[ExI] fermi question on poseidon adventure

[William Flynn Wallace]

Humans are such a fun silly species.

Have you ever noticed that women are rarely silly?  They have been regarded
so by men, just to put them down, but most silliness, not to mention
obsession with sex jokes, sex content, sex anything, is instigated by men?


Who acts silly with grandchildren?  Men,  Dogs?  Men, and so on.
Exceptions exist, but think of men's clubs:  Jackie Gleason's club on The
Honeymooners;  silly hats and other outfits.  Women just don't do these
things.  They laugh at their men and call them little boys, which for some
of their behavior isn't far off at all.  Sports heroes (think of that word)
are given statues as if they had won foreign wars.  And so on.


And maybe it's a good thing, though as usual with men, it's often carried
to far.  And maybe there is a tie-in with creativity - men more creative
(OK women, fight back on this one).
