    Yes, now that you mention it, you actually right Biology qualifies as a science, indeed. It's a science of Nature.

    No doubt you know that the foundations of knowledge rest upon mathematics. Now, applied mathematics is basically that which we call physics. Applied physics is chemistry, and applied chemistry is, you guessed it, biology. Then it all fans out in increasingly narrow and specialized fields such as psychology, sociology etc.

    And I don't know why everyone thinks I'm mad. And the avatar I got was given to me as an punishment for being a dick and was removed when I stopped the spamming.

    But you know, otherwise you were right.

    Dark Elf: What you just said is totally true. I actualy should have known about this, but I seems that I forgot all about that. (maybe the coffee did not kicked in, yet.)

    Perhaps I should type faster.

    Wobbler: You did get the Spam cam, (or was it something else?) but does that really counts as a custom avvy?

    Edit: Did not Gross get his custom avvy when he had his 2000+ posts?

    Arthgon, I have recieved several avatars during the years, the spam can being one.

    And yes, I believe that Gross got his after 200+ posts and I know Wolfsbane got his after 2000 posts.

    Gross, that is something I can understand.

    Gender Studies is a branch of Sociology, which uses the Scientific Method, and so is actually more scientific than many other Art Degrees.

    We prefer to refer to them as Humanities subjects as opposed to Arts subjects. Though we still retain the label Bachelor of Arts. Traditions I suppose.

    Yes. Sex is a social construct. There is no such thing as a biological sex. Hormones don't affect anything in the human body. We are bodiless cultural beings. There are no men and women, but men are evil.

    You call that science?

    Gender != sex. Sex is biological which is why it's studied by science. But gender is a social construct which is why it's studied by sociologist.

    I would agree to a certain extent, though I am opposed to the notion that mankind is infinitely malleable and that our bodily compositions and mating strategies in no way influence the way we behave, or how gender roles are constructed.

    Then just be one with Tao. Though, not the Tao I describe.

    Wouldn't it be better to be one with the Tau and fire the lascannons?

    Pretty much everything > Tau really, but wordplay necessarily requires sacrifices.

    I can assure you that the furtherance of the greater good was not the intention of my remark.

    Parents can already choose the gender of their baby at the hospital, or ask the good doctor to give the baby some selective positive genetics. So what will the doctors/scientists think of next?

    Gender studies, that's about the differences of men and women in case of sterotypes, jobs, their rolemodels in different societies (sp?), social, and discrimination, etc. right? Not everything on this subject is that interesting.

    Choosing the sex? Adding positive genes? I must be old fashioned, because I think the best way is naturally. But I suppose certain parents aren't up to raising a natural child, they need one tailored to fit their lifestyle.
