Answer a Question with a Question...

[hollydolly]

Did you ever hear of Margaret Thatcher ?

 

[StarSong]

While I admit to never having followed Mrs. Thatcher or her career, despite whatever her stances don't you think there are fewer war-mongering women than men in politics?

 

[Rosemarie]

Men have the minds of hunters, which means they focus on a single intent, do you think this makes them a more dangerous enemy?

 

[StarSong]

Nearly all male mammals - herbivores, carnivores and omnivores - are more prone to battle than the females of their species; do you think testosterone or similar hormones cause that behavior?

 

[mike4lorie]

Do you think the human female battle more than the males?

 

[StarSong]

Physical battles? No, do you?

 

[mike4lorie]

Physical or Verbal?

 

[Kaila]

Has anyone heard about the insect, Praying Mantis, wherein the female eats the male, when no longer required?

 

[mike4lorie]

Does that not answer my previous questions?

 

[Rosemarie]

Surely after mating, the male has no further use?

 

[Kaila]

But why must she eat him then?

 

[Rosemarie]

Is it so that no other female will have the same off-spring?

 

[hollydolly]

Would you opt for chemical castration for the human male after he's produced the first offspring ?

 

[Kaila]

What sort of direction is this thread going now?

 

[StarSong]

Wouldn't you agree that's the question of the day?

 

[Kaila]

Do we need a new answer, perhaps?

 

[Rosemarie]

Don't you think the world might be a better place if women only mated with the best breeding stock?

 

[StarSong]

I don't know about the rest of you, but that worked well for me, @Ruthanne!

Didn't it often feel like the best male breeding stock weren't interested in breeding with women?

 

[Gemma]

How would you define the "best" breeding stock?

 

[Rosemarie]

Doesn't that rather depend on what sort of children you want to produce?

 

[StarSong]

Oh, I was focusing on the breeding act itself. Were you asking about the very different objective of actually producing children?

 

[Rosemarie]

In other animals, the male has to prove his worthiness before the female allows him to mate. Would it be better if humans did the same?

 

[hollydolly]

Does anyone think the younger males of today seem less masculine than the did when we were younger ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, but isn't it likely that pollution is affecting their hormone levels?

 

[mike4lorie]

Is it something to do with the water today?
