Quote:No I think you're trying to confuse things here. I conceded already that the spectrum is not fixed but that a character defined feminine would have these traits. 'Most' females fall into the feminine fold, otherwise we couldn't call it feminine. I am certainly not arguing that all women have to be feminine and all men have to be masculine. I believe you introduced that. It isn't my interest here at all.Oh, I see what you are trying to say now. For a minute there it sounded like you were trying to say that all females were femin My apologies for the misunderstanding.
Quote:all I can say is what the fuck! I think you have played one to many first person shooters!
It seems that you believe that everything is up for grabs and people are all wildly different and DO NOT fit within roles defined by gender, job, geographic location and whatnot, but the fact is that people are not wildly different, for the most part, but fit within a distribution based on all the factors that contribute to personality. This is why I was trying to expose you to statistics so you could start to comprehend that reality does conform more often than not and exceptions are just that... exceptions to the very well defined rule.
I do not believe that people are not usually normal... But everything truly is 'up for grabs' in the sense that a person could easily be abnormal in some way or another.
Everyone is different... but most of us are different within the bounds of normality I believe that most people fit perfectly well into normality... however I also understand that there are those who do not fit into normality. In example, people can normally see... but blind people can't. It is non-typical to be blind... but that does not make them any less blind
As for the italicized: that was a use of metaphor... of course I didn't mean it literally Although... the effect of me doing so would create an effect quite similar to that metaphor (which is why I used it)
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
