I smell a conspiracy
Intelligence gene? Really?
That moron should nominate herself for the Darwin Awards.
3411135 no thats for idiots who get themselves killed or rendered in able to reproduce for doing something that an idiot would call stupid
the golden crocoduck on the other hand....
3411187 I am pretty sure it doesn't have to be on accident..
3411135
now hold your horses... :P HAHA.
you have to remember. the three types of humans turned themselves into a ponys early on in the story to get away from an angry mob... now. id hazard a guess that their decadence are still floating around. now what if the human/ponys introduced that gene into the system. and what if Page Streamer is one of these decadence.
3411194 i dont know about "accident" for darwin awards since the perpetrator of said action either knew what they were doing and just did it anyway disregarding the consequences or they DID not know but never thought of the consequences
crocoduck isnt just for creationists, its practically for people who hold on to retarded out of date and totally unsupported arguments like the old heliocentricism or flat earthers(both are kinda ironic considering MLP's setting)
3411231 That superior "intelligence" gene is no more than fiction.
It is a fact that human males IQ is spread out way more than human females IQ.
Our populations idiots and geniuses are vastly male, and almost even on both sides. That doesn't mean that there aren't female idiots and geniuses, it just means that there are fewer of them.
This also means that a lot more females ranks as "average" than males.
So if this is opposite in Equestria, it would also mean that there are a lot more below average mares than stallions, and that stallions would also make up the vast percentage of beings with average intelligence in their population.

i have as steel lock rebuttal for you..
magical talking ponys.... :P
3411266 Counter rebuttal, magical talking ponies suffering from lead poisoning.
3411269 3411266 3411234 you ponies make me smile
3411274 Lets see if any of our thoughts has any impact on the next chapter
3411287 hmmm.... Idk if I want anypony suffering from lead poisoning
Good old fashioned sexism. Where does it end? WHERE???
3411290 Lead poisoning has a very negative impact on our brain. It lowers IQ depending on how bad it is, and it can take many generations to recover from.
Small doses of lead in the air from diamond dog digging could explain why the dogs are so stupid in the show, and why the ponies seem to narrow minded in the show.
Soo yeah, inflict lead poisoning on the population for my entertainment
I wonder what'll happen if some stallion rights organization hears about that backwater town called Ponyville that, in this day and age, has such restrictive laws against stallions and decides to rally against the town, holding protests and urging other towns to boycott their products. Nothing can change ponies minds like some good ol' fashioned blackmail!

3411299 lmao haha it is all about the entertainments afterall
3411328 hmm *sinister smile*
3411404 That sounded like a "I'll take the idea to heart" to me
For Liquid Daze and Page Streamer:

Liking the story, keep it up
Awesome new chapter for one of my favorite fics
all this sexism stuff may be good to keep the story going, but it's kinda ruining it for me. sorry but true.
OH COMON!!! can we please get to the part where the law gets fixed...
What we need is a rule 34 version of women sufferage in this story. Stallions protest and such.
If i was Trace I would have been laughing at all the sexist remarks cause sexism and racism makes me laugh, cause there are people that really believe what they say and that level of ignorance I find hilarious
3411258 there are less female geniuses and idiots because they have less opportunities to show it themselves, the ladies just let us be the stupid one but their genius is sometimes overshadowed by bias
3411274
3411258 I don't know if that is true, but if it is, don't forget that there is about 3 to 5 females for each male in Equestria, so that change the numbers a little. In our world, there isn't a difference in numbers between our genders. it must be 1 to 1,50 female for each male, more or less, I think.
3413287 I am not talking achievement wise when I mentioned idiots and geniuses, but IQ wise.
3414618 IQ of both sexes are fairly constant its the gender roles that really shows of either group
men are expected to be more outgoing while women are not
IQ really depends on your social group, upbringing, of you have no mental defects like a learning disability( there are more but i can't think of one on top of my head)
At this point, if I were in Trace's shoes, I would've said something like this:
"If you're so certain that mares are inherently superior to stallions, why do you feel the need to resort to making terrorist threats in order to enforce it?"
Granted, it probably would've provoked her into kicking my ass earlier then planned, but at least there'd be a witness.

I think you mean Rule 63. Rule 34 is something else entirely...
3465737 whenever I copy and paste from open office, it removes all the lines from the document. So I've been trying different things to keep it from removing them. thus the ~~apparentlythisisaline~~ was born.
3418308 I read something a few days ago - apparently females on average have an higher IQ than males by 3. Not alot and this is just the average, I know plenty of smart males and females and plenty of... not so smart.
3511086 scientific development would be a lot faster if there are more women in the academic force
but they are less likely to have a family and give birth
that would really be detrimental to the propagation of the species
3512765 True but our population is way too big anyway, we can afford to let to decrease.
3512846 thats not what im worried about
good genes are hard to come by
and smart people not reproducing is a bad thing
3514592 Almost a pity we can breed only the smart people but I'm pretty sure that counts as inhumane. I agree with you that the smart should reproduce but for there to be a increase in general IQ we would have to minimize the number of not-so-smart people reproducing. Though I think that IQ is determined by more than genes.
Phenotype= genotype + nurture
3515417 aye true
I foresee Rarity having feelings for Trace or Fluttershy. Would make for an interesting twist.
3586694 We? Oh yes I see a few people agree with this along with you. ^^
I hope this story updates soon.
3587008 Yeah, you have a couple good points there. This was the first story that I had an editor, and it was also the first story I took pointers from others, and also allowed the story to be swayed by other people.
As for not leading up to the first actual problem, It had been pointed out to me that Trace was pretty much just leading his life with his herd, and needed a problem to encounter. I think that is why it suddenly escalated so quickly.
This is my third long story that I've written. (The other two were Spyro) I'm not trying to blame others, more like I allowed the story to be swayed more than it should have. (And honestly, It's lasting a lot longer than it probably should have) However, I am glad it was enjoyable despite its faults. Hopefully I will do better with Amaya Ever After.

"As for not leading up to the first actual problem, It had been pointed out to me that Trace was pretty much just leading his life with his herd, and needed a problem to encounter. I think that is why it suddenly escalated so quickly"
i personally do not think it needs/needed a 'problem', i enjoy the chapters that are just about their lives together, just as much as anything else but clearly others wish for some protagonists
either way I'm looking forward to the next chapter :)
3628030 well I'm glad to hear that. I like writing their day to day life, but hey, I suppose that isn't always enough. Hopefully the story will continue to be entertaining until I finally reach the end.
I liked this chapter but I hope that the sexism will be stoped soon.And it looks like Rarity is hideing her love from Trace.I hope she will tell him soon.I can't wait to see what happens between them all next and what happens next to them all.And it I loved getting to know more about what happened to Luna I hope Twilight will be ok.
You know how to make ponies disappear?.... thats cute. Now unlike your vague and weak threat Ima explain just how I would make you dissapear. First I would decapitate you and have your disembodied head watch as I chop you into more manageable pieces then I cook your ribs with a nice dry rub I saw on the food network once. And I'll eat all of you and use your bones for glue..... but thats none of my business.
i honestly cant keep up with all of these theories involving the 'nightmare moon' issue
Yep, (burp) Stream getting one way ticket to Gazorpazop.
Hmmmm, I have been tempted to stop reading this story several times. Gender equality is a subject I rather hate. Like racial equality it is a subject that always comes up where someone is a victim of some injustice or other. I don't deny that it happens, and that thoes who perpetrate said injustice needs to be punished. But laws that force equality are just as wrong as laws that support gender or racial discrimination...
That said the story shows the main characters mild outrage at being faced with outright lawful discrimination. It irritates me that this is even a central focus of this arc of the story. Like somehow the prejudice of the town is so skewed that it doesn't want to change the law but it's not like the law hurts or benefits anyone. A good lead mare would not hinder her stallions independence by denying his right to sell, in the case of Lyra a letter and Fluttershy as a proxy should suffice. What the law represents is stupid since it makes stallions less likely to settle in Ponyville keeping the male to female population super low, thus only hurting the Female superiority group by keeping it small and dwindling. The whole thing is stupid on stupid and while Traces outrage is understandable having him getting worked up over it is silly.
Also the Intelect BS is stupid, while a silly argument that held weight ages ago has since been debunked. Had she used male aggression as a reasoning for wanting to keep males in line maybe I'd bite, but really this lady is one step from crackpot. And then there's the whole trying to keep society from falling apart angle. Once again maybe if she was going with the male aggression angle, but oh well. Two-dimensional bigot Charecter with crackpot ideas it is.
Just had to get that off my chest...
I hope that gene was nonsense spewed by a crazy mare and not a plot element. We are equally intelligent regardless of gender.
Basically saying, 'Stop, or I'll have you killed.' Bitch needs to die. End of story. Reminds me to much of those cunts who protest, physically block, and verbally attack men who try to go to men's support groups by calling the men misogynists and rapists and so forth.
