I consider a man a person with XY cromosome and male genitalia, and a woman a person with XX cromosome and female genitalia. — DiegoT
those members in the forum falling under those categories are not called to vote in this poll, as there is not an option for them. — DiegoT
I used to frequent a forum where 90% of members are female, and I found it very interesting, until my views critical with feminism and gender ideology led the administrators to ban me. However, the men there were very interested in "female issues" such as couples, romantic love, motherhood or fashion, becouse males do not talk much about these things. I was surprised to find that topics totally unrelated to sex and relationships were very unpopular among most women, and I thought that women overall should try to learn more about (real) science and philosophy and men more about sex, love and children. — DiegoT
for the purpose of the poll Michael. You are rather demanding, your dinings out must be entertaining. — DiegoT
Consider how a poll about what colour is more relaxing, green or blue, would also leave out turquoise, which is a nice shade especially in the sea, but does not contribute to the question at all, only adds noise. — DiegoT
However, sex is not subjective:there are only two sexes, and there can only be two sexes. — DiegoT
But some people have XY chromosomes and female genitalia or XX chromosomes and male genitalia or XXY chromosomes or XYY chromosomes or both male and female genitalia. — Michael
Colours are made by perception, dividing the light spectrum that is really continuous. So they are subjective. However, sex is not subjective:there are only two sexes, and there can only be two sexes. This is becouse sex is not a perceptual division, but a basic, natural, especialization in animals and plants of cosmic or physical principles (that is, Flow and Restriction). Isaac Asimov imagined a universe with different laws, that allowed physically for three sexes, in "The gods themselves". — DiegoT
There are only two sexes, male and female, the same way there´s only light and the absence of light, — DiegoT
Yes, all categories are man-made, as the Uni-verse is one and strictly speaking, there is no separation. However, they are not arbitrary. — DiegoT
we know nothing about the noumenon — DiegoT
— DiegoT
That´s not a useful categorization because it only responds to subjective and political realities with a very restricted contextual use, unlike the categorization of two sexes, that is seemingly very well aligned with the natural and psychological reality we share with other animals and has the power to describe human sexuality in all times and places. — DiegoT
that attitude won´t get you laid Ying. Women want men with an important ego, because male ego evolved to help women to keep in check their sea of feelings and emotions, that is sometimes very treacherous. In return, they create a sentimental shelter where this ego can heal its wounds and get ready for the fight again.
Try talking about your favourite philosopher and why your beard is more important than his. I promise you that it will work a lot better than "I'm an anonymous subject of perception. With a beard and moustache" as a chat-up line — DiegoT
Ask someone else. I don't care.Ying, why do you think women are less interested in Philosophy than men? — DiegoT
And what is different in women who are actually interested?
Is it a natural-cultural sexual difference we should not tamper with, or just a misunderstanding?
