Just, in thinking about this a little more. Would you not agree that a human name was not normally arbitrarily chosen? It was related to your job or y...

Yeah, useful things these labels!

I don't think I have misinterpreted or misrepresented you in any way. But you can keep throwing your toys out of your pram if you want.
June 26, 2023 at 00:47
It's unfortunate you find my probes so personally painful. Your posts on this thread are open to a range of interpretations. I like to try to find out...

But to me, you type as if you don't seem to understand that the reason this is still true, in some areas of the human experience today is because hist...

Do you think 'real women do whatever the fuck they want,' would offend those on this thread who consider themselves manly men?: :lol: https://youtu.be...

Yes, I do. But that does not invalidate the existing definitions, it just means that none of them are a prefect fit, for any given exemplification of ...

It's as useful as giving yourself a name. What's in a name? Human intelligence is my answer. Humans use labels to clarify and categorise etc, we all b...

Earthling is ok by me, but are you including all fauna in that? Does a man and a woman have total equality under the label human or humanism, in your ...

It's about humans understanding other humans and humans explaining and justifying themselves to other humans. It's also about self-analysis. That's wh...

Try to be more balanced! Does the following edit help you? So many women wish to be educated, have equal opportunity, choose their career path etc but...

My earnest answer to 'what is a man or what is masculinity,' lies within the answer to 'what is a human or what is humanism.' The answers to the quest...
