Gender Issues

[Nurvingiel]

This thread is an off-shoot of the Homosexual marriage II thread, where we got talking about gender issues as related to that debate.

This is the thread for any and all gender issues you'd like to discuss.


Let's start with the "women are nurturing, men are aggressive" debate. Insidious Rex and myself, and possibly other Mooters had a response to this statement. I hope those Mooters will join the discussion in this thread.

There are two problems with this statement. First of all, the statement that most women are nurturing and most men are aggressive is false, and has no basis in science.

Secondly, the statement implies that the trait supposedly possessed by most women causes problems for the gender. Why? What problems? What did you mean by all this anyway Lief? This too is completely baseless.
