In modern Science there are no objective truths, what’s true given the facts available today is not necessarily true tomorrow. This article highlights once again the way that our perception of what is ‘true’ constantly changes as we are given more information. Soon we will see a large scale shift in both our collective perception of reality and in our understanding of the cause of our suffering, as the information that we so desperately need to fully understand ourselves is increasingly revealed to us.

sexist opinions from demonspawn, methinks.

What the ****? Women have had equality in countless positions across history, and the collapse of a culture or civilisation has absolutely nothing to do with women being given equality, you sexist pig. I think its hilarious [in a patheticly sad way] that you scramble to blame something or one on the collapse of an entire people on women being given equality? What about spartan women, what about Egypt? What about the amazon women warriors? Who are you to place men higher up on some hierarchy in your mind.

Were repeating history how? Are you honestly of the belief that because women have equal rights to men our world is going to collapse? you couldnt honstly be so tenacious and close-minded.

Wait a second, so it’s a bad article because it questions feminist wisdom? Because it’s not “politically Correct” ?

Pick up “Sex and Culture” by J D Unwin (1934). He does great research into gender relations throughout history.

Roman women had the vote.
Babylonian women were free from “marital rape.”

Of course, history also shows that both cultures collapsed not long after women got such “equality”.

And, of course, we are repeating history right now.

Unfortunately, since Discover has been owned by Bob Guccione Jr., you have published at least three pieces promoting the fraudulent scientists and journalists who peddle the falsehood that HIV does not cause AIDS (a Kary Mullis promo for Harvey Bialy’s hagiography of Peter Duesberg, a Celia Farber interview and, most recently. a profile of Duesberg that suggests his lies and misrepresentations regarding HIV have some legitimacy).

Until this situation is remedied, Discover is in no position to be judging the quality of science journalism.
