- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Yes, but women can't be men although they can be surgically altered to look like men. We still can't change an X chromosome into a Y chromosome. So "da man" is kind of silly, especially considering its roots. It started in the slave days, when slaves were not considered human, but working farm animals like dogs and horses. When a slaver couldn't supervise the slaves because of some errand, he'd delegate one of the "farm animals" to be "the man".
"The Man" comes from slavery.

Check between the legs, if there are dangle bits it's a male. Although, I've heard some members of the "Boss" species can suck their genitals up into their bodies to prevent reproductive damage during long winded battles, more commonly known as "meetings".

That's not proof. They can fashion artificial "dangly bits" to make a woman look like a man, but sorry, Bradley (or whatever he changed his name to) has a Y chromosome so he's still a man, with or without "dangly bits". If you have no Y chromosome, you are not "da man". And so far they haven't found a way to change your Ys to Xes or vice-versa.
Of course, it could be said the "woman" is a contraction for "womb man" (except "Loretta" will never have a womb). "Where's the baby going to gestate??" In that case I guesss a woman coule be "da man".

Seriously, much appreciation to all those who have worked their butts off to get SoylentNews this far. I've just occasionally poked my head into the forums, but there are clearly people who have been working 16-20 hours a day to get this thing up and running.
I'm really looking forward to what the results may well look like.
