I know you've all been hanging out for it so here are a couple of brand new episodes of the Conez and Doh show where we discuss all sorts of hot button issues like: - driverless cars - the shaping of masculinity, from outward bound treks to care bear videos - virtual reality cyber prisons and exciting new pathways in torture and suffering - was Pacman a crack addict? did Donkey Kong unleash AIDS on the world? - How Nickleback could have stopped the Bataclan massacre and the disturbing commonalities between the belgian mastermind of the terror attacks and Hollywood Victim Charlie Sheen - Trump's authoritarianism vs 'P.C. fascism' - what kind of handicap does the Queen have - Weed, weed and weather - Doh gets reader mail on sensitive indigenous topics - Cecil Rhodes gets a chub-on and Stalin shows his sensitive side and much much more, loaded with the laughs and wisdom and bookended by some great original tunes Listen to it (also available on itunes for you Wozniak knob-slobberers)  https://soundcloud.com/user-456894491

katlington posted:Holy poo poo this guy was our defence minister. This is insane. It's ridiculous to think that uncontrolled mass migration to the West might ever pose difficult moral or technical challenges to our nations. Maybe he should focus on the actual responsibilities of a Defence Minister and like, I don't know, maybe actually ensure that our troops have the equipment to discern and discuss the climate-change implications of the helicopter rotor transporting them to the restorative justice based beachball dialogue for the manatees of Kiribati. But who cares about compassionate and humane policies when there are scared bogans around right.

Maybe the idea of 'closing the pay gap' is flawed in that it treats men and women as identical interchangeable economic units rather than two groups whose differing reproductive roles in creating the next generation of society mean that there was always be imbalances between the sexes in many metrics.

EXAKT Science posted:Haha, do you have a source for this one? An example would obviously be imprisonment rates. I can't imagine that there is any society on earth in which women would exceed men by those measurements and yet somehow that feels intuitively to make sense right? As if despite the variations of culture and economics amongst the world's peoples, this imbalance must originate in something to do with a fundamental difference between men and women that is rooted in our nature. Perhaps these imbalances (often complementary) manifest themselves in many areas of life, to the extent that earning equal wages through selling their labour to the market is a rather arbitrary and ahistorical way of measuring equality and respectful, productive relations between the sexes.

BlitzkriegOfColour posted:Socialisation and profiling adequately explains differences in prison incarceration rates. HTH But men have more testosterone than women and testosterone has a well-documented relationship to to aggressive, bold or risk-taking behaviours; Needless to say, the ends towards which these impulses are directed vary wildly depending on the environment, personality, socioeconomic background and opportunities available to a given individual It would certainly seem to be responsible for at least some for the over-representation of both men in jail (or the armed forces) and men in the higher echelons of business or government, a pattern which seems common to essentially every society and culture on which we have information. If there has been a society in which the opposite is true I would be truly interested to avail myself of it. As a side node it just seems odd to me that progressives who lambast the religious denial of evolution seem so averse to acknowledging the role our biology plays in crafting our selves, our desires, our fears and our relationships - and by extension our societies.

hooman posted:Now apply your logic to indigenous incarceration rates and I'm talking about disparities between the sexes which have an well-proven biological basis. As far as I know there is no similar fundamental disparity in the biological make up of men of various races, but if you would like to illustrate to me the clearly-documented differences in chemical, hormonal and anatomical characteristics between Whites and Aboriginal people then feel free.

BlitzkriegOfColour posted:Oh you mean like the recent findings that there are literally no discernible physical differences between the brains of men and women? I was referring to the effects of hormones on behaviour, personality and mood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_sex_differences#Hormones quote:Estrogen and the female brain
