      Theatre Arts. Now ask my major.

      But they were probably lesbians anyway, right Kep?
      Is it really news to people that a very large number of women hockey players are lesbians? Seriously? You people need to get out more.

          But not Norwegian women's hockey players.

          Its just that, if someone were to make a comment, borderline complaining, about all male skaters being gay, they'd be roasted in here.

            But it would be a factual statement.

            I wasn't complaining -- everybody but Dr. Mrs. is off the menu anyway, much to their, if not her, relief. Pointing out interior decorators or hairdressers or red state Republicans or Islamic and Christian fundamentalists are mostly pillow biters isn't homophobic. It's just a boring truism.

                I agree, but I do think a comment like that, even if it was true, would draw angry responses.

                    How is it that you know this?

                    I mean... softball? Obviously, but hockey?


                    I will say that one former college player that I've known and played with for years claimed that there were a significant number on her team.


                    She is married (to a guy) though and so are all the rest that have ever played in my groups or leagues... maybe another 10 former D-1 players.

                    We also have some female players who did not play college.

                      It's been an open joke for decades, but my empirical evidence is from some ex-players at different schools and also a good female friend who spent years in media and PR in the womens hockey community. According to her, "before I started working in the biz my estimate would have been 30%. It's actually far closer to 60% -- enough so that there are places where straight players are ostracized."

                      Softball is a good analogy. When you're talking about high school or adults just f-cking around in rec league then the numbers are just like the gen pop -- 5% give or take. But as you get to the high levels of competition, for whatever reason, it's carpet lick city.

                          Must not be hockey players. Maybe skiers?

                                That's actually not true, though. We can and do intervene. We can't change Physics or Biology but we can change our position within the rules. Man can fly. Physics didn't change, we just used it. Same with medicine for Biology. Biology would appear to condemn women to servitude and death. We kicked Biology's as-s. When we are using rather than being used by Physics and Biology then we are in charge. They are King and Queen but their kingdom is just a chesspiece for us.

                                Our interventions are getting so effective that Rule 2 is teetering on the edge and will be effectively repealed within the next century. Even though it will still be technically true, the practical effects will be able to be postponed further and further and eventually indefinitely.

                                We will eventually be strong enough to thus practically qualify nearly all of the rules. A man has limitations. Mankind has none.

                                Rules 6 and 9 are already for all real purposes dead. Yes, they are "true," but insistence on them under all circumstances is wildly inane and only fan service for sick and uncaring ideologies.

                                Rule 4 is flat out wrong unless you somehow separate our thoughts from the universe. Our empathy, charity, generosity and mercy are all part of the universe -- they are "natural." The original human idea that they are divine and divinity is outside the universe is a mental illness.

                                Rules 7 and 10 are also teetering.

                                Rules 1, 5, and 8 are probably the only rules that deserve to be called "rules." The rest are just target practice for human innovation, and shields for cowards and sociopaths to crouch behind.

                                Above them all is Rule 0. Where there's life, there's hope.
