Default Interesting article on genetic differences between men and women

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4355355.stm

One thing I thought was interesting is that men are more likely to be retarded and more likely to be geniuses than women.

It makes me feel unequal to females. From the moment I was born, I was already at a disadvantage. I don't appear to be damaged though, so I guess I'm lucky.

About a week ago in Psychology we watched a documentary about XXY males and females. They were in-between people who had both reproductive organs in addition to female and male traits. And two of the people featured were born and raised as a males but as they grew up they felt more like the other gender. So both guys eventually decided to become females.

Nature is mysterious.

I believe this study is stupid.

Males have always been the dominant sex in society.

Many non-hermaphroditic men would say the same.

Don't you get it? Scientists are basically saying that women have it better because they have "more genes". Thats so silly.

But, I don't really care. My feeling is that men and women are the way they are because God made men more likely to be retarded than women. Thats part of his plan

Oooh, don't bring Him into this. We all know that science and God are from different planes of reality and that all of mankind would explode if one were to explain the other. *gasp*

well there is no way that God could explain science since we can't communicate with him.

but maybe science will be able to explain God one day...i have my doubts, but who knows?

Are you kidding me? God gave us science so we can peer deeper into his divine plan.
