Interesting article, however I disagree with her on this front:

History shows us that whenever our species has ever attempted to take control of biology and bend it out of shape to ideological goals, human tragedy always follows. It’s a lesson we still don’t seem to have learned. Because in spite of overwhelming evidence, many people, and especially orthodox feminists, still hold fast to the idea of an endlessly flexible human nature, and indeed, human nature is flexible, but a blank slate it is not. Neither is it a crude caricature of immutable deterministic drives and instincts as often painted within the orthodox feminist doctrine of biological determinism. Human nature is very much mutable, but not infinitely or arbitrarily so, and here lies the nub.

While trying to force people to abandon their human natures against their will is likely to result in disaster, I believe that actively striving to conquer and indeed abandon the more animalistic, primal aspects of one's OWN nature is a noble goal. I believe it is the next step to humanity advancing as a species, but to achieve it a majority of humans must DESIRE such a thing. Unfortunately, following one's instincts provides an easy burst of happiness, so it will be difficult to convince humanity at large to abandon their subconscious reward system...

Your post has received several complaints, would you mind adding a summary or a few questions for people to discuss?
