...another animal-based proposal for eugenics from feminazis and the NY Times.

"Voles, not to be confused with the burrowing, hill-making mole..."

I'm guessing that only a NYT reader would make that mistake.

[SIDENET]

Oh, sure. It's all GENETICS and we don't have any control over our actions.

More junk science from the Slimes.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.

So should women seek men with the longest possible DNA ...

Should I say it?

[Conservatrix]

This article says a whole lot of nothing.
Choices are not genetic. Yet another attempt to explain away bad behavior because of genetics.

Vale of the Vole?

LOL

lol. Remember during the 70s, the big pick up line was: What's your sign? (astrologic). It's possible the new pick-up sign of the 2000s is being geared towards: What's your gene read-out say... Show me your genes, and I'll show you mine... (heavy breathing)

Let's see if our "genes" are compatible.

Oh sorry, can't date you, I'm a level 18, and you're a level.. 11. Bye!

"Although our genetic composites make out well in re compatibility -- Venus conjunct Jupiter. I mean. Gene 3 conjunct your Gene 13 means our child will never be socially adept; no children for us. Let's take a pledge of compatibility!

Scientology dating sounds so boring to me.

[longtermmemmory]

seems like a publish or perish BS article. Produce a PC hypothesis and then pray for the power of PC to yield funding when in competition with feminist (garbage) studies departments.

Kill anything that is related to a mole, sounds like mole or looks like mole. The little bastards are a menace.

[Paul Atreides]

I fail to see the connection between what a rodent does and what a human does.

I can just imagine the uproar if someone wrote an article posing the comparison of women and some bird that is constantly squawking.

Evolutionary Psychology junkscience alert.

Evolutionary Psychology junkscience alert.

I disagree. This could prove to be quite vole-atile. The literature will be vole-uminous, and will impact our theories of human vole-ition.

Is there an e-vole-ution ping list?

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.
