340-07:002010-05-10T15:33:19.340-07:00Or the gap in thinking about homosexuality.
