Sure, fine, let's just agree to disagree. It's hard to back out of an argument gracefully without seeming like the sore loser.
It's just off-putting to be baited this way and that with certain subjects (biology, genetics, symantics) only to be pounced on with a contradiction. It's a big "who knows more trivia than the other?" debate.
The book by Olivia Judson is required reading for the Sexual Behaviour class at the University of Toronto and has a humorous vein that makes it enjoyable to read but everything is backed up by scientific fact. But you assume it is a humor book before you even looked it up. You say that if we questioned everything that is supposed scientific fact then nothing would ever get done but it seems that every detailed fact can be contradicted with another one. It's not that I don't want to hear them- well, it's just because I disagree. I could say the same for you.
I just don't want to see girls settling for less when they can have someone on the same level as them. It's really, really hard to maintain that kind of relationship but it's very worth it. (chemi has the right idea)
