Who here are pragmatist philosophers? What are your thoughts regarding the suggestion that 'pragmatists and feminists are necessary partners'? (see my...

OK. Look forward to that, if and when. The thing is, this bull-shitting capability and lying is pretty much global. But yes, it is prevalent in UK pol...

Oh more from 'Disgusted and Sarcastic of TPF'. You see what you want to see and disregard the rest. But you don't need me to tell you that, do ya'?

Hmmm. Interesting response from 'Disgusted of TPF'. I guess her pushback against the sexism she encountered along her varied and fascinating life, mad...

Indeed. A quick dip into history tells us a little. From wiki: More here: And: Why women are still the property of men

First of all, I have to make an apology to @"wonderer1" for my earlier, flippant dismissal of: Of course, I am interested in this. At the time, I felt...

It might be silly and unjust but is certainly worth considering. It ties in with my feeling that most women don't identify as 'feminist' for a variety...

Thanks for your insights and links. I'll have a look. I have noticed some of what you mention but I have little online discourse. No Facebook or Twitt...

Perhaps if there were more men willing and able to address the problems of patriarchal structures, then the required change would happen sooner. Do th...

Do you think Daly would appreciate having a gender-neutral pronoun applied to her? I read of one feminist who said something to the effect that after ...

Intriguing. I had never heard of Mary Daly before. I'm wondering how you came to know her and her work. Via an interest in feminism or language. Both?...

Here's the original. No hyper-sexual male gyrations to distract from the story and social context of poor Annie. The singer/composer is no less mascul...

I think what matters is the context and the way in which Elvis sings this song. He sexualises it. Watch his use of mike, thrusting fingers and I think...

About sex and gender. Philosophical theories.

Apparently, only the tip of the iceberg. There are multiple critical analyses of not only that scene but the whole film. Interdisciplinary theses conc...

You missed my late edit. 'I hear it's gender-free'. Now, I'm wondering if that is the case. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomaspremuzic/2023/02/14/is-c...

No. But I hear ChatGPT does some neat tricks. Try there. I think it's gender-free.

Hah. A fascinating analysis. We will never know how pure the masculinity cos we can't see the serial sensations of the feminine fluttering kind. Or th...

Thanks for that explanation and G'night :up: :yawn:

Thank you for attempting to clarify your point of view re masculinity. However, I find myself confused. The source of this seems to be the ambiguity o...

First off, I'll keep this short and simple. Why? Limited time, energy and patience. I sense avoidance. Secondly, to answer my questions, there is no n...

You think mutual and consensual love-making has such power? How does anyone reinforce behaviour of a concept or thing? Especially when it isn't one th...

How would that follow?

If it coincided with doing whatever the fuck they wanted, they would be exceedingly happy, no? Nothing quite like mutual love :hearts: However, it mig...
