    Yea, and the whole man points/card/whatever stuff sounds like a invention by college duds in/from a frat house.

    I'm curious though as to how this gender categorization of stuff started.

    Longer, actually - it's evident in all higher apes.

    Edit: But yeah, even Brony is painfully frattish.

    Should Ubuntu Forums really accept their pony overlords?

    Would I be considered a higher ape?

    I prefer the common equus asinus africanus (since I can't use a common term for them - "a" followed by "ss" -- without it getting replaced by three stars, I have to use the scientific one) or "donkey" (which, strangely, does not get replaced by six stars) to a cartoon pony.

    So, when my wife is angry with me, do you think she says "You equus asinus africanus!"? Of course not. She uses the three letter version!

    Yeah, I thought that phrase was a thing to exclude gibbons. It's apparently just not a thing (the phrase I meant is great apes) and there are apparently monkeys that show a gender split between "hunter" and "nurturer" inclinations, anyway, so it's a moot point. I'm guessing that KiwiNZ was referring to specialized "labor" roles, hunting and gathering, for which his figure sounds rightish without looking it up.
