Why are there so few girl characters in kids' movies? And what's up with "purity balls" and this obsession with "naive abstinence"? (I actually have some ideas about where the whole virginity obsession comes from, but I'll save that for another rant.)



That is all.

Ah, I see. I never meant to imply that reproducing made us any different than animals. I don't think we are much other than animals, as it happens.

This subthread further cements my respect for folks like Dawkins who are willing to take on the thankless task of trying to communicate this stuff to folks who aren't in their field. Seems like it's always 10% making points, 90% explaining why you didn't mean what you're being accused of.
