Nu. Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='Opalmoon' timestamp='1299609386' post='5060508'] Ish international women day today.:'3 Eh...I firmly believe that "the modern woman" (even though there's nothing like that but you catch my drift) should be neither submissive nor a victim of "the system". Not a whore unless that's really your job and not under the feet of a man either. I believe that the modern woman should be able to care for herself, not in the style of feminists who cry about not enough women being the head of a big corporation (now who wants to be the head of a big corp? there's an essay about feminism being a kind of capitalism in disguise, really interesting and maybe I'll post it), but being able to cook for yourself, possibly being able to sew your own clothes, or being able to deal with your car and whatnot. Same salary for the same effort as well. But that's just my ideal, what I personally strive to be like.

White Hollow Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Not all women think alike so the dictionary, yes=no etc is worng IMO Men are more loosy and easy going while women are better at making descisions and keeping their cool at situations(IMO, that is by nature) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='BehindTheMask' timestamp='1299552489' post='5059330'] Why does sex matter at all? What is the purpose of ensuring the human race's existence? You assume that A) Sex is important and that Ensuring the human race's existence is important, but you do this a priori and in an unconvincing manner. As someone who's thought about the issue, I will claim that sex isn't important at all. Why? Because it isn't special. It is just isn't worth the rush of endorphins and what not. I'd rather do the downtown lester brown, if you catch my drift. Plus, every man has to pay for sex(legal sex). Not money necessarily, but you have to deal with women, and the lack of personality over 9000% of them have. I'd rather put my manhood in a blender and turn it on than have to sit through a dinner with a girl, and her talk about how "omg becki is such a huge **** and she is trying to get me fired" or something of that nature. [/quote] I'm not trying to prove that ensuring the human race's existence is important; maybe that's what I believe, but my post has nothing to do with that. My post is saying if you want to pass on your supposedly smart genes, you have to reproduce, since reproduction is (to my knowledge) the only way of creating newer generations with similar genes, which is important if you want newer generations to be as smart as whoever posted that sex was useless or whatever his words were. Also... STEREO. Wait for it. [i]Wait for it...[/i] TYPING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said was that sex was not lame because it was a method of reproduction, and then you come stocked with some theoretical bullshit that wasn't even relevant. I never said we should continue the human race's existence, although I believe we should, but I said that if he wanted to pass down his intelligent genes (which was sarcasm and irony), he would be required to reproduce. Maybe I'm not fully understanding your argument here, because I feel like I've repeated the same thing for the third or fourth time already.

He didn't mention passing on genes, or anything of the sort. You obviously inferred that from his post and I was just defending the claim Secondly, my "bull**** theory" isn't bull****. Thirdly it was relevant since you said yourself "If you really were intelligent, you'd realize that sex is a means for reproduction in humans, so if you want your supposedly "smart" genes to pass on and exist for generations and generations, you need to have sex." In which I simply asked a question why is passing on genes important? You said that "but calling sex "lame" is an extreme overstatement and shows how little you thought about the issue." However, I was just defending the position that sex is lame. Here is the logic behind my position, in a more clear view 1) Sensations are just states of mind. 2) We produce the sensations of what we feel. 3) The more intelligent we are, the more control we can get over these sensations 4) Having sex creates sensations. 5) We can recreate the sensations in sex 6) There is no longer a use for sex 7) Therefore, sex isn't important. Also, my point is that the downtown lester brown creates a similar effect in men, compared to sex. We do not need to go through the drama and stupidity that is women in order to achieve the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Sankara Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 [quote name='Revolver Amethyst' timestamp='1298441778' post='5028371'] Ugh. Are you really going to make me quote and go through this thread's collection of dumbassery? I guess I'll respond to this one too: Bluh Bluh you automatically assume I disagree with you and think all science is fake bluh bluh. I doubt that all those studies are completely wrong and make believe. I do acknowledge all our differences etc. However, they are far from concrete fact and mostly based in theories. There's a lot more research to be done before we can start making sweeping generalizations off of a few surveys and social experiments. In addition I (and I would wager you and every other person in this thread) have seen numerous exceptions to such findings. For example, there is that one study where they discovered that males start processing 3 dimensions faster and are superior in terms of spacial intelligence. I have seen several women who are better at driving etc (the article went on to hypothesize that men really are all better drivers than women). Because these studies have so much truth behind them yet also so many discrepancies and contradictory cases, I tend to judge more on an individual basis than by gender (not that I dismiss all of the research as bullcrap). Sweeping generalization. Several men, myself included, have complex tastes. Sometimes to the point that we can't even really describe it. And then sometimes you realize the "Simple" things aren't so simple and have layers of depth to the enjoyment you derive from them that you cannot even fathom. I think it depends more on the parents and other influential adults in a child's development, rather than their gender, that determines the values they come to appreciate. However I do believe society in general has a loosely defined set of ideals that hinge on double standard at times. For example: A guy who gets around a lot is a "Player", while a girl who engages in the same behavior has a high chance of being branded a "Whore". There's a lot of titles and abstract BS that actually doesn't matter. Gender is not abstract. The defining characteristics are physically present on your being. The genitals in your pants and secondary sex organs on your chest (if the reader is female) are not illusions conjured by society's imagination. Those things really do exist. I'll just resort to snide sarcastic banter for this one: [b]I don't give a flying fajita [/b]about the holocaust because I'm not Jewish nor did I ever live in Germany. Meh.
