    Any differences will be unspecific to gender, and tied more closely to environment / upbringing / behavioral predisposition. However, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome will generally do very little to alter how one "takes things personally." It will impact hormones like testosterone that could ultimately change the way a person responds to a given interaction, but even then the upbringing of the individual will almost always drown out any minor gender differences there may be.


    I agree.

    Also, a history of high emotional reactivity could lead to more situations with high emotional reactivity. Becomes a positive feedback cycle that spirals out of control. I think women are more prone to carrying around "baggage." As such, they may take things more personally. An individual with less baggage will take things less personally.

    Anecdotal time...

    From the women I've known... women who have low self-esteem (it can take time to notice this in some women) tend to take comments quite personally. This can be from performance, lifestyle, to looks. Commenting on their mentality or way of life furthermore upsets them. The best thing to do is be nice or say nothing at all. Really, that is a life lesson. I think a person who stays nice most of the time but makes one sharp comment can find themselves with an angry woman who becomes unforgiving. Surely, finding out if the woman has esteem issues is critical before ever making such comments (but really they are best held within).

    As the baggage I find in a woman increases, my avoidance level increases. Positive correlation. r = 0.88. Yes, I'm being a nerd.

    Men tend to care less about their looks but do care about their performance in life. They can have much of the same problems as women. I feel that men are more willing to take hits and shake it off than women.

    I'm sure there are more serious social science studies on your topic, Athena.

  2. In Topic: Your Forum persona

    5 May 2012 - 07:45 PM

    I wouldn't be sure. It would take an individual from the forum and off the forum to analyze what they think of my SFN personality and offline personality. In general, I agree with swansont and feel about the same way. I try to keep things semi-professional unless I'm in the lounge.

  3. In Topic: Autoclaving some clothes: jeans and some shirts, not too dirty

    And the reason for not just washing them in the bath/ shower is...?


    Well, for one, I don't have much money until payday. I'm broke. And I figure I want them clean. So, I want to make sure they are nice to wear, and I figure the autoclave would be a good way to make sure they are at least clean.

  4. In Topic: Synthetic XNA evolves like DNA

    21 April 2012 - 11:42 PM

    ...

    DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then translated into amino acids.
    So, the question here is can XNA be transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into amino acids?
    If I understand you correctly, RNA polymerase does not bind to XNA and transcribe out RNA.

    Also, I don't understand how this XNA was made nor what the molecule looks like.
    If someone could post a picture, that would be great.

  5. In Topic: Need to make a 0.05 or 0.5M EDTA stock solution

    5 April 2012 - 06:10 PM

    How do I get EDTA disodium salt to dissolve and be a pH of 7.4. I tried a 0.5M solution, but couldn't get it to dissolve at that amount. So, I tried 0.1 M at 7.4, and it worked ok enough for me to get a 50 mL soltuion.
