It may be more than 11 million....

An entire generation caught up in this ridiculous dress up nonsense.

The best selling and most hated book of all time prophesized all of it. It's almost as if there is One who knew.

Sodom and Gomorrah

Renewed!

Well what are these supposed eleven?

1. Perception
Women have smaller brains that are more tightly packed with connections. This allows them to perform better at tasks involving the bigger picture and situational thinking. A man’s brain tends to perform better at spatial thinking involving recognizing patterns and problem solving with objects in a spatial environment.

2. One Track Mind
Men tend to excel better at singular tasks while women are better at juggling a number of tasks at once. This may stem from the primordial male role of the hunter who is fixated on a singular objective while the traditional female role of manager of the home forced her to juggle many tasks simultaneously.

3. Social Interactions
Women tend to perform better in social situations than men do. Men tend to excel at more abstract thinking and task-oriented jobs. Again, this may stem from the traditional gender roles whereby women had to work together to accomplish more complex tasks while men spent more time alone stalking prey.

4. Dealing With Emotions
Women have a larger limbic system in their brains which allows them to be more in touch and expressive about their emotions. Men tend to be a little oblivious with emotions that are not explicitly verbalized. Men tend to be more logical in their thinking and dismiss information that is not directly involved with the issue they are tackling. Women tend to be much more empathetic and susceptible to emotions influencing their thinking.

5. Do the Math
Men tend to have larger inferior parietal lobules than women. This area of the brain is thought to control mathematical ability and processes. Men tend to do better with math because of this. This isn’t to say that there are not women who are great at math, but that men have a small biological advantage when it comes to math and logic based skills.

6. Dealing With Pain
The amygdala is the area of the brain responsible for pain. Pain is activated in either the right (men) or left (women) hemispheres. The right side is more connected with external stimuli, while the left is more connected to internal stimuli. Women tend to feel pain more intensely than men do because of this.

7. Learn Languages
Women tend to be better at learning languages and are more attuned to words and sounds. This may be why men tend to find it harder to express themselves verbally. It may stem from the increased demand on women over millions of years to cooperate and organize in order to manage large complex tasks.

8. Women Remember Better
Women tend to have higher activity in their hippocampus, the region responsible for forming and storing memories, than men do. Studies have shown that women tend to remember faces, names, objects and events better than men.

9. Ask for Directions
Men tend to have better spatial-reasoning skills and are better at remembering geographic details. They tend to have a better innate sense of direction and remember where areas and locations are. This ability most likely stems from their days as hunters when men had to navigate long distances without the aid of a map and compass.

10. Risk Taking
Men tend to be more likely to take risks. Women tend to be more risk-averse. Men get a bigger dose of endorphins when they take risks. The bigger the risk, the larger the pleasure derived from the risky behavior. Men may be specialized to take more risks because of early human’s need to hunt down food which may be larger, stronger, and more dangerous than a single man. Hunting is also inherently dangerous as you think some predator may be stalking you while you are stalking another prey animal.

11. Sex
Men tend to be more visual in what arouses them, while women tend to be turned on by a combination of things like ambiance, emotions, scents as well as visual perceptions.

While equal, men and women have different biological strengths and weaknesses. These differences may stem from a very long period of specialization between genders. Humans have been hunter/gatherers much longer than we have been civilized farmers and tradesmen. This long period of adaptation to changing environments may be responsible in some small part for traditional gender roles based on biology and physical specialization. Men and women, while different, are complementary like a knife and a fork.

I actually agreed with the differences and was well aware having experienced them as a female and witnessed them in my male husband. I thought the article was pretty spot on.

Interesting. I do notice that the article is heavily based in biological psychology, though. I’m not trying to discredit it, don’t get me wrong, I’m just wondering if these differences may be caused by different factors as well, like socialization or how one is raised (In other words, if someone with XY chromosomes was raised how our society raised women, would they exhibit the thinking patterns listed here of a man or woman?). After all, not every society on Earth has been patriarchal, and I’m curious if that affects one’s psychology and perception of gender

According to the research, no, because the brain structure is different. I grew up female and always knew I was female. I never felt otherwise than to be attracted to males. I think it is innate in most people.

I believe socialization definitely does influence sexual orientation, and that is why I am so against our schools taking on the role of parents rather than sticking to academics. Teachers should keep their personal beliefs to themselves especially when the innocence of children is involved.

I don't find it to be 'coincidental' that many movie stars' children turn out to be confused as far as their sexuality goes. I remember reading of one star who had two children who were thinking they were the opposite of how they were born. This mass psychosis is fueled by attention and rewarded by many today.

I would disagree with you on that. I think that people are born with an inherent sexuality, and the reason we see more of it today is not because big, scary institutions are forcing that onto people, but rather because it’s become more socially acceptable to come out as a different sexuality. Kind of like how when the stigma behind being left-handed was erased, there was a huge surge in left-handed people, then it leveled out to natural levels.

As for gender, I understand your position, but I don’t entirely agree with it. That being said, we could perform a study that could elucidate the issue. Let’s say the article above is completely correct, the end-all-be-all of distinguishing gender. We could use that as a base to form a questionnaire, then have a representative sample compromised of nine groups (Cis men, Trans men, Intersex people who identify as male, Cis women, Trans women, Intersex people who identify as female, Non-binary people assigned male at birth, Non-binary people assigned female at birth, and Non-binary Intersex people) answer said questionnaire. To prevent subjects from confounding the results, they would be told that it’s a new type of IQ test at the beginning, and then after they have taken it, told the true nature of the questionnaire, being the relation between thought processes and gender

From there, we can analyze the results of the questionnaire. If you are correct and this way of thinking is strictly biological, then we should see most of it all participants of the same gender assigned at birth answer similarly. If my hypothesis is correct in that these thought processes reflect one’s gender identity, then we’d see people of the same gender identity all answer similarly. Or maybe we are both wrong and the answers show no pattern in relation to gender at all

We really are polar opposites and will most likely never have a meeting of the minds but I wish you well, 959...

Hey, opposites can get along. Heck, we may be more alike than you think. We both clearly care a whole lot about America and think it currently has flaws, we just have different solutions to that. As far as I’m concerned, as long as someone is willing to respect the other side of An argument, we can be friends. I’m friends with some people who think just like you politically, and I’ve had to cut ties with people before despite political similarities. The way I figure, morality isn’t decided by political ideology.

Clearly we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot, but I’m sure we can find some common ground. I apologize if I’ve offended you in the past. So from one America loving woman to another: truce?

So, you are female? Interesting. How come you referred to yourself as a 'person'? Although I am a person as well, I generally have used 'female, wife, mother, grandmother,' to describe myself. Are you like I am (hetero) or do you identify as something else or as a furry?

Quite honestly, if you support open borders without vetting and refer to illegals as newcomers, we probably will never be besties. If you support the kid gloves treatment (along with low or no bail) of the criminal population, we probably won't have much in common. If you think 'family fun' includes exposing your kids to drag shows, we have very different parenting techniques.

In short, IMO, morality HAS taken political sides in the New World Order and your side definitely has come up on 'empty'. If you don't see the destruction old Joe has doled out since being installed, it is impossible for you to love America, 959. Sorry (but not sorry) to be harsh as it is THE TRUTH and our standards have just about hit rock bottom with Democrats today.

Evil vs Good

imgflip.com/i/805edd

Quite frankly, I only used the word “person” in my tag to spoof of yours. Hope you weren’t offended by my little joke. Don’t know where you got the furry part, though, because I’m not part of that.

And yes, I do think illegal immigration is a problem. That being said, I find most solutions presented by the GOP to be ineffective. How is a southern border wall going to prevent illegal immigration when just as much of it comes from the northern border? Not to mention how the rhetoric around it has led to racism around Hispanic Americas.

I don’t like it when criminals are left off the hook. I’d say we definitely need an overhaul of the police and justice system, but while “Tough on Crime” attitudes get more criminals behind bars, it doesn’t seem to do much to prevent crime itself. Not to mention how crime rates between red and blue states are generally the same (and before you say “but what about unreported crime?” There’s little evidence to suggest those rates differ between red and blue states, either). We need to find new solutions here, I think.

No, I don’t think children belong in an environment of adult drag shows. That being said, not all drag performances are like that. That’d be like saying kids aren’t allowed in movie theaters because some of their movies are rated R. That being said, I don’t fear my kid learning about different gender identities or similar topics. After all, most queer people I know, myself included, were raised in a completely straight environment and still turned out the way they are. And if my kid turns out that way, she’ll have a loving family to accept her, as any parent should provide to their child.

Now about morals in politics. My answer to that is, “girl, what morals?” There’s pretty much no such thing as a moral politician, they’re only in it for themselves. Party affiliation makes no difference, they’re pretty much all scumbags. And we can’t install religion into the government thanks to the Establishment Clause of the first amendment (which is necessary to protect the religious freedoms of each American), either. Heck, when it comes to American morality, I see no difference between now and 2016 on a widespread scale. Best we can do is stay hopeful and spread good will amongst our neighbors. I don’t see many elections as “evil vs. good”, as there’s not much good to go around in there in the first place. I don’t like that it’s that way, but it’s just how it is

Unfortunately, the political situation in America has come down to EVIL versus GOOD. Period. End of story.

America cannot survive the open border chaos. The EVIL side has embraced and facilitated it along with many other anti-American policies.

Sounds like you need to turn off the news and social media. All they want is your attention and money, and will sell you that narrative to keep you afraid and to keep watching.

And let me be clear, I hate flag burnings and “Death to America” chants just as much as you do. You’ll find most people across the political spectrum agree on that. We recognize that it’s protected speech, but that doesn’t mean we condone it. What happens is that the news will focus dead set on this very small minority and blow it out of proportion, saying “All [insert political affiliation here] are like this!” It happens to the left wing with things like this, and to the Right Wing with things like “All conservatives are KKK”, which is clearly false too.

I don’t doubt you have left-leaning family members right now. Talk to them. Open up and respect each other’s differences. Meet halfway with them. You can keep your beliefs as long as you respect the other side. And if it looks like things will get heated, return to common ground and try again. That’s how my grandmother taught me how to talk politics, and it’s a lot less stressful and easier that way. And we were completely opposite on politics, yet I always felt we could discuss things with each other without blowing up. And it gives me hope that this polarization can end one day and we as a country can go back to working together for a common good
