Rose, maybe being male or female is more than just having a penis or vagina...maybe its something deeper. What then? Do we deny the parts of our brain we don't like? The parts that don't agree with the Politically correct gender equality world we live in, in other words...the world where we are all androgynous or deemed sexists by people like Spartan who doesn't show they understand the difference between sexism and differences in qualities. |
I don't even need to reply to this, since you have clearly misconstrued my post. Are you suggesting the existence of absolute 'truly male or female' characteristics (excluding primary/secondary sexual characteristics)? If so, what is your grounding for this claim? I don't consider it 'common sense' to make that distinction, considering the plethora of genetical and environmental factors that make up a person.
