@Hoss Fahrenheit's 100 degrees was supposed to be the healthy human body temperature, and I recall 0 degrees has something to do with salt and ice (I forget exactly). So Fahrenheit is not just random, and it is indeed more practical for humans to understand quickly.

@deprecated_ii >aced honors physics
>struggles with algebra

You can tell this journalist was also bad at math, because anyone who took physics would know that you absolutely need to know how algebra works if you are going to do anything with physics. Even if you are doing physics using calculus, you still need algebra to do that.

So yes, cheating and/or bad high schools are likely.

@deprecated_ii I knew a foreign student at my college who claimed he wanted to be an engineer. But wow, his math skills were abysmal. He could barely manage to pass a math class that was at the level of my 7th to 8th grade algebra.

No idea if he managed to make it through school. But I really doubt he did. I just don't know how he would possibly manage once he had to do some actually difficult math.

@Aether Keep in mind that these "never had a boyfriend" types differ greatly from guys who "never had a girlfriend." Unlike those men who are also likely virgins, these women who "never had a boyfriend" are very likely to still have had a string of casual sex partners or "situation-ships" where they sleep with a guy but have no official relationship.

Also, it is not as if they could not have a boyfriend if they just make their standards more reasonable.

@PraxisOfEvil "Paving the way?" Where, towards the edge of a cliff?

@Wopu @mrhorsetwat @Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic
I should clarify that my problem is also that he is a stupid thief too. That conclusion he stole is not worth stealing, as it is merely justification to claim that liking traps is not gay (it is). A smarter man would find better material to steal than this. And I cringe at him passing off this fetish crap rationalization "high level thinking."

@LaoBan @thor @leftforfed65 Are these people unaware of the sanctuary laws that are in place for infants? Any mother could take her unwanted baby to a hospital and legally surrender the baby away from her care.

And before I get told "Who is going to adopt them? There are too many kids unadopted!" there is a long waiting list for people wanting to adopt babies. Yes, sadly older children have a harder time, but this does not apply the same for babies.

@mrhorsetwat @Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic Andrew Tate just stole this from some old 4chan post, showing he is just an intellectual parasite. Didn't he also present the "Women are evil proven by math" but changed it to make it "Women are the source of problems?"

I feel bad for the younger generation of men who see his content thinking he is a great thinker when really he is just copying other people's work and pretending it was his own.

@Humpleupagus I blame it on too much feminization of the culture. Women are the ones that care about "tone" and placing feelings above all else. And then boys are now being taught to have this effeminate style of thinking, and too many of them are taking that to heart.

Is it any wonder our society is in decline with feelings being considered the highest priority? That leads to a lot of decisions that are very bad in the long run.

@sickburnbro It seems someone is quite familiar with Matthew 18:6, and it sure isn't the "reverend" here.

@Tfmonkey though either way, these women are having less kids as a result. So having women pursue more college for more years does indeed decrease the total number of births, regardless of the thought process or reasoning.

@Tfmonkey I have a theory on the whole fertility intentions study with men and women. I do not doubt the answers are accurate, but I suspect that the more highly educated women have a sour grapes mentality. That is, it is not that they do not want more children, it is that they cannot have as many children as they originally wanted due to being older, so they claim "I only wanted 1 kid anyways" as it is easier than admitting that they squandered their fertile years chasing more degrees.
