  • All Stereotypes Are True

    Men do not cheat to ‘trade up’ so much as satisfy the need, which is not much different (any really) from drug addiction. Women cheat to see if they can trade up, and are willing to trade up (for financial reasons). Women are likely to forgive for financial reasons whether they love or not. Men are more likely to forgive because they love their wives (and loyalty) women are less likely to forgive because they are less likely to love their husbands (devotion), since their devotion almost entirely to their kids. (Really).

  • Words Do Hurt.

    —“Women know that words hurt. Notice how they are always quarrelling among themselves. Sometimes these feuds last decades. Sometimes they try to torment those they hate by seemingly ignoring them.Woke men know that words hurt. This is why it is necessary for men to punish all forms of gossiping, rallying, shaming, passive aggression and spite.Saying that words don’t break bones is simply lies. The correct way to put it is that words are a cheaper and readily available means of aggression.”— Den Tsatsu (Teacher Ayelam Agaliba)

    —“The IQs of racial groups in the United States, including East Asians … includes data from the NAEP, TIMSS, PISA, ACT and IQ tests, that puts the East Asians in the US at 103.3 to the US Whites 100. And the East Asians do relatively worse on verbal tests than on mathematical tests in every single test in every single year.”—

    The great utility of our retained diversity of expressible traits from neoteny to its reversal, and from gender traits and dimorphism to their reversal, to tolerance for ingroup vs out, is responsible for much human variation – if not all of it. No idea why you’re stuck on this.
