Bees are feminists, moron. The Queen is in charge and the workers are
sexless.
Wrong, the workers are female. They can lay viable eggs.

In most species of honey bees, workers do everything but lay eggs and
mate, though Cape honey bee workers can lay eggs. |

there is no active gender in that kind of colony....they don't 'do it'
so as a basis for any sort of reference to 'females' or being a
'feminist' its complete waste of my time to consider IMHO
now if you were to say that there are kinds of reasonable association
between human behaviour, & so called 'feminist' activity in a Meercat
colony yes I guess that would make sense. |

which is a totally asinine analogy because neither beauty or its
objectification bear any relationship to a function a species performs for
gathering food...
iow... your analogy is the equivalent of saying food is only consumed when
it's considered beautiful....
if you had half a brain, you'd realize your half a ball isn't even half
capable of half the courage to take half the responsibility for half the wit
you've half-used to make a half-hearted effort at disguising your disdain
for half the human population.... |

You are unable to maintain an intelligent conversation due to a lack
of understanding basic biology. When you begin to understand the
history of life on Earth you can begin to design your world of the
future. Until then you’re just a waste of time.
“…Certain plants receive more visits from specific insects than
others; plants with large, brightly colored flowers tend to attract
more bees than those with small or nonexistent flowers, which are more
often visited by other insects; plants that have flowers of certain
colors also tend to be preferred by some insects (or birds) more than
others; some blooming plants in an area have many bees on them while
others do not (this is a result of bees communicating information
indicating that specific plant's location). The students would also
notice that certain insects 'fit' into some flowers better than
others, an indication that perhaps coevolution has occurred between
those plants and insects…”

You’re absolutely right! I should listen to you more. Rotten fruit and
tainted meat have been discriminated against far too long. Its time to
bring equality to nature. Everything has its place so the next time
I’m at the store I’m going to look for the worst looking produce and
the oldest meat products. Why does mould receive such a bad rap
anyway? Its simply not fair. Derp flarn splink goint blurble ting. |

I don't know where you got the idea that feminists don't like beauty.
And it is not beauty being objectified they see as the problem, it is
humans, women, being objectified that they object to. |

Those would be natural attractions, which is something else.
Feminists are generally concerned with culturally constructed ideas of
beauty.
Men tend to like being treated as complex life forms, not simply
drones, and would have as much trouble with women who selected them
solely on certain attributes. In fact they complain about this all
the time. |

nope... that's just an excuse to continue being an intellectually lazy and
embittered asshole who blames everyone else for the problems you create for
yourself.... you should instead try growing a pair and taking responsibility
for the piles of shit you dump when you speak.... try using your brain, for
a change.... and you might actually be lucky enough to discover a world
which isn't so encumbered by backstabbing childishness and misery....  |
