Homeless

Well, there are no female worms, whatsoever (worms are hermaphrodites). I think this is is a great example of how we put human feelings onto animals, and human stereotypes. That one acts like a female. Or more like: The other worm acts like a male, and you guess that if they're living in the same "house" they have to be a heterosaxual couple. How did the other worm act male you say? He ate much and was irresponsible.

I think this also makes us undersand how we look at each others, when it comes to stereotyping, racism and such. We categorize.

Animals that looks like they're smiling, or have a more beautiful plumage will be fed more by humans. For an example, you'd rather give money to help a monkey that smiled towards you, even though a smiling monkey is actually angry.

It's kinda sad when you think about it. We do it on humans too. A white person, speaking to other white person, about another white person won't mention the colour of this person. However if they're talking about someone with another skin colour the possibility of this person mentioning it ´, increases, dramaticly.

I'm not saying that you're a racist, no, you seem alright, but after all, you did use gender roles to understand a theoretical worm.
