#3 Also explains why I want to see everybody in Congress with a (D) after their name wired up like that famous Abu Ghraib picture.

#5 LOL, tu! Excellent in-line comments, lol.

I'll buy into the idea that if the pain had been psychological, rather than physical, the wymyns would've responded more like the myns.

There is nothing on this Earth capable of more cruelty than a teen-aged femalian. Myns just beat each other up, heal, and prolly have a beer and laugh about it a week later. Hell, they can end up best friends if neither gives up too quickly and there's no "face" loss (only teeth and blood) involved. Femalians are very different. They say things to each other that penetrate all defenses - and never heal. Like rubber hoses delivered at light speed... the marks are all invisible, but they're there and they're mean brutal hurts. And worse - 30 years later the pain is as fresh as Day One. Vicious little shits, they are. I be sooooo glad to be a myn.

I've always figured that this difference in the socialization process was part of why myns and wymyns are always talking past each other. We don't have all that much of an overlap when it comes to fears and pains, and only slightly more when it comes to rewards and joys. Long-time unfinished theory...

#6 Sadly, this article, and .com's interesting theory, break down when it counts...

...family court presided over by Her Honor Judge Estrogenocidia! Ouch!

#7 "Her Honor Judge Estrogenocidia"

Huh? Lol, it's funny, but are you referring to a real person? Heh - how old is she? Boggle, lol.

#8 Hmmmmmmm.....I don't buy it. I've seen woman savage their cheatin' husbands for years, never letting go. Proving you can indeed get blood from a rock. She didn't feel his pain, she insured he'd feel it. Oh, and they share the moment for years and years with their cabal of friends. On the other hand, I've seen husbands just write it off [and write a number of child support checks] concerning cheating spouses. Now not every time, but certainly enough to question this study.

#10 .com-

Judge Estogenocidia is fictitious, but the character is real (a la all real life one-legged revenge obsessed freaks are embodied in Ahab).

P.S. loved the zug-zug reference... from perhaps the bast bad movie ever:)

#11 Lol, B-Man!

Hyper - Ah, I get it, lol. Thx! I always thought it would have been a hoot to help invent the lexicon for such movies, heh. Z-Z does hit the spot, lol.

#12 But a new brain-scanning study suggests that when guys see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.

Enjoy it? Hell, I'd like to be the one to push the button. Repeatedly.

#13 Study: Men Enjoy Seeing Bad People Suffer

Another BGO (Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious). It must have something to do with spending the past gazillion years being the one who has to go out and open up a can of whup@ss on the vermin who harm our women and children. F&%k with my loved ones even a tiny bit and only your hair won't hurt.

#14 a new study? Three Stooges popularity wasn't obvious enough? Men love it, women don't even try and get it...
