On one of my Archive re-readings I discovered, that Tai apparently really is a great fan. In comic 962 she's seen wearing a BPitch Control shirt, which is the record label founded by Ellen Allien.
Is it cold in here?:
Zoe, on the color coding, what's being measured on the scale of 0-6?

Over the course of this weekend, she has shared a room with Marten, met and accepted his family, (attempted to) fix his clothing, and is now ribbing him like it's old hat. By the end of this arc, she will have either agreed to go on a date with Marten or will have permanently and irrevocably earned her stripes in his circle of friends. There is no "Claire the Intern" after The Wedding.

I agree with your point that there's no more treating her as just "Claire the Intern", but that's been going on for a while. At least since she decided to share a personal secret with Marten. I really don't see a date in their future though. I've not noticed anything that I could characterize as signs of attraction on Marten's part, and nothing on Claire's part that isn't a stretch.

--- Quote from: sitnspin on 14 Mar 2013, 08:23 ---I remember reading somewhere quite some time ago that lesbians tend to have more "male" structured brains, something to do with the release of testosterone during a key point in fetal gestation, but I don't know how much truth there is to that and I can't recall where I read it.

Same thing causes Transsexuality, just at a different "Golden Moment", and different parts of the brain are involved. The foetus ends up more or less Androphillic/Gynephillic, and Male/Female identifying. Usally male genitaliais associated with male gender identity and gynephillia, but there are exceptions (ie gays exist, trans men exist, trans women exist, intersex people exist...)

Cool, thanks , that does look familiar. It makes me wonder if there are different degrees of "maleness" and "femaleness" of various brains and if this in any way affects predispositions to particular behavioral patterns. Obviously people exist on a variety of spectra, but I am curious as to exactly how much influence brain structure has on where they fall on them. For example, I am a fairly androgynous woman, I prefer styles of clothing that are more traditionally masculine and I am extremely uncomfortable in anything feminine (dresses are right out). I am also told that my behavioral patterns when it comes to sex and relationships are rather male. However, despite all that I very much identify as a woman. There is no question in my mind that I am a woman, but how I express it is somewhat atypical. I'd be interesting to know how much of this is rooted in basic brain structures. As always I am interested in the dynamic between innate characteristics (or at least predispositions) and learned behavior and the biofeedback loop between brain structure and behavior/experience. Our brain structure effects our behavior and our behavior and experiences in turn effect the structure of our brains.

That is the most stoked I've ever seen Marten, Dora boobs are back!
edit: also the title is painfully correct, bad metal horns Marten...
