I value feminine women who have better better people skills than me as they're able to connect with people on a level I cannot yet do. However, if they possess both this and the masculine logistician abilities, I have deep respect and hence bend my knee to them, as I see them as my superior.
Some classical feminist literature states that men, in the long run, will become useless as follows:
"In a second early discussion of male and female natures, men were called an
…obsolete life form. He is an anachronism in this technological context. His muscles are no longer needed. The built in obsolescence of his physical and emotional nature is now apparent. The aggressive, destructive drives of man lack proper reasonable outlets. He is being phased out by technology. Sperm banks and test-tube babies can take over his last function, his only function that has positive effects for the human race.
Men, the author continues, sustain their lives “at the expense of other better life forms. Until he gives up his existance, either voluntarily or by force, there will be no relief from suffering nor any moral progress on this planet.”
And some bonus stuff while I'm at it:
"“An early statement of radical feminist politics, that of Ti-Grace Atkinson, begins by declaring that al men qua men are ontologically “insecure and frustrated”, beings who must (they have no choice about it) alleviate their frustration through the oppression of others. Atkinson call the process whereby men devour and dominate women “metaphysical cannibalism.” She posits a night-marish scenario in which men invade and take over women, creating a “sex-class” system. Atkinson then explains all of human history, including every society in the present, with reference to the features of the two sex-classes, male and female. All known societies, past and present, were or are nothing but the “ultimate outgrowth” of the nature of the male sex-class. Society “conforms” to male nature."
The second fear expressed in Rousseau’s grant of familial authority to the father is a fear of the sexual and psychological resources of women, their reproductive capacities, their seductiveness, their vulnerability, and their openness to human intimacy.. Rousseau believed that women already possessed power on so many levels vis a vis men and children, simply by virtue of their being what they were, that they neither “needed” nor could be trusted with power of a public, political sort. Women were volatile and must be reined in, forced to be content to wield their power “privately.” That a man of Rousseau’s sensitivity could fail to experience empathic identification when women were denied the dignity that attendant upon public participation and speech; that he could place women in circumstances in which they had no rights but only revocable privileges; that he could force them into patterns of repetitious emptiness, indicates both the limits of his capacities to transcend his own age and his deep and abiding fear of women. Nevertheless any serious contemporary feminist thinker must take up the challenge Rousseau has laid down to explore, in terms adequate to the complexities involved, the inner relationship between familial and political authority.
- Public man Private woman
So if women possess the logical abilities of men while also retaining their generally more emotionally stable & mature nature, they'd be the superior human. I truly believe men are entirely worthless aside from their rationality, which isn't even strong or present in all of us. Women are better empathizers, socializers, generally healthier than men etc.
I have Kurk on ignore, but I hear he keeps mentioning me and mathematicians?

Micheal Jelenic (co-producer of teen titans go) said recently at Wondercon that he can "almost guarantee" the 2003 Teen Titans will be coming back.
Greg Cipes (voice of Beast Boy) confirmed so on his instagram.
Could this actually be happening???

That feeling when it's past midnight, you're helplessly trying to cram for two exams that you that know you're going to fail, you're contemplating ODing on gummy vitamins to avoid the humiliation of having your chem professor think you're a dumbass, when your only source of motivation are Sith soundtracks and self-inflicted pain, etc
