Society/Culture Why do less intelligent people gravitate to conservative/right wing ideology.

[O Grobbecker]

So would I.

Here's a meta-analysis that's far more wide ranging.

There is a significant body of work on the subject. Assuming the entire concept is based off a single study is folly.

Where does that [bolded part] come from ? You posted an article with a controversial heading but without comment. Any reasonable person would assume that it’s the article that is up for discussion. Being a reasonable person, I critiqued the article and you agreed, it appears, with my critique, or at least with the conclusion I drew. Where have I made any comment on your “entire concept”, let alone assumed that it’s based solely upon your posted article ?

When I posted my critique, I was castigated by Gethelred, who, ironically, approved your post, for posting off topic. Episode IV has already posted a response to your post. Can you two sort out what can or can’t be posted in this thread and let us all know ?

Sex is determined at conception in that you inherit one of your mother’s 2 X chromosomes and one of your father’s X or Y chromosomes. The mother or surrogate mother’s hormones can’t change the sex.

So no. We are not all conceived female. Only about 1/2 of us are.

Are you aware that you can be conceived xy and born a woman or intersex?

Conceived xy and born xx?

 

[Grin]

I gather you’re talking about how hormones and other things can affect the way genes are expressed.
If we continue this discussion, the inevitable outcome will be us agreeing that both sex and gender are complex and far from binary, as some of our more right win fellow posters seem to believe.

 

[peetoo]

Whatever the actual science is, it is bad law to define it as at the moment if conception. Could tie up courts for days

Conceived xy and born xx?

No, conceived xy but the chemical mix the mother released caused the baby to be born female…. But xy

In the words of Arthur Daley

‘You don’t get what’s fair in this life Terry, you get what you negotiate’

The US would be better off with Arthur as president now

I'd take either of these Arthurs to be honest.
