Scientifically studying sex should be a top priority for our society.

In both ends of the spectrum, but particularly in radical feminists, theories are influenced by ideologies and politics, hurting society at large.

Recently, a feminist(president of a feminist university group) told me males were incomplete females(XY would be an incomplete version of XX) and, for that reason, they should have their instincts and behaviour suppressed.

Edit: As some have mentioned, the girl referred to the SCUM manifest http://www.womynkind.org/scum.htm



You know, comments like this would be a lot more credible if they had some sort of evidence to go along with them besides "I had this friend..." or "I got told one time by an x/y/z...".

FWIW, the particular perspective you're quoting is straight out of the SCUM manifesto: http://www.womynkind.org/scum.htm

"The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples."


Thanks for mentioning it, I had no idea of its existence.


That sounds quite radical. Do you happen to have a link to this article? If so I would be interested in writing the board of trustees for that institution.


It's not too hard to find some pretty far out folks from all walks of life where I went to school (CU Boulder). I heard the same thing and more from the students there, and that was 20 years ago. I got a chuckle out of it at the time, but they were very serious about it.
