I would say because they are based off gender, and that is a poor metric by which to base societal structures upon. I don’t think one gender is better...
I can be clearer that was muddled. What I meant was the merits/demerits of a gender based society would match the merits/demerits of the genders thems...
I imagine benefits and problems of a gender based social structure would match pretty closely to the benefits and problems of the genders themselves. ...
Thats the problem principal based ethics, when certain actions are prohibited (ethically speaking). Lying, killing, stealing…as soon as you suggest a ...

You are mistaken, again. Neither agitated nor angry, just not into wasting my time. You’ve decided not to engage and so mock instead, thats fine, it w...
I never pegged you as the dishonest type, here is the actual sentence: “So I find your criticism weak, and it has the wiff of prejudice, like its a ch...
All of that was noted and rebutted in my initial comment. You think wrong. I never offered an estimation of your motives for your opinion therefore no...
Just because it is a term abused by some doesn't mean the concept is bullshit. Also, of course it is a way of saying “I think you are wrong”, it is on...

Pretty confident, i would stake lives on it sure. Thats not true. Our best predictive models are based on the patterns of the past and present. Those ...
No, dealing with climate change or any other adversity along with the rest of life is not something I wish to avoid “at all costs”. Ergo, I would neve...
Dont worry about it, it just brings a post to mod attention so they will have seen my flagged post and most likely ignore the flag after reading the p...
