Animal Sex Determination Is Weirder Than You Think

I'm impressed: the article is about the rich diversity of different sexes in nature (it does not even go into gender) but all you are getting out of it is some anti-woke sentiment?

Could you please re-read the article and at least absorb the complexity of sex and biology in nature in general? At least be a bit amazed how little we seem to grasp about reproductive processes even on a biological level. And then maybe even feel the need a little to reflect how the article might mean that you're not living in such "sad times" but (maybe) the opposite.

I think my biggest complaint about culture war topics is that it makes perfectly normal discussions (“let’s talk about this article”) turn into long back and forth on an unimportant topic like sex vs gender.

I think it’s just a shiri’s scissor [0] to draw energy away from productivity.
