It is impossible for a male cat to be “calico”
Keep on smokin that stuff!
Leftist feminazi prof promoting a path to another false science of consensus that being gay is a genetically programmed behavior. Born that way... can’t be cured... you know... the new agenda.
"...????....then that that that's a dingle berry?"
Fragile X Syndrome has nothing to do with the X chromosome breaking. In the mutation, the X has a large number of serial tandem repeats. It’s named for the appearance this gives it on staining, with a separated piece due to the unmarked section.
Laughable and absurd conclusions from half-baked academics desperately trying to spout the party line in order to get funding. Lysenko would be proud.
The simplest explanation for the findings, and the explanation most concordant with prior knowledge and observed nature, is that the failure of a few males to achieve reproductive success is immaterial, as the number of females is invariably the real population bottleneck.
Mammalian life is replete with examples of species that effectively write off a significant portion of males as genetic dead ends. Polygamy is the norm among many higher mammals, as well as within primitive human societies (along with polygyny), so a genetic abnormality that causes a small fraction of males to fail to reproduce will face orders of magnitude less selective pressure than a similar abnormality on the female line - especially if such failures to masculinize were chiefly due to interference from strongly-selected-for maternal traits (i.e. mitochondrial DNA influences, the “Mother’s Curse”).
It’s absurd to claim that such conditions are actually SELECTED FOR, or even more laughably that they provide a significant level of benefit due simply to the laughably assumed benefits of “diversity”.
Actually, my mom had two gay cats. I swear!
I grew up on a farm. Whatever happened to just lifting the tail up and giving it a gander?
I think we are being punked here.
Sacha Baron Cohen, perhaps?
ok good
Give it a taste test.
They are saying this is why Rosie ODonnell has hair all the way down her back and chest.
lol
Oh THAT’S what this garbage is about
.....and why Michelle Obama has a penis

Laying the groundwork to support the notion that homos are an important part of human society.
The article moves from actual science to PC propaganda. Weiss is studying how an embryo becomes male or female — a biological process complicated enough that it can go wrong sometimes. This is biology, based on experiment and observation. Billthedrill explained the basics. Baron-Cohen is studying autism and sex differences — how the biology translates into behavior. Still science, but complicated science because it involves human behavior. Then Susan Case from the School of Management brings in the party line. To confirm your stereotypes about her, check her web page http://weatherhead.case.edu/faculty/Susan-Case/
well I have wondered why she stands with her feet so far apart
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
