@FXPicoMercader That is a spot on assessment of the two conditions. Being fearful is an overestimation of the risks and fearlessness is an underestimation.

@IHateLesbianss It’s even worse to be an unattractive woman. Almost all of a woman’s attractiveness is based physicality. Atleast “ugly” men can gain attractiveness with money.

@IHateLesbianss @PMeadhbh You eat to satisfy hunger, not to fuel cell metabolism even if the point of eating is to do the latter. Maybe the ultimate point of makeup is sexual, but that doesn’t mean it’s the motivation is for women to wear it.

[Matt Bennett @NaturesFan]

@PMeadhbh 2/2 Animals have sex to experience pleasure, not because they are aiming to replicate their genes. Even if that is the ultimate reason for sex. How do we have a productive conversation about evolutionarily originated behaviours and the subjective feelings associated with them?

@GinaMCalabrese I get it. They give me the heebie jeebies too
