I was just gonna make a thread in the Women's Discussion forum asking "Where's the Men's Discussion forum?"

But I just found this little sliver of a sub forum here...

So much for equality.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

From Time Enough for Love. One of my favourite books :D

What other book contains a bullet point list with tips for life?

Who else but Lazarus Long could win epic space battles while wearing a kilt?

My vocation was in the use of human power, integrating fitness with daily activity. My work on flexible structures is still cutting-edge. Now, I'm most interested in exposing the false assumptions on which feminism is based. Gender issues don't respond like racial issues except for the rare people on the cusp between heterosexual and homosexual genetic disposition. Those became the avant-garde for women adapting to the Industrial Revolution, and now they are trying to impose androgyny on everyone. By nature, we are symbiotic, not substantially identical.

BTW, I now get around most of the crashes here just by "copying" my entry before trying to post it, so I can paste it elsewhere for later re-posting if necessary.
