so it's okay to believe women are superior but that believing men are better at anything is sexism. Who's the sexist?

There are more women on the internet than men. The only sexism I see is anti-male, bigoted females publishing misandrist stories in the mainstream, expecting special rights and privileges and abusing men. Women exempt themselves from their own rules of sexism constantly while exagerating their own stance as a victim.

Wait, is that site real or fake? I laughed at it cause it seemed too much even for a marxist.

I think I understand. But you did make a moral statement when you condemned sexism as being wrong. That's where I took the moral principle from. I believe gender roles relate to our need to survive and replicate. Women were kept pregnant most of their lives and reared children and developed behavior to best suit that. Men foraged, hunted, and competeted with one another to provide food and security for the pregnant women and children. Humans are very adaptable and I keep an open mind to most things.

that's hilarious.

There is a contradiction in your behavior. The moral principle underneath what you're saying is, "It's immoral to assume innate behaviorial tendencies between men and women." But If you don't believe in gender roles than why are you seeking only female friends on this board? If you've extempted yourself from your own moral principles than it's unlikely you believe what you say.

If gender does not correlate to an innate tendency toward behavior than how would gender be differentiated?

I consider myself masculine. I am attracted to the feminine because it's the opposite of what I am. The more feminine the more I'm attracted to it because it's what I am not. Saying that gender doesn't exist is denying my sexuality.

I've read parts of "Delusions of Gender", if that's what you're referring to. But DeMause's book on the origins of war seems to dispute some of that. Would you say men are as adaptive, emotional, nurturing, as women?

It's a tendency, not a rule, and I mentioned an accomplished female philosopher that I respect so obviously women can do it. As far as feminine women doing it, maybe. It sounds like having your cake and eating it too to be honest. Let me try and understand your point of view as accurately as I can so there's no miscommunication. Your thesis might be something like: gender and sex and have nothing to do with behavior. Is this accurate to what you're thinking?

Well let me say that I'm sorry for any pain or hatred you've suffered because you were born different. It must have been terrible to grow up so confused or forced into a role you weren't suited for. You have my sympathy. I did not mean to imply that it was environmental, not directly anyway. The mother's mental state can effect prenatal development and her mental state is dependent on environment.

Why is it sexist? Feminine/masculine is not male/female. The women in areas like philosophy (ie. Ayn Rand) are usually masculine women.

Why is it sexist?

philosophy, science, math, engineering etc. most ideas which deal with principled thinking.
