I've heard of the Gay Agenda for years now, and yet I still am a slob and totally lack any fabulousness. Who do I write to in order to complain?
Animal sexual behavior is under-reported in general, I think. Do not forget to report!
Probably because a lot of it is real fucked up, and makes people uncomfortable.
Like female bedbugs not having vaginas and so males have a sharp penis and literally stab the females with it often resulting in death of the female, because it's literally just an open wound.
Further, male angler fish only exist to find the female, touch her, get stuck to her, and get absorbed by her body until all that's left is the testes, now absorbed by and part of the female. The female can hold multiple testes of multiple males inside of her and choose to self-impregnate whenever she chooses.
Don't even get me started on felines and spiny penises so the female can't escape once the male has entered.
Like a huge amount of animal sex is rape.
Yeah I don't spend my time reporting it because all it does is remind me how lucky I am to be human and be able to have a consensual, loving relationship with another human.
I'm pretty sure female bedbugs do have vaginas and it's just that the males don't care. Also it's somehow better if they stab them.
Ok but that anglerfish thing is kinda hot.
I think the point is, human discomfort shouldn't play a role in scientific reporting. Humans have projected a lot of human social elements (sex and gender roles, etc) onto animals and called it science, but it's not objective. If we are self censoring, we can't effectively share knowledge with others and we might miss important things down the line.
If cat cock upsets you, don’t look up duck dick.
i mean they could look up Echidna Dick
The very idea of sexuality being divisible into distinct types is a uniquely human construct.
Animals don't think "I'm gonna go find another dude to have gay sex with," they just get the urge and act on it with whoever looks good nearby.
Animals tend to force sex, as well. Humans call it rape.
Well, animals don't have informed consent like we do.
Maybe not to the same degree of specificity, but "do you want to have sex with me" is one of those things that's really high on the informed consent priority list.
In some cases, no consent at all.
A lot of species have complex biological adaptations, and social instincts and behaviors specifically for convincing someone to willfully have sex with them. That's informed consent.
A simple example is elaborate bird plumage and mating dances.
People who publish scientific articles should be forced to declare their religious views at the top of the article so that if anything is listed other than "none" then it can just be automatically discarded unless it's replicated by a non-religious scientist. Religion just ruins everything, like running a computer with Windows.
I'm as atheist as atheist gets, and I completely disagree with this, and it honestly smacks of edgy teen r/atheism. Just because you're religious doesn't mean you'd engage in that kind of dishonesty. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries in human history were made by religious people.
Also:
"Religion just ruins everything, like running a computer with Windows." "@secretlyaddictedtolinux"
Username absolutely does NOT check out, lol
I don't consider myself as religious, but this is just such a bad take.
I too dislike religion, but judging people based on their beliefs and discrediting their views because of it is exactly the problem.
I think understanding one's own biases is not a problem. Ethics in science is currently a problem. Political lobbying affiliations and funding sources for studies should really be prominently displayed as well.
It's not about religion, haters will be haters, religion is just a tool haters use to prop up their views
Someone teaches them to hate. That is often religion.
You have an ideological viewpoint that says that all people with a certain identity are wrong. And you present yourself as moral.
You sound like a fundamentalist, to me.
I had a dog that would hump stuffed animals, didn't matter what kind of stuffed animal. Humans live by our culture, which is highly symbolic learned behaviour.
I'm guessing most animal behaviorists have priorities other than watching who is fucking whom. Unless we're talking long-term bonding pairs, which are much easier to observe, but those are not the norm in the animal kingdom.
