Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Sex differences

From Denying the neuroscience of sex differences:



 Gloria Steinem once called sex differences research “anti-American crazy thinking.” Senior colleagues warned me as an untenured professor around the year 2000 that studying sex differences would be career suicide. This new book by Rippon marks the latest salvo by a very small but vocal group of anti-sex difference individuals determined to perpetuate this cultural myth...


It is always sad to see science politicized. Nothing good ever comes from it.

For those willing to trade in minority status the arbitrage can be profitable. Demand equal treatment, which really means special treatment but when the going gets tough demand victim status. That is the real agenda of POC, feminism and LGBQT. This is supported by an army of trial lawyers, the class action laws and of course the so-called "equality" laws that in actuality make a special class of people more equal than others. It's a good gig. Now, let's talk about reparations...

Mixing science and politics is like mixing ice cream with feces, the result always smells and tastes more like the latter than the former.

Funniest (and truest) line in the article: "The mammalian brain is clearly a highly sex-influenced organ."

Or, as my Old Sarge used to say, "Were you thinking with your big head or your little one?"

The enlightenment has progressed all the way to the gutter. It could never develop and maintain moral standards and instead did all it could to rape Christian moral standards.
