I did not work with lots of dogs or cats, but probably there are, same as in humans — stoicHoneyBadger
Do you accept this as a reasonable biological hypothesis? — Joshs
if blacks are committing more crimes than whites in the same circumstances, is it OK to say that it is because of racial differences ( lower IQ, higher aggression, etc. ) and that those circumstances need to be taken into account OR saying such things would be heresy, we should assume they are equal and if they are committing crimes, it is only because the white society somehow mistreated them? — stoicHoneyBadger
If someone would point out that your concept of men and women doesn't do your intelligence any favors, well that would be bigotry/disrespectful, right? — Harry Hindu
recognizable behavioral differences between the genders in dogs and cats?
— Joshs
I did not work with lots of dogs or cats, but probably there are, same as in humans. — stoicHoneyBadger
Do you accept this as a reasonable biological hypothesis?
— Joshs
Certainly not. Gender is determined by chromosomes, not by how one's brain is wired. — stoicHoneyBadger
↪Joshs Traditional understanding of the word gender is based on chromosomes, so it can be either male or female.
It has nothing to do with how the brain is wired or what caused it. — stoicHoneyBadger
↪Joshs Biology, i.e. probably hormones, of course — stoicHoneyBadger
If biology and hormones can create masculinity and femininity, why can’t they create hybrids or intermediate forms of these behaviors? — Joshs
If biology and hormones can create masculinity and femininity, why can’t they create hybrids or intermediate forms of these behaviors?
— Joshs
Well of course it does, like less masculine man, but what's your point? — stoicHoneyBadger
if your son turned out to be a very effeminate gay man I would assume you would
recognize that you and he could no more change that behavior significantly tha you could change yourself
from masculine to feminine. — Joshs
↪Joshs Still not sure I understand what does it have to do with the topic at hand? — stoicHoneyBadger
Just curious if that scenario would impact your advice to your son on how to be a man, and if so, how. — Joshs
Not necessary, but still there are body and goal differences between boys and girls, which need to be taken into account. — stoicHoneyBadger
Like why would you think that building a career is better, than having kids? — stoicHoneyBadger
Depends on situation, context, etc. Like would you encourage your son to weak wife's high heels to school? Why not, those are just shoes. :) — stoicHoneyBadger
Like I say "boys should learn boxing" you replay with "aaa! you wants to leave the girls defenseless!"... wft. — stoicHoneyBadger
If your wife wanted to go out and work, leaving you at home with the kids, would you accept that? — Sir2u
You’re not doing your intelligence any favours here.
— Possibility
Another example. If someone would point out that your concept of men and women doesn't do your intelligence any favors, well that would be bigotry/disrespectful, right? I haven't seen stoicHoneyBadger identify as an idiot yet, have you? — Harry Hindu
Do you remember the 60's and 70's? — Sir2u
If your wife wanted to go out and work, leaving you at home with the kids, would you accept that? — Sir2u
society still disapproves of having to pay equal wages to both for the same work. — Sir2u
No, I'm not that old. ) Anyway, we had Brezhnev here in the 70's. — stoicHoneyBadger
I don't have milk, unfortunately. ( — stoicHoneyBadger
Than why men get any employment, is women would do the same for 1/3 less? D'oh — stoicHoneyBadger
I don't have milk, unfortunately. — stoicHoneyBadger
I know now why there are male homosexuals. The anus is so close to the vagina (ass territory or in biological jargon, perineal region) that some men can't tell the difference between 'em. :grin: — Agent Smith
But if you think it is alright for women to do the same work for 2/3 the money then you are truly screwed up. Wages should be calculated evenly for everyone based on the productivity of the person not on their gender. — Sir2u
Not necessary, You've heard of baby bottles? Besides, your wife can pump it at work and save it for the baby, next day. Breast feeding is a very good thing especially for the first few months. — Bitter Crank
I don't think anybody is here interesting in reading about your experience — stoicHoneyBadger
that woman are payed less is a myth, — stoicHoneyBadger
Why would you write such a thing, since it's so extremely easy to check it over the Internet through numerous researches and see it for yourself?? — dimosthenis9
