Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, but Pop-psychologists are from Uranus
Check out this article, about a review of all the research that's been done into gender differences. Challenges a few preconceptions.
Interesting that sexual promiscuity was one of the few differences that stood up to scrutiny: men want to do it more, and aren't as bothered who with, compared with women. So, gay men tend to have more sexual partners because they're men, not because they're gay. |

I have thought for a while (not just in this thread if I ever mentioned this) that men and women are not that different.

Heh! Why use one when 20 will do?
I agree. We get so focused on the differences between people that we forget that we're all Jock Tamsin's Bairns |

Should we be intolerant of mis-spellers, too? or merely intollerant ?

I think inked was just having some fun with the Popper quote, which contradicts itself.

brownjenkins,
I freely admit my prejudices towards health and I get characterized as homophobic because I cite delineations of studies of the risks of homosexual behaviour and the correlative heterosexual behaviours. Go figure. Clearly your prejudices are better than mine, but you've never been able to demonstrate that conclusively because you allege the relativism of morality. I fail to see how your characterization of my prejudices has any more "correctness" since it's all relative anyway. But we have been here before on many threads. FYI : http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/co...ersons_en.html I have posted this in full in the AVE PAPA thread but it doesn't show up on the new posts or today's posts for reasons unknown to me (unless it may be presumed to be a "prejudice" excluder? ).

sometimes i just have a hard time connecting the dots with your posts about studies for instance, let's buy your point for a moment that male homosexual activity is dangerous to your health... where do we go with that info? do we villify homosexual activity in general, or do we point out to them the ways that their lifestyle can be practiced that make it safer, as we do with heterosexuals? i see a lot of pointing out of problems but very little in the way of proposing realistic solutions (or even unrealistic ones, for that matter)... isn't healthcare ultimately about helping everyone, no matter what style of life they choose to practice?

Hey, BJ, when the signs say "Reduce speed...Dangerous Curve Ahead" is it a matter of heterosexual or homosexual or simply a matter of slowing down? Or does it make a difference if you have a condom or not? Or if you have used substances to alter your sensorium? Same difference, IMHO, behavior is determinate. You need to know the risks. How you choose to act MAY depend on what you know.
Lots of proposed solutions, BJ, you just don't like them. Not that you are alone, of course.

I believe that is known as attributive attack. You attribute what you wish so you may attack a straw man. However, if you cannot correlate the behaviours, allow some research to do so: "The following figures are taken from one of the largest (850 pp.) studies on this subject, "The Gay Report" (1979), by two homosexual researchers, Karla Jay and Allen Young. The pair and their respondents are stunningly candid. According to their research: Around 99% of homosexual males engage in oral sex; 91% engage in anal sex; 82% engage in "rimming"......., 22% engage in "fisting"............., 23% engage in "golden showers".............., and 4% engage in "scat" ..............and in "mud rolling".............." I await your correlative heterosexual data on percentage participations. Most studies of which I am aware report ~25% of heterosexuals report anal intercourse. I do not recall a percentage of rimming in heterosexual studies but would gladly be enlightened. I have never see "fisting" reported on a percentage basis in hetersosexuals, nor for that matter golden showers or scat or mudrolling. I do not deny that the behaviours could be performed by heterosexuals. The incidence if occuring would be much less in all categories, most likely, as the marked differential in anal intercourse attests. But, please, show me the studies to prove me wrong that BEHAVIOUR is the difference.
