Furthermore, stereotypes can be true. We are actually quite good at them. — Emptyheady
Your statistics would be relevant and possibly even correct if stereotypes were not communicable diseases. — unenlightened
This is very true, but it does nothing to further the inquiry, — Emptyheady
Kant was quite possibly a virgin all his life, with little to no interest in sex for the sake of pleasure.Kant liked to deflect away from himself and personal questions, and only ever gave vague, dismissive comments about his personal life. He definitely was ashamed of something. Like the least was wrong with him from what I could tell. Why so obsessed with being good? Why books over people? — Wosret
studying the existence of obvious differences ... — Agustino
Yes but it's still another area of study that should be approached normally, instead of with fear. Why should we mind being different? It's only if you presuppose that men are superior, that women being different becomes insulting. And indeed it's only if one presupposes that men are superior, that training women to behave like men becomes reasonable...... is a bit of a waste of time, like studying the existence of obvious differences between chalk and cheese. One might wonder at cheesemongers bigging up the statistics on how much calcium there is in cheese. — unenlightened

But surely that's also part of understanding each other - understanding how it is we're different.It's the norms of study that I have a beef with, along with the norms of training that come from them. The fact is we do mind being different, and we mind others being different even more. That is why we want to measure and classify each other all the time. — unenlightened
No. Adolf Hitler was a progressive, and just like other progressives, he had ideas which were obviously crazy. Only that the progressives never realise their ideas are crazy, until it's too late. Just like today. God bless us that we got rid of Obama and Crooked Hillary >:O Those lunatics would have destroyed America!Was Adolf onto something? — Emptyheady
What's the point of being equal? How boring that would be...Men should be less ambitious and successful, so that we can become more equal. — Emptyheady
It's THE fundamental economic - or better said business - principle. Every choice is a negation.Opportunity cost is a fundamental economic principle, an objective fact of life, not the fault of any institution. Many women can't fathom that, which is a shame but not a surprise. Only one woman got a Nobel prize in economics so far, compared to 73 men. — Emptyheady
