Interesting article.

Men's brains are superior, but no one in their right mind (har har) would suggest taking away rights from women, yet people claim youth have inferior brains as justification for their denial of rights.

Furthermore, while the article focused on women's increased likelyhood to get into an accident, the important stat was that men are much more likely to get into a fatal accident. Why don't we ban all men from driving? Like we do with many teens?

It's also patently untrue; men's brains are superior at certain things, on average such as strategy (hence strategy gaming being mostly a male pasttime); but clearly inferior at managing social dynamics and other things. Furthermore, this is simply on average; it is a poor statement to make even then because of the many people where this is quite the other way around.

The key part of the driving stats is that guys may crash less often, but our crashes tend to kill people. I bet that, when viewed from the standpoint of death and/or serious injury, men are the more dangerous drivers. I'm sure of it, in fact, because it's the basis for the insurance rates you see for young male drivers. An insurance company (rightly) sees 2 fender benders as less of a problem than 1 fatal crash.

As for the rest... I think this says it all:

So I don't understand why more women don't relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home. In my (limited, of course) experience... lots of women *do* do that. Lots and lots of 'em. It's a good thing, however, that those who don't want to, don't have to.

To the article. At a nightclub all women do is sit on their ass and ask for people to buy them drinks. They want you to hold the door open for them. Well all of these things are done because women are too fragile and stupid to know how to buy liquor or push instead of pull WHEN THE SIGN SAYS PUSH. No other sex sits around the house with as much indignation as women have done consistently since the days of the hunter-gatherers. And now they can't even control their own junk and want to abort their children willy nilly.

It is legal to get a learner's permit at 15 in most states and be driving on your own by 16. Letting kids drive earlier than this (like, what do you want? 13 year olds driving? preteens whose balls have not dropped?) would result in demonstrably higher accident rates.

Adults have to drive, and it is too bad they have such high accident rates. Most kids don't need to drive, and they would have MUCH higher accident rates. Figure it out, I am out of time for your drifting.

What kind of test are you thinking of?

I'm totally in favor of stricter testing.

Why are we discussing Ozzy's pet issue in a thread that doesn't talking about it?

I saw this article in Sunday's Outlook and enjoyed it, though I have no idea what she hopes to accomplish other than a lot of incoherently angry replies (which might be a worthy goal in itself).

Leaving aside the breathtaking illogic of the rest of your post, which I'll take as par for you, how many different sexes are you aware of? I only know of men and women. I guess you could include hermaphrodites, transsexuals and people born sans genitalia, but they're all rare and I have no idea how they behave--at nightclubs or elsewhere. Dare I ask how you know?

Don't tell Dolores I said that. Wow, polytubbies have the power to prevent Lancer from getting laid for at least a week.

It is just as patently untrue for youth as it is for women. You probably know the answers better than I, but let me proffer the idea that woman can not generally be anything but women, and men nothing but me, whites nothing but white, hispanics nothing but hispanics etc etc. The young metamorphise into the old and so as a lobby group their population changes far too rapidly to maintain interest in true political debate.
