A Thread About Women

[gourimoko]

Yes. I wrote a paper on it for school a couple of years ago.

That's awesome.

Because there are sentencing disparities when they commit the same crime.

My mistake; thought we were talking about Dave's stat (men 9x more likely to be locked up than women or whatever it was). Agree that men getting longer sentences than women for the same crime is a problem. Definitely a case to be made that judges give longer sentences, subconsciously or consciously, to people of races/genders they perceive to be more criminal/violent. That shouldn't happen.

Let's play a game of who's suffering from victim mentality in this thread:

Victim Mentality Characteristics-

1.The Victim Believes He Has Been Wronged
2.The Victim Believes He Has No Control Over Life
3. It Leads to 'Believing in the Worst'
4. It is Rampant with Negative Emotions
5. The Victim Expects Sympathy
6. The Victim Plays the Blame Game
7. The Victim is Stuck in a Self-pitying Mode
8. The Victim Spins Tales of Woe
9. The Victim is Defensive
10. The Victim Puts Himself Down
11. The Victim Refuses to Analyze and Improve
12. The Victim has Passive-aggressive Tendencies
13. The Victim Sets Himself Up for Failure

The vicitm in this case isn't in this thread.

Do you happen to know the repeat crime rate? I would assume men repeat the same crimes at a higher rate. (Not that it should lower the first time punishment for females).

Not sure, I'd have to look into it.

Woman, 26, gives birth to baby who spent 24 years as frozen embryo

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – An East Tennessee woman delivered the longest-frozen embryo to successfully come to birth, according to the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library.

The National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) says baby Emma Wren was born Nov. 25 to Benjamin and Tina Gibson.

Emma was cryopreserved in 1992 before being transferred to Tina’s uterus earlier this year through frozen embryo transfer. Emma was conceived around eighteen months after Tina, 26, was born.

“Emma is such a sweet miracle,” said Benjamin. “I think she looks pretty perfect to have been frozen all those years ago.”

NEDC Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Kennan hopes the story will lead to more couples who have embryos in long-term storage to consider donation to help more families.

The center’s embryo adoption program has led to around 700 pregnancies. The center works to protect the lives of frozen embryos.

“It is deeply moving and highly rewarding to see that embryos frozen 24.5 years ago using the old, early cryopreservation techniques of slow freezing on day one of development at the pronuclear stage can result in 100 percent survival of the embryos with a 100 percent continued proper development to the day-3 embryo stage.” said NEDC Lab Director Carol Sommerfelt.

“I will always remember what the Gibsons said when presented with the picture of their embryos at the time of transfer; ‘These embryos could have been my best friends,’ as Tina herself was only 25 at the time of transfer,” Sommerfelt continued.

More Chun-Li costumes on the way for Street Fighter 5! Wedding and covert operations outfits coming December 19th

2 minutes
The last two Chun-Li costumes designed by Akiman

That's right folks! I can't even make this up. Someone over at Capcom decided that Chun-Li did not have enough costumes in Street Fighter 5.

MORE Chun-Li costumes will be available tomorrow on December 19th. This time it will only be two, and she appears to be the only character receiving any.
Chun-Li will be sporting a wedding and a covert operations look. This brings the total number of costumes to 16 for this particularly combatant.

Supposedly these are the last Chun-Li costumes designed by Akiman. Maybe there will be a break for this fighter?

Despite this, it looks as though the first lady of fighting games is going to keep holding the title for " owner of the most number of costumes" in Street Fighter 5 for a good while. It's not even close at this point.

Are you excited by this? Will the meme just continue? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

No surprise that a thread about women is long, winded and seems to have no end in sight.

 

[TyGuy]

I like your article more.

Chun-li has thighs for days.

Something about this thread makes me want to ignore it, pretend it doesn't exist and go and watch sports.

Think this thread can grab me a beer?

Why is this woman on the police force? She very clearly cannot handle the physical demands. The guy she was trying to arrest wasn't even big.
