Indeed....I remember as a young child, wondering how they got the deer to cross at those places. I remember seeing one of these as a young cadet, and for some reason, still find it somewhat humorous....

When it was revealed that scientific studies published in the new book "The Female Brain" demonstrate that women talk more than men, many of us responded with a collective shrug. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex -- whether romantic, familial or friendly -- knows that women talk more than men. A lot more.
"The Female Brain" indicates that not only do women talk three times as much as men, but they also get a chemical rush in their brains from hearing their own voices. This may explain why women describe "feeling better" after talking about problems or issues in their lives, beyond the mere relief of getting it off their chest.
But what is most fascinating about the book is the background of its author. A neuropsychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco, and the head of a female mood and hormone clinic in San Francisco, Dr. Louann Brizendine is also a self-described feminist. In putting forward the results of clinical work and scientific analysis, Brizendine was forced to concede that everything she had been taught about gender was wrong. That is, men and women really are different. As she put it, "I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men."
None of this will come as a surprise to those already attuned to the politically incorrect reality of gender differentiation, but for those indoctrinated in the feminist school of gender uniformity, Brizendine's words are heresy....

"The science fiction film industry especially, seemed to decide thirty years ago that all commando units are totally gender neutral."
Works for me. If I wanted to see a movie with nothing but hairy legged men, I'd have gone to Brokeback Mountain.
My favorite sign is deer crossing. They actually used the words at one time....but apparently they found out that deer can't read.
Probably. Also, because I was just talking to keep from having to go back to bed but she knew she was transfering natural "mother wit" to the "doubting Thomas" of the family.
And then there's the old "silent treatment"........."the clever killer".

As she put it, "I know it is not politically correct to say this but I've been torn for years between my politics and what science is telling us. I believe women actually perceive the world differently from men."
This is an excellent summation of exactly what's wrong with our culture - replace the issue with global warming, racial profiling, social programs, what have you - the politics lead over the reality. We have a chemical basis to establish that men are different from women (which can be learned in a few short hours of basic biology and hormonal differences), but since it differed from the politics, it was ignored. Shameful, and sad.
I believe and uphold the principles that began the women's rights movement - women should be paid the same, given the same opportunities, not passed over for gender, but men and women will always be different, and that's okay. That's where the movement went off the tracks, and became just a bunch of politically driven nonsense written and punished by men-hating lesbians (Dworkin) and niave followers. (And no surprise that it's just like the Democrat party)
A lot of the friction in our culture is from women trying to act like men, and men trying to act like women, or we're expected to, and we're not comfortable with it. Men like women who act like women, and women like men who act like men - but we're punished and scorned if we act true to our gender.
On top of that, our gender identity has been hijacked and distorted to fit the agenda of the politics - like all men are dumb, ignorant brutes who abuse and torture women, and only seek to keep them barefoot and pregnant, that all sex is rape, all of that nonsense they've foisted off on us for decades.
"I think I was around 5 or so when I figured this out."
Slow learner?
Next thing you know they'll prove that bears crap in the woods.
"This is a huge discovery in San Francessepool. In the Cesse Pool by the Bay, they have long thought that men and women were the same and thus interchangeable."
Actually, I've noticed in the SF area that the predominant attitude is more that women are better in all ways, and women in SF are quick to bash men. The only "acceptable" form of male genders is gay, or metrosexual (a girly man), and real men are put down, scorned, and accused of everything under the sun. This area is ground zero for the "White European Man is the most evil being, responsible for all bad things ever" thinking....but it's never White European WOMEN responsible as well. Hrm!
This is but one women among MANY, and there are a lot of people who feed off the trough this idiotic thinking provides - all those "gender studies" teachers, the books, the symposiums, the conferences, the tv shows, the grant money - there's a lot of people who's world will drastically change if everything the gender folks have been teaching is proved to be wrong - and there's a lot of political clout behind it, people like Boxer and Pelosi and Hillary! back it and endorse it.
Sadly, the only result of this is Stillwell will have to find work in another state, and the smug, snooty Feminazis in SF will still be perched atop their ivory towers, screaching and cawing like the crows they are.
"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."
Pretty much sums up what liberal psychopathology is all about-- the politics of denial.
Remind me sometime to explain the psychoanalytic concept of "pathological tenderness."
See, you are using both sides of your brain. one of the things that make us different. All this according to my hubby. He was smart enough to exempt me from this! Heh heh
Soon to be the basis of a new sitcom starring Rosie O'Donnell.
Too late, I think they already have. There was an article over the summer this year about research showing that a significant amount of the "organic pollutants" in the Chesapeake Bay watershed (well over half if I recall correctly) was from wild animal waste. They were testing DNA, thinking they could get farmers on the hook for it, but found instead bear, deer, canadian geese, etc.
Maybe they'll prove that tall people can reach higher than short people though - that sounds like a solid basis for scientific study... LOL!
