I think the idea is also that you don't have to make one "better" than the other. Sexism just requires ascribing to the idea that sex is a sufficient determinant of the roles somebody will play in society, I think.

'Being male shouldn't hamper my ability to birth children.' -_-

We're working on that one, I think.

On a side note, research has shown that GTA and other such over the top games have surprisingly little effect on behavior of human beings, because they're so over the top. Which, supposedly, makes it harder to relate and adopt said behavior. More realistic depictions can have a far larger influence.

Fair enough. "...of the roles somebody will play in society, other than those derived directly from anatomy, I think."

Yup. I'd be terribly surprised if we didn't have the capability to do so fairly easily in my lifetime (say, within next 30-40 years), if not necessarily the ready infrastructure et al to do it. Last I looked at it, we were already pretty close a few years back. The parts of medical science not in a corporate circle jerk reinventing the same pills are doing some pretty impressive stuff, really...

You can implant a fertilized egg in a man's abdominal wall and it'll stick and start to grow.

Big problem is how do you get it out later.

Do men grow a placenta to support the embryo more than a few days?

 

[kaijyuu]

IIRC no, but can't we make artificial placentas these days?

Sounds like way better torture than waterboarding.

All of my fences on the bottom and right sides have decided to run off my desktop. Resetting the resolution does absolutely nothing to help, and I have no clue how to get them back where they should be.

I want to get back to my Sims 3 LP, but my brain KEEPS going 'naaaaaaaaah', or when I feel like doing it, I can't because I'm busy.

Re-read the LP. You know which one.

Getting yelled at to set up my room, even though the floor and the walls are not even done. They always complained that I don't hang around them and now they want me to go back to sitting in my room. As much as I want to be able to sleep in my own bed instead of the couch, I don't want to sleep in a cold, damp, dirty basement.

My mom took my laptop off of me to do her banking on it.

There was a flood in the basement, in the furnace room. No idea how that happened, but thankfully it didn't touch anything electrical.

E:Cleaning up dog shit and clearing fallen tree branches in the rain with no coat. How fun.

What the hell happened to Answers.com? Sure, the stuff I just read (in a different question) was informative but why did I have to read three paragraphs in 15 word chunks backed by irrelevant stock images. I half expected cyborg woman with corn to show up.

There's too much sodium in everything. ಠ_ಠ

It's how cheap foods manufacturers make their shit taste better.

That, or processed sugars.

Belt burned out on the washing machine. Spent close to two hours bailing water out and wringing everything out so I could dry it, so that I can pack it to get back to uni, so that I can wash it there.

[wierd]

Silly silly... Just use a waterhose and siphon it out.
