At the end of the novel, five options for human reproduction are presented: Only partners for life will be able to reproduce, and only once every decade. Parthenogenesis, with …

Women Discover Life on Mars
Should we fund a mission to Mars? Sure. Give us a bit of time and we can make that planet uninhabitable too. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed watching MARS. Why? Because the three astronauts who walk out onto the planet’s surface at the end to discover life on Mars are all women. Not a token …

How many times?
Men are incredibly selfish and irresponsible. Every time they have sexual intercourse without a condom, they prove it. Because every time they have sex without a condom, they risk making someone else’s life a living hell for twenty years (that’s what it’s like to be a parent against one’s will). All for ten minutes of …

Testicular Battery and Tranquilizer Guns (what the world needs now is)
Given the relative vulnerability of men to sexual assault (all it takes to disable them is a swift forceful kick, or, at closer quarters, a good grab, pull, twist – almost anything, really) (whereas women have to be partially undressed and then immobilized), it’s surprising that we hear far more often about rape than – …

Surrogacy – Why Not?
Sure, women should be allowed to be surrogates. We all do work with our bodies, some of us also include our minds in the deal (some of us are allowed to include our minds in the deal), so why not? As long as they get paid for service rendered. Being a surrogate is sort of …

Sex and Gender Conflated
I recently spent some time at another blog (someone had linked to one of my posts and invited me to the discussion), and I discovered that several of the discussants conflated gender and sex. I was shocked. (And in fact, that possibility so didn’t occur to me that I continued the surreal discussion for some …
