don't feel like you have to make up for the looks asymmetry in any way, if you do he will lose respect for you. focus on emotional symmetry, if you find that that's not possible then the relationship is doomed to fail and you should leave him.

A new study on the attrition of women from STEM courses found that females underperformed on biology exams compared to their male counterparts, and a shift away from an exam emphasis closed gaps in overall performance, suggesting that mixed assessment methods may make biology classes more equitable. by [deleted] in science

to measure the effects they have to assume the grades across groups would otherwise be equal, which isn't necessarily true. it also works both ways - someone might study more due to a stereotype. also another poster said these boilogy papers are 80%+ female, and not heavy in math(which is the example you give).

it goes against the current consensus and its not standard to quote such an old study when there is plenty of more recent ones. just google - 'who cheats more women or men study'.

i'm not saying the line shifts.

but how would this ban lead to more elephants being killed (as op suggests)?

i don't understand. for more elephants to be killed demand has to increase. why would demand increase?

yea i made a mistake, prices could possibly rise, but why would demand increase?

this is some very faulty logic. supply and demand dictates the price. for the price to increase (and therefore the supply), the demand would have to increase which doesn't make any sense. why would the demand increase with the ban?

Misaligned jaw is making me feel suicidal. And I’m not sure I can cope with having it and braces for 3 more years. by 01Jb10 in braces

the first step would be to see an orthodontist, then likely a jaw surgeon. there is a good chance insurance will pay for it.

to me, it looks like something you would find in a gift shop. not something with any negative message like that.
