I was raised Catholic, and I asked my mother once why we never saw women as deacons or priests. I was told that women should not be permitted to teach (scripture). There’s a few verses about that in the new testament, in Timothy specifically if I recall correctly.
Imagine how confusing that was for me considering most of the faculty at the Catholic school were nuns! Or that my mother herself was Catechism teacher for Confirmation.
I have an ex that did this well into his 20s,and convinced me to try it one night. I did not understand the appeal lol
Be the change you want to see! Lemmy loves specific animal communities! Bats and superbowl come to mind
I miss fun prints on furniture
Easily solved by using 24hr time!
Are you the weirdo checking the undersides of fern leaves for sporangia? (/j that weirdo might be me)
This is why nerf darts are strictly banned from my home. It’s like they multiply after the first one is lost under a couch cushion
TIL Kate Beckinsale’s daughter is dating Robin
Lol! I had it replaced two months ago. Of course now I’m wondering if Safelite runs Black Friday sales
I used to avoid driving at certain times of day because I thought my astigmatism was making it too difficult to see. Turns out it was my windshield! Cost about $400 to to replace
Love the fake book directly in view lol. I wonder what he keeps in it
Thank you for showing the correct pronunciation of pecan. No one understands me where I live because they all say peecan like weirdos.
No, I don’t care if there are two common pronunciations. Please don’t involve me in your fetish pie
Not all articles that are peer-reviewed and given a doi are credible. Peer reviewers are directly contacted by the editor(s) of a journal, this can introduce bias. That journal, its current and past editor, and the sources of the opinion article have all been advised of bias.
I already had them tagged as “Richard Dawkins lover”, had to laugh when the article they posted had Dawkins as a source almost immediately.
This is from Scientific American in 2017
Everyone’s getting blepharoplasties lately. Her lips are looking like Kylie Jenner’s now, too (nerve damage leaving one side higher than the other)
That’s admirable that you want to be able to respond to arguments in a more thoughtful way, and I’m sorry people were assuming otherwise. I can’t really condense the entire semester of my developmental biology class into a comment, but I tried to give you terms to explore and learn more about.
I read the edit to your original comment and I think you’re on the right path!
The term that might help you is “oogenesis”.
Essentially once cells have begun dividing following fertilization some are set apart as germ cells. These are the cells that eventually become gametes. The thing is, like I tried to mention in my last reply to that guy, it isn’t strictly chromosomes that determine what these cells become in humans. Lots of genetic transcription and translation factors, hormones and hormone receptors, ligands and so on are involved. Sometimes those cells don’t even make it into the gonad, they die, and are absorbed by the embryo’s body.
This is why sex isn’t a binary, there is a spectrum of outcomes following gametogenesis, including a lack of gametes. Statistically it is most likely for a person who is born XX to have primary and secondary female sex characteristics. But that doesn’t mean people who fall outside of that aren’t also “biologically” women. If you define a woman as someone that is born with eggs, you deny womanhood to millions of people that would otherwise be considered a cis-woman by outdated standards.
That person stated one argument and then kept changing it, eventually arguing that we just weren’t understanding his words. Either he’s willfully ignorant and pushing a definition that is not taught in American universities, or he has an agenda. And the refusal to acknowledge the 30+ comments telling him he is wrong really suggests that there is an agenda.
This is how I’m going to refer to myself from now on. “My name is FoxyFerengi. I have no pronouns because my body is unorganized.”
All but one of the authors of this paper are dead. I agree with you though, and I would hope a retraction of a paper as serious as this would trigger a review of all the papers connected to the authors.
