        Prof. Pinker, is it really necessary to censor Trump's name?

        What nonsense. Christina is still too afraid to face real masculinity. Sad really, she's quite intelligent.

        No such thing as "real" masculinity. Like a true Scotsman, it's mythical, purely subjective criteria.

        Right, because sexually dimorphic animals all behave the same.

        Hillary=Amoral femininity. Associating negative connotations with masculine&feminine traits is simply sexist.

        @CHSommers @voxdotcom beta males can't fix a broken system-playing nice fortifies existing peace-but is useless in times of war.
