Do you believe that generally, women are more prone than men to let emotion dictate their thinking, rather than reason? I do.

Not everyone is the same because of their sex.

Nor did I say that you did, sit down. You are, however, still speaking directly out of your ass. If they are not synonymous then you must draw a line between the two, which you have not done. This would would be support for your position, which is, at present, non-existent. Further, if that comment is meant to reinforce your point I will, unfortunately, have to inform you that the statement is a massive non-sequitur. If it is not support for your point, which it clearly is not, then there's no point in responding with it whatsoever, and there's no reason for me to explain - again- why it fails to pass the bar.

Quote:True, but evolutionists frequently speak as if evolution has a purpose. If I were to start pointing out such instances, you guys would say I was being pedantic.

Good, we agree, you mis-spoke, whether or not others mis-spoke is tq. Entirely irrelevant as a response and I should not have to explain it again. This "just kidding" garbage is a cop out, and I told you no passes would be given.

Quote:What profound misunderstanding is that? Unless you're disputing that evolution can RESULT IN differences in behavior between the sexes of a species, then your objection is that I may have exaggerated the case, not that there is a profound misunderstanding.

I shouldn't have to repeat myself so soon, but you failed to recognize the poor choice of words you repeatedly leveraged and then later floundered on some bullshit about how "other people did it" and it was just for the lulz. Troll. You have failed to produce a subservience gene, or explain how subservience is a biological trait that can be inherited in the first place. You failed to explain when this trait arose, and how it is conferred from one generation to the next along lines of gender. Above all else, you failed to explain how evolution makes women, specifically, do anything at all - or exhibit some cultural notion of subservience-.

Do you have any more questions?

Men get into violent fights and the like more often than women, is acting on rage considered allowing emotion to dictate thinking?

Yes.

Womanhood and manhood are both cultural, in many cultures it is expected of women to be submissive.

I do think there is a neurological aspect to gender identity (insofar as 'if your brain is structured a certain way, you're more likely to 'align' with the 'gender role' associated with it), and so biology plays a small part (specifically: constructing brains, which are responsible for personality, wants/desires, the like).

But past that, gender is a wholly cultural invention. There are men and women in this world who would be pretty much identical were it not for calling themselves a man or a woman. The 'traits of gender' associated with 'man' and 'woman' are wholly invented (you'll notice that many of them are defied by the individuals who still call themselves men and women?), since those very 'traits' do not apply to all of those encompassed by this bigendering system.

A far more accurate system could easily be made... it's just: getting hundreds of cultures to adapt to it would be a nightmare Cultural system, and totally bogus. I'm a woman, and that's because it's a cultural statement of my identity, with all the baggage associated.

Who said anyone was the same because of their sex?

All they must have in common is a little XY chromosome

Before I forget, and before this round of LOL starts, whoever is trying to justify this same tired bullshit on the grounds of "god"

The argument is DOA on the basis of bare and deplorably infantile potential arguments. Your silly little god myth doesn't have the juice to make your womenfolk bow before you anymore. To be honest I doubt that it ever did, or we would be at a loss as to explain precisely why the judicious and regular application of a closed fist was required. Get a grip.

lol :p

I speak in general, you'll always find men who are "too emotional", you would also find women who are tough & cold ; it actually depends on the person.

But I'm speaking about a general standard. It is true that children who are raised away from their mothers do lack emotional features, it is also true that me, as a man, feel really "contained" around female friends rather than males.

It all depends, but on a general standard : science proved that female brains do use emotional parts more than men..

But I really want to know, why many women get offended from this ? this is not sexist in any way ; it's actually a privilege to women !

How the fuck is that a privilege? Also - in science, nothing is "proved". Shit can change due to evidence.
