It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don't seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

Were you aware of the recent study talking about male microchimerism in the female brain?

Here it is.

Your talk about woman needing to remain 'pure' because of 'the patriarchy' made me think of it.

I don't see that they've identified any downstream impact from having extra DNA, but wouldn't it be funny if that actually did impact folks negatively?

Personally, I'm sure glad I'm not carrying around a historical record of the folks I've been 'very friendly' with...

    I did read an article on this topic recently and it is very fascinating but I’m not sure I understand that connection to what I was discussing.

    Also, I think I also remembered reading that anyone can have microchimerism acquired through their mothers, so don’t be so sure that you are unaffected.
