The Baha'i Studies Listserv Tha'ts not sexist, unless the genders actually were qualifed in reverse. You gave no info in your hypothetical about their abilities. I always tend to be meritocratic in my judgments. Also, how big is the fort? Are there any weapons other than spears? Genders assumptions tend to be true in rule of thumb ways. Culture can influence biology in that you are born with your genes, but your choices in life activates as well as deactives alot of your genes throughout your life time.

They had him guarding the border at San Diego against wetbacks. He wouldn't load his gun, though because he wasn't about to shoot someone looking for a job. Much better you give the spear to my cousin. She is a great hunter. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-537199-1719008.2a3842ae5b2f7d34dd5fdfc724616...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-537256-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
