I'm aware of how the world works. I'm not stupid. All I was saying is that a mother would not call her child offensive words (assuming this is a healthy and non-abusive relationship) and that I am surprised at the amount of people who think the use of the word retarded as an insult is okay. Just because something is commonplace in society doesn't make it right.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who think it's okay to call someone retarded. It's highly offensive.

I don't remember much about them other than that Roark's Cranidos evolved into Rampardos mid-battle and Ash's hypnosis blocking strategy. What made them so special?

Honestly, Paul is an ass, but he's one of my favorite characters in all of Pokemon.

By your logic then, men would be less competent at parenting than women because women are more "biologically inclined for parenthood."

Basically you're saying men and women should be treated the same unless it comes to careers. There's a lot of logical inconsistency here.

For all you know, I could have a huge bottle of maple syrup in my fridge.

Biologically speaking, men and women are quite different. Men usually have less body fat and have enough testosterone to get really bulky and muscular whereas women's bodies are geared towards taking care of the womb and giving birth (wider hips, fat going to the stomach, etc.). This does not mean that one has less value than the other. Women deserve every right that men have and vice versa.

Why do you say that they are "not really equal"?

I'm guessing he was talking to other students and the teacher heard because said student was boasting loudly.

H? Please elaborate.
