Lol he also thinks men and women have different elbows. I still remember one of his characters telling a fully robed and cloaked person was a woman when she raised her arms because of her elbows.

Dude can't into physiology? I get that that's a common myth - like the people who think women have more ribs, or fewer teeth - but it could be dispelled with even the slightest amount of research. And it wasn't like he was trying to portray the character as believing a myth, either - the character was correct, and was portrayed as being very clever and observant.

I don't even know, dude. But then again Aristotle himself couldn't be assed to look into a woman's mouth and just blindly believed the teeth thing, too. And I mean, those are demonstrable untruths. For the Mars/Venus sociological stuff, there's all kinds of dumb horseshit people believe are just factual differences between the sexes.

Well...There *are* some ways to tell men and women apart like that because men and women actually do usually move differently [for example, compare how most women walk to how most men walk], but the elbow thing always did confuse me. : /

[ariakas]

Oh for sure there are - though I think the character was standing still at the time - but there's height, overall body shape, sloping shoulders, head size... ...of all of those things that would be totally valid, why did he pick one that's completely untrue?

Uh maybe because if you had even the slightest bit of biological/physical knowledge of the human body, you would know that women's elbows are hinged differently from men's.

[ariakas]

Women's elbows aren't synovial hinges? News to me, Dr. Internet! Our ball joined elbows must be totally rad! Or are men's elbow joints not synovial hinges?

EDIT so that you don't waste your time if you mean what I think you mean: The carrying angle (which wouldn't have been observed in the posture Eddings was describing; it's measured with the arms extended downwards, palm up) right? The slight difference in bone alignment that has nothing to do with the way the joint is "hinged"? The variation that has "extensive overlap in the carrying angle between individual men and women, and a sex-bias has not been consistently observed in scientific studies"?

That, uh, what he was supposed to be using to know for certain it was a woman in a posture that would have made observing it impossible, using a trait that occurs similarly in both sexes.

Come on dude.
