Actually, your second point isn’t sexist, it’s just false. In fact, men have a significantly higher pain tolerance than women. I think the common belief that women have a higher pain tolerance is because they go through child birth, but the pain tolerance of women during childbirth is directly linked to the release of endorphins throughout the pregnancy, peaking during childbirth.

So, the reason women can tolerate childbirth is due to endorphin release, not high pain tolerance. At all other times, non pregnant women have a lower pain tolerance than men (on average).

Gilthanass – NOW DEBATE IT!!!!

“I don’t know why others choose to do it for less. We absolutely could do it for less – we choose not to,” Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Mobility, said in response to questioning from CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais, who asked if it would prevent customers from leaving the carrier, a concern raised by the Competition Bureau last week.

CAPE CANAVERAL – A recently discovered comet is closer than it’s ever been to Earth, and stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere finally get to see it.

Called Pan-STARRS, the comet passed within 160 million kilometres of Earth on Tuesday, its closest approach in its first-ever cruise through the inner solar system. The ice ball will get even nearer the sun this weekend – just 45 million kilometres from the sun and within the orbit of Mercury.

The comet has been visible for weeks from the Southern Hemisphere. Now the top half of the world gets a glimpse as well.

The best viewing days should be next Tuesday and Wednesday, when Pan-STARRS appears next to a crescent moon at dusk in the western sky. Until then, glare from the sun will obscure the comet.

California astronomer Tony Phillips said the comet’s proximity to the moon will make it easier for novice sky watchers to find it. Binoculars likely will be needed for the best viewing, he said, warning onlookers to avoid pointing them at the setting sun.

Drug testing only benefits the testing company. Typical of conservatives to waste time and money trying to govern a fake issue.

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay

“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”

“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”
