9 Worst US Military Fails
The United States has won several major battles, but there were also battles lost due to insufficient weaponry, bad weather, and being outnumbered. Sometimes it's not always the enemy that causes havoc but overconfidence and poor leadership.
There were even unnecessary battles that could have been avoided in the first place. Many important lessons are learned from failures, so we rounded up the worst U.S. military fails of all time
The Siege of Charleston (1780)
On May 12, 1780, the Americans suffered their worst defeat of the Revolutionary War when American commander Benjamin Lincoln surrendered Charleston and its 5,000-man garrison. The South Carolina capital was an important part of the defense of the southern American colonies. With Lincoln's surrender, no Continental Army was left in the region and Continental officers and men became prisoners of war, making it one of the worst U.S. military fails in history. By contract, for the Brits, it was their greatest victory of the war.
Invasion of Canada (1812)
When the United States declared war on Britain in 1812, the latter was also at war with Napoleon's French forces in Europe. Many U.S. leaders assumed that conquering Canada, a British colony, would be a cakewalk and even falsely believed that the Canadians would welcome them as liberators.
Due to their arrogant expectations, the Americans heavily relied on state militias led by William Hull who surrendered to the tiny British force and headed home.
Battle of Bladensburg (1814)
In retaliation for the earlier U.S. invasion of Canada, British troops attacked Bladensburg, Maryland, on August 24, 1814. Upon facing the British veterans of the Napoleonic Wars, the U.S. militia force at Bladensburg dropped their weapons and ran from the field of battle.
It's one of the greatest disgraces in American history, as the British troops easily entered Washington, D.C. and burned the White House, the Capitol, and many government and military buildings.
Battle of Chancellorsville (1863)
One of the worst military bloopers and tragedies in history, Confederate general Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot by his own men.
He was leading the battle in Chancellorsville, but when he and his troops tried to return to their own lines, the members of the 18th North Carolina Regiment mistook them for enemy cavalry and fired. It wasn't his wounds that killed him—his left arm was amputated, but he actually died from pneumonia on May 10, 1863.
Formosa Expedition (1867)
In March 1867, a U.S. ship named Rover wrecked near Formosa (now Taiwan) and the Paiwan tribesmen killed all the survivors.
The United States launched a retaliatory expedition to punish the Paiwan—if the American forces could find them. As they marched into the jungle, they faced a series of ambushes as the natives just retreated further into the jungle. After a long-day game of cat and mouse, the Americans withdrew to their ships and failed their mission.
Battle of Little Bighorn (1876)
After gold was discovered in Black Hills, the U.S. Army tasked Colonel George Custer to relocate all Native Americans in the region.
Custer believed he could defeat any number of Native Americans, so instead of waiting for reinforcements, he weakened his forces of 600 men by dividing them into groups. In less than an hour, his troops were defeated by thousands of Northern Cheyenne and Lakota Sioux warriors near southern Montana's Little Bighorn River.
Defense of Bataan (1941-1942)
After the Japanese forces struck Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, it was clear that the Philippines, a U.S. overseas territory, would be next in line.
However, the American commanding general Douglas MacArthur didn't take appropriate action. When the Japanese attacked the Philippines the next day, the defending American forces in the country had no combat experience. Thousands of Filipinos and American soldiers were forced to surrender and killed during the Bataan Death March.
Battle of the Kasserine Pass (1943)
During World War II, the United States had its most humiliating defeat against Germany in North Africa at the Battle of Kasserine Pass.
The U.S. II Corps was led by General Lloyd Fredendall, who made several tactical mistakes. Instead of strengthening frontline positions, he established distant underground headquarters. Not only did he divide troops too far away from each other but also laid minefields in front of them marked with flags—and the Germans appreciated his thoughtfulness.
Battle of the Hürtgen Forest (1944)
One of the forgotten military fails in history, the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest was a fruitless battle that should have never been fought.
Instead of bypassing the forest to advance into Germany, the U.S. Army had a foot soldier's fight from beginning to end, as airpower and armored forces were useless. Tens of thousands of American soldiers were killed or died of exhaustion, hunger, and pneumonia. After the enormous losses and sacrifices, the Americans finally received orders to withdraw.

ABOUT D4D
The Backstory
D4Disgruntled has nearly 30 years of knowledge about the film music industry, the creative and production process, personal & professional connections with film composers as well as their composing styles, a musical education and performance background as a symphonic percussionist in his youth. He is no stranger to professional struggles, obstacles, and challenges faced by any filmmaker trying to execute their vision. D4Disgruntled's path to pursuing a dream of becoming a film composer began early in life but was put on
It may seem strange to outsiders that it took so long to enter the arena, however, it ended up being the best time as a result of subscription models and more affordable access to the tools used. Before all this became available, D4Disgruntled's career went into other creative fields where he honed his storytelling skills through concept art and storyboards. All the software and hardware that is so widely available to everyone today was not in the 90s and early 2000s.
In 2016, D4Disgruntled invested time and money to acquire the necessary tools and resources to get started. He recently upgraded to Digital Performer 10 and a slew of professional sounding Virtual Instruments. Additionally, he is receiving training and mentoring from film composers Richard Band and John Massari.
The culmination of all his knowledge, pent up creative ideas, and personal & financial investments have exploded into a series of "Concept Soundtrack Albums". These works were composed as potential alternate scores to existing films (as though he had been originally hired to write them) or stand-alone simple narratives he conceived. These albums, while available for purchase, are also 'demos" from which to obtain work.
Musical Influence
After becoming a fan of film music over the years because of being a film buff, and discovering the music was sold on CD, he realized he wanted to make film music. He moved onto music theory and composition including the art of "playing by ear". He would start composing and recording his own rough improvised compositional works.
He was attracted to composers whose music was crafted and tailored specifically to a film projects in which all the musical elements related not just to each other but to the visual story it was supporting. Some of his earliest influences were Jerry Goldsmith, Christopher Young, John Carpenter, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, and Danny Elfman.
Early Composition Efforts
While in high school and on into college, D4Disgruntled created musical compositions of his own. They were more like rough, improvisations of musical ideas, a free flow of ideas in the moment, performed on the keyboard and recorded directly into a stereo system on cassette tape. Many of these recordings he still has today, on tape and digitally archived.
D4Disgruntled decided to attempt composing to picture. He chose to score Halloween 4 and 5 almost in their entirety and selected scenes from The Guardian (the William Friedkin film), Phantasm 2, The Fog, Single White Female, Pet Sematary. Some had blatant uses of recognizable themes and material from the existing scores but for the most part a listener can hear D4Disgruntled trying to find his voice. At some point, an archive page will be set up that will feature some of this music from when he was a teenager just beginning to learn how to compose.
Musical Background
D4Disgruntled grew up originally in Indianapolis, IN where he began symphonic and concert band percussion performances beginning 6th grade through the end of high school. He played all the instruments. He could read sheet music; he just had a difficult time site reading melodic music. Most percussion sheet music was indefinite pitch so everything was written on a single line which he could follow. The Timpani and the Chimes were fine as they have a limited range, but he avoided the marimba, xylophone, and glockenspiel.
In high school, under the suggestion of his Music Theory instructor, D4Disgruntled took a Chorus class to understand 4-part writing. He learned a lot compositionally then as well as how not so great a singer he was. He also attempted piano classes but that failed and ended within weeks. D4Disgruntled can read full on sheet music, just not as a "site reader".
While attending Indiana University, his close affiliations with the Music School students and working on the Opera productions, D4Disgruntled immersed himself in as much of a musical environment as possible. Though he eventually obtained a BA in Fine Arts, he continued his study of Music Theory, adding Music History, and a MIDI course while at IU. He also continued composing his musical sketches in his dorm room when he had free moments.
Lack of Resources Forced A Career Change
After moving to Los Angeles, CA, his career path a different creative direction. The software, sound libraries and hardware were not affordable and not widely available to newbies like D4Disgruntled like they are today. There were also no subscription services either back then.
However, this gave him time to learn more about the film score industry and keep up on what tools were becoming available. Reading online articles, online interviews, online videos, special edition CD releases with extensive liner notes delving inside the creative process of each composer like never before.
Eventually, D4Disgruntled would be able to invest in a DAW and sound libraries that were just the "essentials" before able to upgrade to more professional level DAW and VST instruments. He continues to educate himself on music theory and has returned to composing with a series of albums.
A Return To Music
Fast forward 28 years to what D4Disgruntled has called "Part 2" where a renaissance of sorts has occurred for him. At his disposal, this time around are the basic (software and hardware) tools needed to create the music he wanted to create. He has made up for lost time through his series of "Concept Albums". The flood gates have opened, and the music is flooding out.
D4Disgruntled managed to catch the attention of some people for gig opportunities. Two were YouTubers in which he supplied thematic music and additional incidental tracks as additional library music. D4Disgruntled has also composed music for various video content for a video production company called The Creative Cortex. He also, teamed up with the music artist Somnus Music in 2018 to co-compose a musical track.
The musical style of D4Disgruntled is "film score" music. It can ambient, melodic, action packed, suspenseful, scary, and sad, and sometimes all in the same musical work. While he is not emulating anyone directly, it is possible to hear the influences from his many favored film composers all while having his own voice shine through. The short list of influences consists of: Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, John Carpenter, Christopher Young, Hans Zimmer. In addition, he draws occasionally from European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern Asian music styles.
Much like the composers he favored who emphasized narrative storytelling in their music, D4Disgruntled's music manages to tell its own story, support the onscreen narrative when heard separate from the film, that same story holds up through the music. D4Disgruntled's approach to composing, like that of Jerry Goldsmith, has attempted to find interesting orchestrations and sounds on each new work to create a unique composition which also aid in the overall storytelling, establishing of characters and situations.
The "Horror Re-Scored: Vol. 1" album, while none of the musical ideas created by D4Disgruntled did not use any of the original film's musical, he managed to create a whole new soundscape in a similar vane as the original music score. He achieved it with different instrumentations, synths, and sound effects while still capturing all the drama, horror, and action. The film used was "Halloween 4".
For "Horror Re-Scored: Vol. 2", the same approach was executed with all new musical ideas, instrumentations while simultaneously presenting several influences filtered through his own voice. This time the film chosen was "The Exorcist 3". The film had little to no music at all with tons of dialogue sequences, which allowed for a clean slate.
His other albums are much more experimental with soundscapes and techno. Yet, they are stand-alone narratives written by D4Disgruntled to which he composed music to. These were not existing films or tv shows.
The musical sound is based more on the instrumentations chosen to express the emotional themes, associate with characters and set the soundscape specific to the picture. D4Disgruntled's approach to composing, like that of Jerry Goldsmith, has attempted to find interesting orchestrations and sounds on each new work to create a unique composition.

Nope. Its just so if every crate cost 700, the players that played a sh!t ton could buy thousands of these crates and make their money back from the game, which would be pretty ����ing op.
Battlegrounds will have three different kinds of loot crates going forward. One, called the Gamescom Invitational Crate, will require a $2.50 key to open. It will only be available for a limited time.

If we are talking about an "other-than-human-intelligence" that is something other than E.T., then it does make sense that it's a tricky subject. It would actually explain a lot and as a theoretical overlay it seemingly fits better than others.
Putting aside how different cultures, religions, occult adepts, and esoteric philosophers might define them---if they did turn out to be something other than E.T. the problematic issues are still inherent.
The late, great Gordon Creighton might sound like a whack job here and his personal conclusion on these beings identity is certainly to be questioned, but I have a feeling the following article and what we're hearing from Tom and Kit and others connected to TTSA sounds like the philosophical direction they're headed with all this.
If so it sounds like they've come to the conclusion that, "resistance is futile" and we're gonna be pushed towards "assimilating with the Borg" so to speak.
The True Nature Of The 'UFO Entities' By Gordon Creighton Flying Saucer Review Vol. 29, No. 5
There are other possibilities as to why we're seeing this coordinated push/ad campaign from the intelligence community of course. Not many of them, however, and imo, are very encouraging.

Excellent article, Tanx, MM.
From your link:
"If you were trying to come up with the A-team of former, high-level government officials who would come forward on this issue, you can't really think of a better team," Bender says in the screener. "Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon — these guys still have security clearances, still have networks in Washington, still are in the business, if you will."
"We know that UFOs exist. This is no longer an issue. The issue is why are they here? Where are they coming from? And what is the technology behind these devices that we are observing?"
That last part sounds like a cryptic reference to contract work they might be doing for a U.S. intelligence agency or some other government entity. Elizondo confirmed to me earlier this year that he is, in fact, working as a government contractor, "but it's not what you think it is," he said. Mellon did not respond to my request for comment.
I think the evidence strongly suggests we are being sold something other than an entertainment product. The question remains what?
originally posted by: mirageman
Anyway interesting article in The Intercept for us to ponder.
Here's a bit more that should raise some questions:
IN "UNIDENTIFIED," POLITICO'S Bender describes Elizondo as "in many ways, an enigma. Here is a guy who spent decades in the intelligence community."
That much appears to be true. Elizondo retired as an official at the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. A public records search also reveals a series of home addresses for Elizondo over the last two decades that are close to intelligence facilities in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico (the site of an unacknowledged government surveillance program called "Echelon") and in Grovetown, Georgia.
"Being from Georgia, I can assure you, there is no reason anyone in their right mind would live in Grovetown unless they were working at Fort Gordon, home of the Army's principle signals intelligence units and school," Tim McMillan, who, like Greenewald, has a longtime interest in UFOs but has come to doubt Elizondo's involvement with any government UFO program.

The sooner that this conversation starts is the sooner we get to the core of the problem that is happening on the Earth, which is this idea that we're all separate, this idea that all the countries are out for themselves. This is how we unify the world. This is how we get young people, in all countries, coming together, and saying, "Hey, I'm not Russian, or American, or Indian. We're all from the same little planet. We're humans." Let's take this big step, and now stop looking directly at each other. Let's look up, and go, "We are now at the frontier of understanding what's in space, and what that means, and how we go there, and how we start branching out into the future."
This last quote sure sounds like the globalist agenda. And, using the UFO movement to advance it is, IMO, disgusting.
So in your opinion advanced alien civilizations are digustingly united instead of being seperated into tribes?

a reply to: The GUT
Thanks for that quote! What Kit Green says would match the TTSA operation perfectly, wouldn't it?
The way I see it is that "country" and "planet / species" are different 'dimensions' for humans to be aware and express themselves. "Country" is closer, so most are aware of their nationality and it is a natural part of their lives. If more people also and in addition start to understand themselves as "Earthlings" then I would welcome that. It would only become a "globalist agenda" if "Earthling" would be construed to stand in opposition to, say, "Italian" or "Chinese". If somebody of TTSA wants me to choose one of "Earthling" and "my nationality", I would withdraw my support for them. But I see nothing of that sort currently.
I suggest that carefully parsing what we are being sold is the wise response.
FULL ACK

No, the disgusting part is the globalists USING poor TDL for their purposes. He's being used as a puppet, to get the UFO movement to think more about a globalist perception. Screw countries, we are all one happy family of humans riding this spaceship Earth. It sounds wonderful, on the surface. However, in practice it means redistribution of the population and wealth by force if necessary. It also means the disbandment of individual country borders (i.e. open borders) and a one world government.
That he is being used to clandestinely push that New World Order agenda is what is disgusting.
ETA: In addition, the globalist agenda requires the total disarmament of the population and complete control of the media. That way, they can maintain control over the population and more easily quash any dissent, by either shaming or devaluing them or forcibly "ejecting them from society".
edit on 6/1/2019 by Krakatoa because: added additional thoughts
I feel with you for trying to keep track of all the TTSA threads
And your respect is appreciated!
I also have not seen anything about these new developments in Europe. I could not even watch the show as the History channel (like all other stations) makes very sure that non-US citizens are excluded. (Where is globalization when you need it!!?)
Indeed - although quite a fan of TTSA - in the end I simply want the truth. TTSA is giving us food for discussion, I find especially with this interview.


This is a bit of an OMG. And a start for many more to come, I do believe.
Adidas has partnered with Parley for the Oceans. Together they take ocean plastic (pollution before it hits the seas) and spin it into a thread that they then turn into sportswear...footwear in this case. Sneakers!
"Turning a threat into a thread."
This week, the brand announced that it has now sold more than 1 million pairs of sneakers made from ocean plastic. Certainly starting a new sustainable trend.

Q: What is the difference between "I put a picture on/in/at the front/back of the box"? I have done some research and it seems that "the front/back" refers to either the front or back surface/space of something respectively.
So, "put the picture on the front/back of the box" means to stick it on the front/back surface of the box

"put the picture in the front/back of the box" means to put it in the front/back space of the box

It seems like we can say "put the picture in/at the front/back of the box" as "in/at" can be interchanged in this case.
So, we can not say "sit on the front/back of the horse" because it is impossible to do that right?
But we say "sit on the horse" and "sit on horseback".
In this case, do we say "sit in the front/back of the horse"?
But my thinking might be wrong.

Pyriphlegethon – The Murky Black of Eternal Night
Iron Bonehead
check out our shop
The Murky Black of Eternal Night is the second album by Dutch black metal project Pyriphlegethon, to be released in April 14, by Iron Bonehead Productions. With ten tracks – Curse Of The Old Coffin, Monument Of Death, Funeral Bells, The Serpent's Tongue, Summoning Ancient Evil, Return To The Tomb, The Murky Black Of Eternal Night, Cursed Blood, The Coldest Grave and Night On The Black Mountain – The Murky Black of Eternal Night is an awesome and very intriguing album, that brings back everything genuinely good the genre has to offer, with that real and extensively crude vibe of ancient raw black metal, completely embraced and sidelined by the perfections of tradition, but without sounding old, repetitive or monotonous.
Although the album is a little bit short, there is a strong sense of unity within the music. While you listen to The Murky Black of Eternal Night, you really feel the true, dark and captivating essence of real black metal, that captures the abhorrent and funereal nature of the genre, that a lot of raw black metal groups seems unable to reproduce with unwavering authenticity.
Throughout all of its length, you can really feel the work to be compromised with the purity of the genre. And while The Murky Black of Eternal Night cannot be essentially categorized as a masterpiece, the album does stand as a perfect and marvelous example of a contemporary raw black metal record. With its essence intact, and a voraciously infamous authenticity that really embodies the dark, sinister and dreadful spirit of the genre, no word or critical assignment could be strong enough to compromise or disintegrate the solid integrity of this work.
While this album inevitably steps into a lot of commonalities within the genre, it's impossible not to assimilate or to recognize its indelible qualities. The Murky Black of Eternal Night, by Pyriphlegethon, came out to be a marvelous consonance of black metal essence, hostility, obscurity, mystery and sensibility. Rescuing the true spirit of the genre, this album is a sincere and honest tribute to all its formidable and genuine predecessors. While I reiterate the fact that the album does resent itself from a certain stream of ordinary complacencies, its overall sonorous abilities are simply unquestionable. The Murky Black of Eternal Night is an exceptionally good black metal album, with a genuine and insanely consistent colossal essence.

Meet Baloo, Lebanon's 'last' Syrian bear. He hates his wife
By NadineMazloum • January 19, 2017 • 0 Comments
We all read the story of the Syrian brown bear sighting that happened last week. The news was so happily received that it went viral, casting a shadow over others in a matter of minutes. But, while the bear we reported on was spotted in the wild, this one is not.
Meet Baloo, an 18-year-old Syrian brown bear who was rescued from a Lebanese circus. Baloo now lives in a sanctuary, and was thought to be one of two of Lebanon's only remaining local bears, up until last week's story emerged.
Baloo doesn't have any known relatives in the wilderness, friend and environmental journalist Mostapha Raad says in his Newsweek article. He only has a wife, 13-year-old Teddy, who he doesn't care much for.
Despite the bears living together for 10 years, Baloo and Teddy haven't produced an offspring. Their caregiver, Dr. Munir Abu Saeed who runs the Aley based sanctuary, Animal Encounter, has tried everything.
Baloo and Teddy | Source: Facebook/AnimalEncounter
The Syrian bear, or Ursus Arctos Syriacus, is native to the Middle East and the Caucasus regions; it is the smaller subspecies of the brown bear. It has made shy appearances in the past across Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Iran and Turkey, and is currently flagged red on the endangered animals list with the possibility of going extinct in the near future.
It was first discovered in Lebanon in 1828, somewhere inside Bcharreh's Makmal Mountain forest. The last time we ever saw one was in 1958.
Baloo at Animal Encounter | Source: Facebook/AnimalEncounter
Baloo and Teddy are well taken care of. But, they're not alone. At Dr. Abu Saeed's sanctuary you'll find 35 different species of wild and endangered animals. They include Lebanon's national animal, the striped hyena –which is on the brink of extinction due to over hunting fueled by superstitions. You'll also find jackals, wild cats, foxes, eagles and antelopes, most of which he found hurt or orphaned.
"They have the right to exist and have a chance to live as long as possible away from the hunters' rifles," Dr. Abu Saeed tells Newsweek Middle East.

The doctor wishes he could one day release the animals back into the wild, but with rampant hunting, frenetic construction shrinking what remains of the wilderness, and pollution, he knows his dream is a tough one.
The "lack of proper education among the Lebanese about Lebanon's wildlife and the important role played by each of the animals," as well the excessive love to hunt, threatens the wellbeing of wild animals, which are being "exterminated" in the country, he laments.
Source: Newsweek/MostaphaRaad
The cost to care for these animals doesn't come cheap. Apart from daily expenses, Dr. Abu Saeed tours the black market to buy back wild animals.
It's an uphill battle, but its one he is willing to fight for. He had once hoped that the Ministry of Environment would help preserve the country's wildlife populations. Instead, forests are shrinking and effective hunting bans are still a matter of low priority– be it legal or illegal.
Just last week, hunters were employed to cull wild bird populations near the Beirut International Airport for fear of bird strikes. The decision angered conservationists, environmentalists and activists who lashed out at authorities for not addressing the root of the problem: the Costa Brava landfill and the Ghadir River estuary –both of which offer sources of food for the birds.

But, with all the demotivation that comes with Lebanon's growing environmental woes, Dr. Munir pushes on. Although the costs are high, he insists on caring for these wild animals. His activism stems from the belief that all animals should live. He and his wife have been wildlife activists since 1993.

Here is a song that is not actually very good. I made a lot of jokes at the time about writing bird songs because it was fashionable. I didn't realize how true that was.
The song began because I was visiting my parent on a snowy weekend. Late one evening we took a walk in the park across the street. There was a lot of new snow and it was very quiet. Then we heard again and again Great Horned Owl calls. As we walked we saw many of these owls calling to each other from the tops of trees and street lights.
So, I took that beautiful scene and transformed it into this meaningless, heavy handed parable about like the environment and stuff, I guess. I was trying to work with some different chords. I was trying to write in an earthy, folky style. I was trying to explore the feelings of urban living with a desire for something other than urban living. I did each of these things more successfully in other songs. What I will for this song is that it does a pretty good job painting a few scenes for the listening.
The recording is good. Jangly guitar, which is what I was into at the time, trying to compensate for the lack of a band or more instruments. My voice cracks at some point, because I am a chronic over-singer. I'm not embarrassed. I think this mediocre song really comes across well in this recording.
If I don't like the song, you might ask why I included it here. Well, I'll tell you. I recorded this song for a 'fundraiser' disc that I used to fund part of my second album. After recording that version of the song, I wrote a bridge section that vastly improved the song. I would say that it improved the song by 100-150% That is a lot! I wanted this song to exist somewhere with this beneficial bridge. I can stop thinking, "I really should record that one with the bridge." I can close the door on this song.

Tales of the Evolution of Female Orgasm and Adaptationist and Sexist Biases in Research
2239 Lane Hall
Elisabeth A. Lloyd, Tanis Chair of History and Philosophy of Science. Professor of Biology, Indiana University
The evolution of human female orgasm remains an open question in biological research. Twenty-one theories have been proposed, and all of these were examined in my 2005 book, The Case of the Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution. There I documented the adaptationist and androcentric (male-centered) biases in this research, and displayed the fact that an explanation which proposed that female orgasm was a developmental byproduct of male orgasm, and thus not directly selected, was best supported by the available evidence. The book was instantly attacked by a number of feminists, both inside and outside the academy, as being sexist because of the byproduct explanation, which they said diminished women. I had noted in the book that this claim relied on a faulty supposition, namely, that all valuable human traits must be evolutionary adaptations. Clearly, we don't believe this: reading, writing, playing the violin, working a computer, are all clearly valued in our culture, and they are all byproducts of evolution, not evolutionary adaptations. Nevertheless, my views were considered biased against women, since they were perceived as peddling a damaging and stereotypical account of women's sexuality. In the talk, I will review the most recent theories and evidence concerning female orgasm, and shall discuss the male bias and adaptationism in the available explanations. I will also respond to the feminist critiques of my work and the byproduct view itself, demonstrating that the deepest feminist critiques are themselves unfortunately adaptationist, and therefore unpersuasive.
