forum supposed to be about other than being somehow connected to politics?

I'd hazard to guess that it is about chromosomes. As in XY and XX.

I'm sure you could answer that question yourself if you read (a) the description Slate.com gives for this forum and (b) any of the blogs posted in this forum.

Unfortunately it fails to consider a few issues. First, the average user doesn't have a clue that there is a Slate.com description feature, it being one of the many things handled with incompetence by the Slate/Fray management team. Second, when I wrote my query there were no blogs posted in this forum. So are you naturally stupid or did you study to gain such skills?
