But how does all this space stuff benefit me!??!?!?

I think potential rapists looking for instruction would be rather disappointed if they picked up this text looking for pointers..... seriously though, feminism is turning into a carciture of itself.

Science is rational. That's why feminists hate it.

Feminists don't hate the rational inherently, what they "hate" is male power- that mathematics is a bastion of male power is what the problem is to them. Using irrational arguments and tactics- is perfectly rational- if it wins them the battle against their hated enemy.

Given their track record of success, you can't even really say that their being irrational by being irrational in this instance. They might merely be over-reaching this time because math is so obviously gender neutral that they seem ridiculousness to the average lay person- but that isn't their target anyway. Their targeting college administrations so that they'll hire more feminists as math professors- which in turn means more feminists in charge of the indoctrination centers, aka colleges, further solidifying their control over these institutions.

Its a very very intelligent form of "irrational". There is a reason that women are called "foxy"- its because they're "crazy" like one.

Dupe, /thread-22768....ht=dawkins

Although this just furthers the proof that the inclusion of women into male dominated areas makes the main focus shift from doing actual work and advancement to caring about women's feelings and inclusion into the group.

Feminists and women in general are averse to mathematics because yucky, boring things like number don't take into account their feelings.

This is why feministic arguments are typically grounded in pure verbality, so their hamsters can spin.

Feminists believe that the Age of Elighteenment and everything that came from it is wrong because men made it; they think that rationalism is a form of male logic.

This is actually true.

It is male to be more rational.

But, there's no such thing as any other kind of logic, so they are essentially admitting that they don't have logic.

That's why they complain about so many systemic/infrastructure aspects of our society. They think that it ignores their way of thinking.

I believe if we embrace their way of thinking, which is *not* thinking, but going by emotions, than we will destroy ourselves.

I have a question.

In math, why do wee need "answers"? Why can't we have feelings instead?

If your feelings about a problem are different than mine, why can't we just talk out our feelings like Oprah and Dr. Phil and then hug each other?



Rep point to the first guy to post which bridge this was and why it fell.

Post: #10

Tacoma Narrows aka Galloping Gertie. It fell because it was a suspension bridge over the very windy Puget Sound, harmonic frequency, etc.

Dupe (as noted), but will leave this open since the ambiguous title on the old thread probably kept a lot of guys from noticing it who might have otherwise chimed in.

Yes- I didn't notice it. Dawkins is one of the best, and this just makes him cooler.

google yields Tacoma Narrows Bridge, fell due to high winds inducing oscillations that got stronger over time (or something)

edit: nevermind, you guys beat me to it

Principia Mathematica was written by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. Newton wrote Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.

Oh, and the wind caused the bridge to oscillate at it's natural frequency.

Whatever, it's still clearly a manual for rape

I feel that it is deeply ironic that Newton's book is called a "rape manual". It is a common belief that Newton lived and died as a virgin.

Was Dawkins just doing a stand-up comedy routine or some feminist has actually said that about the laws of physics? Surely people can't be that crazy...
