["Social scientists suspect such emotions are part of women's nature, feelings that evolution may have favored because they helped women bond with one another and work cooperatively."]

Evolution of emotion?

Yes.

Really?

Yes, really.

I wonder what the genetic structure of that looks like?

The same as the genetic structure of other traits: sequences of nucleotides. For example:

A brief tidal wave for NYC, and an earthquake for So.Cal.?


I think God promised no more "great floods".

Gee a "gay" newspaper taking innocent hero worship and turning it into a homosexual wet fantasy.

NYT? so I was right, it IS from a "gay" newspaper.

I was not debasing the story. It is one of my favorites. You'll note I refer to it as a touching story of a wonderful friendship.

But hey, you sound like a fun FReeper. Tell me, what was it like during time of the Puritans? Were you one of the people who locked people into the stocks for being insufficiently pious?

Sounds like somebody was having trouble coming up with original material for a column. This NYT story looks like a retread of a student paper editorial titled "Just a Little Girl Crush", written in 2003: "She caused me to stop in my tracks. Rather than progressing up the road to the next store, I stood still on the corner and waited until she was out of sight. Call it what you will: Envy, jealously or hatred. I call it a girl crush." Etc.

Read the 2003 article here.

Why? As a female, I find it to be very true. And very sad.

This article promotes lesbianism. To admire someone or notice their charisma is normal - but that's where the line is drawn.
