Skewing "science" to keep a certain portion of the population in check: from women to minorities.

Most of the money quotes in that article aren't from Darwin's research, they're from private letters and commentators on Darwin's work. Of course the ICR - an organization I will not accuse of lying, because they have no working definition of truth - are circumventing any sort of verification by avoiding references to the actual sources.

That being said - and I do believe I have mentioned this already - Darwin isn't anyone's prophet, nor are his writings Holy Writ to anyone. Descent of Man was like the bad sequel to Origin of Species, the ideas weren't novel and the arguments lackluster. OoS was the culmination of two decades of painstaking research. DoM was almost a philosophical treatise in comparison.

Of course, Christianity in Darwin's age didn't exactly put women on equal footing, either. Many, many Christians hardly do so today.

It's not standing up for anything. It's trying to harness feminism to its own anti-science cart. Offensive is a good word for it.

ICR articles are not known to be reliable, because it is neither an institute, creation, nor does it engage in scientific research. Just another way to put it. So not really a lot to ponder. How about Institute of Creation Spin?

Here is an article to ponder over,
Thanks for your thoughts Have a nice day

Darwin's Teaching of Women's Inferiority | The Institute for Creation Research
I am a guy so there is no bias here. The only thing that women can't match is the ability to develop upper body strength. I think that any problems that they have with mathematics is cultural.

Now that I've said that:
Females of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species survive illnesses more easily. They mature faster. Their advantage of faster emotional growth makes them more college ready than men. I think that they work harder than men.

If Darwin is comparing women to men he shouldn't. It's species vs. species not female vs. male.

You have to source that crap. Darwin (and everybody else) are never 100% correct. But with an extra century or so...you should probably be pointing to a peer reviewed scientific study citing your claims....or not making them.

No offense, we just see tons of crap posted here and I like to learn. If you have something valid then please share it with us, it's how we all grow as people.

Why are feminists and liberal-progressives so anti-Darwin in their action? Is their pseudo-faith getting in the way of truth possibly?

It is funny when you see the Darwin sticker on a vehicle with a women driver. Ha Ha Ha
Let's see, someone quoting a creationist website as science, and also doesn't know the difference between singular and plural. Yeah, I'm amused, but not for the same reasons you are.
