Thanks. I clearly misinterpreted the information at telegraph. If I find any other reliable source, I'll post them here.

Consider that girls finish the process of maturing the brain around 10-12 years old, and that boys might take 15-20 years old to reach the same level of maturity[1]. Also consider that this process is linked to better decision making and pondering skills. Let's assume now that gay men and...

I dedicate a great part of my time writing science fiction and fantasy and drawing comics and graphic novels. Another great part of my time is spent on reading random, real science because whynot. However, in early and recent works, many of my favorite and memorable characters are women...

So, I'll begin this new comics project with some friends and I have decided to create a paper/origami themed superhero because why not. He will have, of course, the ability of paper manipulation, or "papyrokinesis", although I haven't decided the extensions of his powers yet. Now, when an...

It seems that although we know when the process of brain maturity begins, we don't know when it reaches a level satisfying enough for assuming an individual is in conditions to bear these responsibilities. Someone might suggest the age where the process of brain maturity is complete. However...

No they're not. But they like the fact anyways, because they think it supports their assumptions that gays are promiscuous sex-driven sinners.

They are at higher risks of contracting STD's. If you're talking about modern attempts to change age of consent.

You don't think anti-gay consent arguments based on maturity difference could be supported by these findings? That and anti-gay "homosexuality is bad" argument based on the fact that gays attracted to teens or twinks are in fact attracted to boys who aren't ready, while straight men attracted to...

I thought that too. It seems current evidence shows that girls' brains begin reorganizing info and focusing on what it thinks to be important around the age of 10 while boys' brains at the age of 15-20. But I don't see how this neurological fact support his conclusion that therefore girls...

I don't think there is current evidence to support either nature or nurture, but I don't see how that matters to deciding the age of consent. I mean, I'm no biology expert, but it seems coherent that if boys' brains take longer to mature, the age of consent should be different. Unless, of...

I just finished watching "The Imitation Game". Immediatly after, I did some research on Alan Turing's life and about this 19 year old he had sex with. That's when I came across this article by an Antifeminist blog...

Hey everyone, I'll begin participating in a tabletop RPG next week, and I'm on the stage of creating a new character, her origins and powers. There are currently three sketches in my mind: 1. Lucas Brinn. His real name is F'ell N'aar, he is martian. When he was 5, his mother sent him to earth...

Yes, but the prior probability of the paper being wrong is quite high. Although I didn't find a copy of the study itself, this page discusses it a bit, I'll leave the link in case someone's interested. http://www.adherents.com/misc/hsk.html

I've seen this before. Is peer-review that important? I don't know if the FRI even tried to publish on a scientific journal. All I know is that most of their studies are misleading.

As many of you might know, Paul Cameron's (and the Family Reaearch Institute's) anti-gay arguments have been debunked over and over by many blogs out there, such as the Box Turtle Bulletin. His methodology is so flawed and so terrible that most people who ever quoted him apologized afterwards...

He is referring to Graham 'G'lancy, with G, not Clancy. He or She worked with Kurt Freund in the study cited in the OP. Also, my reaction to this last part was the same as yours, but I didn't know what 'twink' was about. I don't understand him when he says that teen girls look like adult women...

So, I've been trying to get an answer from him for a couple days, and here's what he came up with: "With regards to the link you shared with me, it appears the author focuses only on the studies provided by Paul Cameron and his Research Institute. Those are obviously not trustworthy, but there...

Good thing. I'm familiar with the link you cited. I'll tell him and see if I can get him to answer.

Ok, so I sent him the discussion, and his response was a bit confusing. Here's what he said: "About the gene reply, well, that is not totally parallel with my argument. When I say " male homosexual" I mean a male individual who is attracted to another male individual, be it adult or child. In...

That sounds like a good counter-argument. "The development of male sexuality is more likely to result in pedophilia than the development of female sexuality, therefore female sexuality is better than male sexuality". An objetcion would be that both male and female sexuality development are not...
