I just randomly read two articles that facebook friends had posted on their walls.

The first article was a satirical ranting (well, I'll assume it was satire) by a woman who wishes she were a boy because boys are better at everything, like sports and Maths. Man, talk about stereotyping. It's one thing when a guy stereotypes us women, but when a woman knowingly does it to her own gender... wow, that's just pathetic. Anyway, I say the article was a satire because the author spends the last half of her article talking about how all genocide in history was committed by men, with men as their right-hand-guys.

Then, I read the second article. This was written for some blog that endorses Darwin and the like. It reported the results of recent research reiterating already known facts about female animals that have multiple sexual partners being more likely to carry on the male chromosome. The article's tone was such that this fact about female animals should be generalized to the human race, that women with multiple sexual partners will be more likely to help carry on the human race, specifically men.

Does anyone else see the connection here? My only thought after diagonally reading the two articles was: "If men are the brains behind genocide, then wouldn't it stand to reason that women should refrain from multiple sexual partners?"

Just a Saturday night thought...
