prečo sa egyptskí faraóni ženili so svojimi sestrami (menej ašpirantov na trón, kontrola nad “ženskými” vetvami rodostromu)

The pharaonic custom of having princesses marry their brothers and rule as sister-queens had a well-thought political rationale behind. These marriages were rarely consummated and any offspring produced normally were unfit for power, so most pharaohs were sons by their predecessor’s non-related wives or concubines. However, brotherly marriages meant that Egypt’s royal princesses typically didn’t marry outside of the family.

prečo niektorí muži tak nenávidia ženy

Ak sú úvahy, ktoré sme načrtli, aspoň približne správne, je zrejmé, že na mizogýnii svojich synov mamy nemusia mať – a často ani nemajú – vôbec žiadny podiel viny. Chlapec potrebuje v prvom rade pomoc od mužov, nie od svojej mamy. Maslo na hlave tak majú najmä starší muži, ktorí mu nepomohli. Premýšľam preto o tom, kto dnes na Slovensku môže chlapcov učiť, ako sa stať mužmi. V ideálnom prípade by sme to mali byť my, ich otcovia.

prejav Michelle Obama počas DNC:

Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation. Not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service, and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others.

She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.

If we bankrupt a business — if we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don’t get a second, third or fourth chance. If things don’t go our way, we don’t have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead. No.

We don’t get to change the rules so we always win. If we see a mountain in front of us, we don’t expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top. No. We put our heads down. We get to work. In America, we do something.

Marta Šimečková: Desí ma, že sa hovorí, že dva krát dva je päť, a ľudia tomu veria

Hnevá a rozčuľuje, to asi tiež, ale hlavne ma desí, keď vidím, že Slovensko už je vo fáze, že sa dá hovoriť, že dva krát dva je päť, že sa dá hovoriť takú očividnú absurditu a minimálne na časť spoločnosti to funguje. Táto časť má pocit, že je to tak. Takáto tlačovka je dôkaz toho, že sa prepadáme ešte o stupienok ďalej do sveta, v ktorom Martina Šimkovičová môže povedať, že v galérii nie sú obrazy, hoci každý vie, že tam sú.

Plaything or peril? Brazilian kites are endangering lives and prompting a push for a national ban

Kite fighting has caused horrific injuries and even deaths, and a bill moving through Brazil’s Congress is seeking to prohibit the manufacture, sale and use of the razor-sharp lines nationwide, with violators facing one to three years in prison and a hefty fine.

Taliban law bans women from speaking in public

Women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.

Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.

This sounds like a trivial observation and it isn’t: No organization which makes its people pay for coffee wants to win.

There are many other questions you can ask about an organization but if their people pay for coffee you can immediately discount their realized impact on the world by > 90%.

This is not simply for the cultural impact of stupid decisions, though goodness as a Japanese salaryman I have stories to tell. Management, having priced coffee, seeking expenses to cut, put a price on disposable coffee cups, and made engineers diligently count those paper cups.

Just try to imagine how upside down the world is when you think one of the highest priority tasks for a software engineer this Monday is updating the disposable coffee cup consumption spreadsheet.

And no, Japanese megacorps are not the only place where these insanities persist. And there are many isomorphic ones.

Lekár Malovič a genetik Križan o chromozómoch a ženskom boxe: Ľudia, ktorí Imán Chalífovú nazývajú mužom, si nestihli všimnúť, že sa mení svet

Čiže keď sa počne žena s dvoma X chromozómami, tak v štádiu začiatočného embrya, na úrovni 30 – 50 buniek dá jeden náhodným spôsobom do špajzy, nepoužíva ho celý život a všetko, čo produkuje chromozóm X, má ona v náhodnom pomere približne 1:1 alebo 4:6, ako sa to náhodne uspôsobí. Ak sa počne zárodok bez Y alebo ak ten Y je nefunkčný, že je poškodený, tak sa plod vyvíja ženským smerom. Ten Y je niečo podobné, ako policajná „plácačka“ policajta na diaľnici, že po tej diaľnici ten plod obrovskou rýchlosťou letí ženským smerom, zrazu tam príde policajt, vystrčí Y a povie, ty pôjdeš bokom, na tej bočnej koľaji sú muži, a pošle ho preč.
