Re: Once again, it's patriarchy
Women are trained by our society to take up less personal space than men, so they keep their arms in and sit with their legs crossed, even when they're wearing pants.
Wow! I didn't even know that women were trainable. Thanks for the tip, dude.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Re: Once again, it's patriarchy
Gee, you mean you can train women with pretty pictures in glossy magazines? I figured it would take actual cosmetics, or at least small fish dangled over their heads.
How did you become so wise in the ways of training women?

Re: Once again, it's patriarchy
Simple, really.
Well, I never thought they were, but I'm sure you know best.

Are we sure that these are the real EvC posters putting up these messages and not more hackers? 'Cuz this thread started kinda weird, but it just took a left turn into WTF City, Az.

Re: Center of Gravity
If you put a chair up against the wall and then stand bent over it with your body forming a 90 degree angle and your head meeting the wall, a man will not be able to pick up the chair while a woman would.
Not quite.
They can both pick up the chair, the challenge is to then stand straight up. However, in order for this to work, as I understand it, both need to got heel to two three times to determine how far away from the wall they stand. And, the man can't push off the wall.
There's a discussion of this at an old snopes forum board here.
