I'm sure

ahhh, so good. I don't know what there is to say, but I think I liked the "natural" sexual harrassment part the best. They would fail the SATs if they said sexual harrasment is to power like bank robbery is to guns.

It's hard for me to get worked up about ev psych. I mean, anything addressing human behavior that bases its entire thesis on attractiveness to mates is pretty much branding itself boring and irrelevant in my view. Hey guys, guess what? We developed civilization! And culture! And society! And guess what? Our behavior is (has become?) so complex it can't be explained by any single motivating phenomenon.
