> [@](#): > > Frankly neither am I but what the heck it doesnā€™t change my opinions on what they said anyway so let him/her/it be female. (Snort!) I donā€™t really think I have a say! But since ā€œsheā€ relies on the musings of Richard Lynn in another thread, I will really have to take whatever ā€œsheā€ says with a grain of salt. Lynn says that women arenā€™t as intelligent as men because their brains are smaller. So how much faith can we put in a ā€œScience Girlā€ who claims to be ā€œcoloredā€ and ethnically ā€œbrownā€ and sits around reading/pasting/copying from unscientific sources that tells her how stupid ā€œsheā€ is because of ā€œherā€ race and gender? :smack: ---

After reading through of some of this stuff donā€™t they remind you of a long ago posterā€¦one obsessed with Jews. One that pretended not to be racist but cited racist sites over and over. One that was obsessive about replying to people in long rambling posts. One that honestly believed they were winning every arguement. One that spamed the hell out of the boardsā€¦ In case that wasnā€™t clear enough let me say one more thing. Tug-Ahoy. ---

Iā€™d say **JDT** ā€™s main sticking point was his whole ā€¦ yā€™know ā€¦ circumcision thang. He was a nut, but he was an _original_ nut. His biases were just part and parcel of his overriding sense that all the wordā€™s ills were due to MGM, and not the studio. He was an annoying, stupid rat, but he was original. ---

Gender Genie is a moron! I just input about three or four sentences about what I did yesterday and the stupid thing thinks Iā€™m male because I used ā€œtheā€ more than ā€œfemalesā€ do. :rolleyes: ---

Well, now I look like a ā€œguestā€ and have to see that annoying ā€œyour guest membership is set to expire on April 21ā€ screen, which is a bit of a pisser, seeing as how I ended my posting break specificially to sign up and send in the $4.95. Which Iā€™ve done.

Gender Genie states that it works best if you give it 500+ words or more. But it still said I was male, and when I told it I was female it said I was very butch. I think one of the last words one would use to describe me would be butch, so thatā€™s just sad. ---
