Our most important social contructs are heavily influenced by biology.

Like the fact that men typically are the hunters and women the homemakers is influenced by the fact that men have 40% more upper body strength and narrow hips that are better for running.

That influenced our brain evolution in such a way that men now are more likely to take dangerous and technical jobs, while women take jobs that are similar to things they'd do in the home.

I'm not saying that that's how it should always be, obviously there are exceptions to the rule in modern society, but our cultural traditions didn't just come from thin air arbitrarily. There was never an equal chance that men would stay in the home and women go out and earn the food.

You actually do see that in a few african tribes, but the reason they give is that the men are staying behind to protect the elderly and children, so even then there's an understanding that men need to protect, because they're best suited for such things.

So I understand that incumbents have a massive electoral advantage, but purely speaking, term limits infringe upon the people's right to elect whomever they want. If the people want to elect the same person twelve times, what gives the government the right to step in and say no?

If you're worried about the agrigation of power to a few old farts, would implementing a national "right to recall" on senators and representatives through a simple majority address this? If they are recalled, they cannot run in the election to replace them.

Aren’t there more virginian presidents than any other?

Not having term limits does not make our Republic any less of a Republic. The incumbents are still getting elected to represent.

no but it is slightly humorous when Leftists (or any viewpoint that takes itself too seriously) cannot recognize when satire is directed at them, ala Sokal, et al. :)

I like to blame the professor for oppressing me ironic with the willful and phenomenal attempt at abolition of the self.

I am who I am regardless of who others or even myself rather think that I am. Moreover should professor disagree, we (the students) think of said professor that professor should think that we think professor give us all A+ for no reason other than Social Constructionism be correct, else the professor continue to institutionally victimize us with academic oppression.

Making us perform for inequitable grades when intersectionally we are obviously less erudite and therefore the more worthy of being compensated for our victimhood from the privileged academic class whom should freely give us the A+ we deserve just for being there.

Embrace the madness and blame everyone and everything else but yourself (unless you are arbitrarily tagged as an oppressor by the name-caller class, then you should commit suicide) is what Social Constructionism boils down to (imnsho).

Imagine this scenario; It's the 2020 primary debates. On the stage are three people, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and John McAfee. Bernie keeps making Bernie noises and John McAfee can't understand him, but Trump, being well-versed in speaking like a cartoon character, can understand him, so he must rely on Donald Trump to translate.

Donald Trump translating Bernie Sanders to a confused John McAfee should be a skit.

I'd support this only to devide the Democratic base.

The Libertarian Party is a joke. If it wants people to take it seriously it has to first take its self seriously. Which would involve, at the very least, not having random stripping at its national convention

I'm trying out a new flag. I wanted to incorporate my national animal like I've done in the past. thoughts?

Nice flag. I like the Stag and the blue, yellow and black, but it hard to see the two black stripes (but that may be intentional). Also it is a bit bare for your national religion being Freemasonry. I would expect a plethora of emblematics woven into an enigmatic tapestry, but it could be an Oddfellow plot to destabilize the Fraternal Order of things. :)
