Well that certainly explains a lot about her insane ideas. Sounds very Giulianiesque to me. "Submission is freedom!" or whatever he said. Obedience is freedom, or something like that.

Work brings freedom.

@SG-17: Not really. Many atheists hate the idea of god, because of the damage they see it as doing to the world. That's likely what the sign was supposed to mean. That's assuming, of course, that it wasn't just some ignorant priest with his head up his arse who put it up.
 
Question: I found this really weird site called Conservepedia (sp.) Is it real or some sort of parody?

You're joking, right? Have you ever read an Ayn Rand novel? Like Atlas Shrugged, for instance?

Yeah, see, this is the problem I was trying to communicate to Dachs and others, folks have never read many of my, or probably many other posters' posts. Same thing I said before about parodies applies here, though I support the Objectivication of women. (PS: I've written an essay which I've discussed in anecdote threads and extensively written about Rand here...)

Oh, also, I agree that solemnity is not the word you're looking for. It's more along the lines of "serious" as in "morose" or "macabre." A newspaper isn't well described by solemnity unless you're talking about like an obituaries page, which doesn't seem the case.

Yahoo is a very popular website, and it's where many people go for easy answers -- but the easiest answers are most often the ignorant ones.

Women seek an alpha male. Alpha males aren't little pansies that have difficulty talking to women.

Actually, some recent research in apes has shown that the alpha males aren't as good with the females as previously assumed. Alpha males often have to actually use violence to get sex rather than just appearing confident. Females most frequently cheat with the more passive males, especially if these females already have children and want help caring for them. Bonobos of course take this to an extreme, as their female solidarity means that would be alpha males tend to get beat up by a group of females who then all deny them sex for a long time.


Also, the birth control pill has been shown to reduce a woman's dire for more macho men, making women prefer more feminine men in this generation than previously.


The only documented human pheromone is found only in male armpit sweat, so sweating or wearing sweaty clothes around women may help. However, as it makes them lean more towards more macho men sweating nervously probably won't help, and could make the woman more attracted to someone else.



From my experience Objectivist girls tend to buy into the alpha male = best mate idea more than anyone, perhaps because they tend to be more Social Darwinist than actually rational.
 
You have experience (as in, at least just acquaintances etc...) with Objectivist girls? I'd imagine they're like 0.01% of the population - have you specifically sought out folks with those viewpoints or is this some weird confluence - at any rate, I'd be impressed.
 
I know at least one objectivist girl. She was in my Chemistry class freshman year. (She was actually a high school senior doing joint enrollment at Georgia tech. She is a student at Agnes Scott now.) She was normally in a different lab section but when she missed one lab she made it up with our section and was my partner for one lab. She also went to GHP at the same time I did and I vaguely remembered seeing her there once, but we did not actually spoke until the second week of college. She is rather physically attractive (maybe an 8 out of 10, well above most girls at Georgia Tech), but has a horrible personality.


She is actually the only person I've ever met in real life who openly claimed to be an objectivist. From her facebook profile you can clearly see she treats Rand's philosophy like a religion.


I do know several people who claim Ayn Rand's books are among their favorites though, and more than half of them are girls. (However, I know that one girl I knew from my highschool who likes Rand's books, and is about equally good looking with an equally bad personality, is practically a Marxist.) I was surprised to see that one girl from my church had Ayn Rand (as well as Dan Brown :vomit:) listed among her favorite books on facebook. (She is actually the younger sister of another girl from my church whom I've been thinking of asking out, although there is very little resemblance between the two. I don't know her very well, but she seemed very outgoing and assertive, especially considering she is a middle child, diametrically opposed to her big sister. She is probably a bit better looking that her sister, but I don't think our personalities are nearly as compatible.)



From what I've read online, Objectivist women tend to be as hot as they are rare, quite unlike their male counterparts. The same may be true of Libertarians. The only self-described (Christian-)Anarcho-Capitalist I've ever met in real life is quite possibly the most attractive girl I know (and quite unlike the objectivist girls has a personality that may be even better than her looks).
 
Most of the people my age are non-committed or vaguely Democratic. However, most of them are actually rather right-wing. I spent a while arguing with one girl about taxes. She said "Why don't the politicians just pay for it? They're all rich!"

Yes, 535 people are going to pay for trillions of dollars :rolleyes:

I already knew all of that, and my post was a generalisation. But women do tend to unconsciously seek the best possible father for their children, which is what I meant by alpha male.
