As you yourself said, that is one point of many. If you want me to clarify something in my argument, make it clear where and why you feel it may not b...

Are you saying that this is a reasonable disagreement with me? Defend my assertions? That domination/submission is psychological and that gender is ir...

I don't disagree with Kripke, rather I was merely pointing out the flaw in Quine' interpretation of the objectual quantifier viz., the range of variab...

That is just like barking back at a dog and trying to justify why you would do that.

The key here is that we have coping mechanisms that enable us to reject negative thoughts, the problem itself being the rejection and that we are inst...

Trying is to adequately reason how your actions will enable the greatest positive change rather than indirectly being motivated by a psychological ego...
