Your insistence on misinterpreting meaning has spoiled the debate
And this wasn't misrepresentation?
You really can't claim the reason women have not done as well in some things is societal,
I can and I did and so have many more learned people than you.
and then say then the reason men do things badly is biological,
where did I say that.....although for some it is
By splitting the sentence, you completely changed the meaning communicated by the original poster. The pot seems blacker than the kettle it is calling.
Namecalling?????? You? You are hallucinating. I went back and checked.
have you never heard of the truth being called UNKIND........suck it up princes Was this a mistype for princess? I read it as princess, as did Diva (msg 220).
I'm satisfied I stated myself clearly so.... It seems that people of both genders misinterpreted your posts in pretty much the same way. That company you work for isn't instilling male corporate 'virtues' into you, is it? | |

Well, I appreciated your thoughtful posts. 
One important question of relevance to the thread is how attitude of either gender factors into a desirable employee / collaborator (and mate! - considering this is a dating site) | |

I wonder why there aren't more male teachers?
Oh stop it xzanthius...we were having a fun conversation that revolved around male/female polarization, and now you have to spoil it by asking a pertinent, political, social-economical question...
Which has already been done, but definitely needs revisiting... | |

I just remembered a math problem; "A boos at a tray factory tells you he wants you to design a tray double the size of the existing tray. Prove why you would need 8 times more material ? " My aswer to this is; 2^3. 2 to the power of 3 dimensions. 2*2*2 = 8. You need more than just double the material.Because,the tray occupies 3 dimensional space. Agree ?
Anyway, I once read about Friedrich Gauss in Scientific American Presents;Mathematics; In Germany. A teacher asked her child students what is the sum of all the numbers between and and 100. Including 1 & 100 ? She thought it would keep them busy for a while so that she could do something else. Friedrich yelled out the answer right away.
If it wasn't for her asking/pondering the question. We might not have the full solution to this day. So,it seems that she was interested in knowing the right answer. So,she was involved in math. | |

Back when I went to school girls weren't encouraged to pursue math and sciences. I remember being in the 8th grade and wanting to be a veterinarian, I was laughed at.
Math is a weakness for me, I blame that on the lousy teachers I had in grade school and high school. One of my math teachers was a gym teacher, seriously. I barely passed that class.
I didn't go to college until I was in my 30s. I discovered that I could in fact do math if I was taught and did a lot of homework. Even then I was lucky to get a B no matter how hard I tried.
I'm in college now studying to be a nurse. I really enjoyed the anatomy classes and am now doing microbiology.
On tv I like to watch documentaries on The Science channel and Smithsonian channel. Astronomy, chemistry, physics, geology, etc etc do interest me and I like to learn about it all.
If I could go back in time and back to school I'd go into something in microbiology or physiology. Well, except maybe for that damn Kreb's cycle.
Ok, so to spin it around...how many men are actually attracted to women who are interested in careers in the sciences? | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 1:42:33 AM | "Women hold up half the sky" Mao Tse Tung c 1955
Q Calculate total area of sky held up by women
Area of sphere A = 4 pie r squared
If x is distance from sea level to sky
and Equatorial Circumference 24,902 miles
then Equatorial Diameter 7,926.677 miles
therefore diameter of earth to sky is (7926.677 + 2 x)
therfore r = (7926.677 +2x) /2
and area sphere A = 4 pie ( (7926.677 +2x) /2) squared ))
therfore area of sky held up by women =4 pie ( (7926.677 +2x) /2) squared ))/2 sq miles
Are they not cute and thrilling and fun to be with. What would we do without them. | |
