your "evidence" that some women had high status, because of the things they were buried with, is not proof that women have enjoyed universal equality throughout history. some women were queens, but it would be silly to conclude that all societies with queens were inherently egalitarian. you might as well might conclude that Margaret Thatcher's use of paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland is a prime example of "girl power" — women who rise to the top of patriarchal societies are usually anti-feminist and see themselves as the exception to the rules they think other women should live under.

and before you go "but but but anarchists" anarchists aren't immune to sexism. there are so many anarchist groups that have fallen apart because men couldn't shut up and do the work. you don't know what you're talking about and you should sit down and listen instead of posting through it.

I used to carry my mother's old, unused purses around. They were perfect for carrying my toys and other small bits in, especially on vacations.

These things are all learned behaviors. What's the modern phrase? "Don't start no trouble; won't be no trouble." Teach your children better.

Please do, "Lev"
Go and be an excitable blowhard somewhere else.
Also, fuck off, you ninny

(There were a whole bunch of times where my coworkers didn't appear to understand that "Can't form a a reasonable opinion with the amount of information available" was even an option. Back when I first started, they were asking for my opinion on topics and systems I knew nothing about, and didn't seem to believe that I truly didn't have any due to that lack of information)

1. You don’t need to be heard. Rather shut up. (See link)
2. You clearly misunderstood what I wrote. Maybe lay off the sauce or change meds
3. You clearly misunderstood the scholarship on the (very contested) interpretation of (very rare) grave goods that (may) suggest that *some* women, in *some* cultures, were *sometimes* also *periodic* participants in warfare in the 300,000 or so years of modern humans.

Fuck off, you blowhard

As an almost 70 year old man, I have some advice for young men. Please boost this if you think it will help 1. Your voice doesn't need to be heard. In fact, realizing that you don’t HAVE to have an opinion on everything and voice opinions or ideas in meetings or social gatherings, is amazingly liberating. You can actually just shut up, and relieve yourself of all that effort and stress. Let Bob utter his embarrassingly dumb idea, let Shirley have a say. You can just let it be for the most part

About half of my shorts are available for free at Physician's Weekly, my eBooks are on Kobo, and my paperbacks are orderable at most any bookseller. My novels are mostly about endearingly psychopathic girls.

First read the free chapters, though.

My fiction is as pithy, but has far more murder and amusingly fatal accidents

Explore them, deeply feel them, and for the most part, thank fuck you won't ever do them. Learn about you

+ 1 and same also for 'playing with oneself'

As my Dad used to say:

"Better to keep your mouth shut and let folks think you might be an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I don't need nor desire your "forgiveness".
I refer you back to point 1.

Your voice, which now exceeds several foolscap pages of red-herring-do, amply illustrates why some men.., nay, men in general, should rather shut the fuck up and not offer their embarrassingly off-key opinions.

Here is my gift to you, "Lev": shut up more

Freedom of speech is not the same thing as demanding to be heard, and more people (young or old) should realise that.

Oh fuck off "Lev"
Go chew a brick or make your own thread

"Grave goods", for fuck's sake
