It is perfectly natural for humans of either gender to laugh at an
obvious joke. As a result, the qualifier "male" was not needed.

I did, that is why I made the joke. There was a serious thought behind
it that I think you missed. The whole 70 virgins thing doesn't work
unless virgins are created for the purpose in heaven. The numbers
can't be made to work otherwise.

> Assume that those virgins do not get replaced.

Why would I assume that? The promice of "70 virgins" would be sort of
meaningless if the same 70 had to serve all the martyrs. That would be
less than one virgin each. This would be more lawyering of the
situation than anyone would expect of God.

> Now heaven is enternal look but don't touch.

Each martyr getting 70 virgins does not mean that they remain virgins.
The logic doesn't follow.

You seem to be suggesting that it wouldn't also be for females.

So do I but I've learned to live with the fact that others simply can't
keep up with my thinking, humor and artistic skills. This is the curse
of being the smartest person in the world.

Because she had a point to make, and made it.

I assume you are talking about your own denial and appeasement of BAH here?
In her case it is abject denial that anything but the exact current US
policy can prevent terrorism and appeasement of any home sacrifices which
need to be made.

I am glad you summarised your own position so succinctly.
