DANEgerous: No that is fucking stupid, why would i view gender differently.
Do not give into this, it is honestly kind of sexist you are only equal if you favor no one by default
That's silly. Refusing to acknowledge basic differences (minus exceptions, go away pedants) is by far more damaging than realizing things like "Men and women are not the same". They can be equal, in much the same way that chocolate milk and a cookie can be equally delicious.
But chocolate milk id fucking horrible as are many cookies. Or for a more serious answer i will just repeat this other than what can produce offspring no indisputable differences between men and women exist.
I don't give care about "indusputable differences".
"Common differences" I can work with. I don't even begrudge people working with "stereotypes".
The only thing that grinds my gears is "actual discrimination based on gender". It's the only thing that should really grind anyone's gears.
Grey Day for Elcia: Not all women have a vagina, either through being born with the male sex organs or through birth defect.
Theres absolutely no way I'm going there. Lets leave this subject for once, and not derail this thread into a discussion about what makes a man a man and a woman a woman.
I wasn't aware there was anything to discuss, I simply stated a fact. Anyone so close-minded as to not accept that would be met with a wall of problems. I mean, if men have a penis and women have a vagina, what of those born with both or neither? What of those who have them removed? What if you accidentally lose them as does occur every day of every year? We've already grown an ear in a lab, what happens when we start using someone's DNA to grow a set of genitals for them?
My fiancé is a great man. :) And he's one hell of a lover in the bedroom.
Also, he sticks by my side even when things get tough and is my rock when I'm feeling like a soggy piece of cereal. He is my strength when I'm lacking it. <3
i think that one of the members of the female gender will become my soulmate [i know its corny]. also, i am a fan of firm.... hams.backside hams, if you will.
You better get back under your bridge, someone might try and cross it.
I am totally serious, viewing one gender different than another is in my mind sexist.
But one gender IS different from another.....?
Are you saying that it's sexist to look at a man and think "There is a man" or sexist to look at a woman and think "There is a woman"?
But the distinction is not relevant, there is John a man, there is Peter a man, there is Alice a woman, there is Amy a woman sure whatever or just John, Peter, Alice and Amy. Amy may be the most masculine of the for an Peter the most feminine that do not chance the fact Peter is a man and Amy a woman but it does make the question of gender rather moot

No it doesn't.
It makes Amy a woman with masculine qualities/features/whatever and it makes Peter a man with feminine qualitites/features/whatever. Either way Amy is still a woman and Peter is still a man. There's a clear distinction.
I find boys more fun to be around. A lot of girls are too worried about their image to do silly things but boys don't seem to care. I don't think I have girl friends who could be called girly.

You realize you did not disagree with me don't you? There is a clear distinction but said clear distinction simply does not matter.
It had to be said, we can't do a gender thread without mentioning them.
Who can't make a damn good sandwich? I mean seriously, it's stuff between bread. You would have to be a pretty colossal moron to mess up sandwiches.
To be honest a lot of people. they are all "hey let's put tasteless chicken and ham on tasteless bread and just act like it is delicious!" but it is not delicious it is horrible.
Titties. no seriously (and to avoid low-content flagging...) TITTIES.
this is the one thing that applies to all women, and while some may see it as sexist, I see it as an absolute truth in this world. Some women are really nice, some are insufferable bitches. Some are bursting with personality, some are excruciatingly dull.
woman are amazingly diverse, and no one compliment can fit them all.
I find that everyone that I've come across in my life has put up with my shit and for that I'm thankful. Though, it seems that women have a better tolerance for my shit than guys do, though to tell you the truth, I have issues telling guys my shit. So there's that.
Women smell better too, though I'm not a fan of those who bathe in perfume.
I find women more attractive than men, plus thank God, some of them have an awesome sense of humor.
I don't tend to hang around with women much, I dunno why but women tend to either hate my guts or pounce me, out of all the females I would consider friends only one of them hasn't been romantically involved with me at some point, and even then that's only like 5, cuz as I said it's always extremes with the women I tend to meet, and yeah, I've not proven to be the most compatible person in long term relationships, maybe there's someone out there that I'll be able to connect with in that way, but I haven't met her yet.
However, I've found that every woman I've known has been enjoyable to cuddle with, and has smelled nice, so there's that.
Thirded, penis is very nice. It makes us make loud noises!
Mhmmm, if you're lucky enough to find the right one, they look after me and get rid of spiders and feed me chocolate and cuddle me when I'm cold and threaten to punch the creepy men. They're nice to look at and soap up in the shower too xP
I understand the cuddling thing -- sort of -- but when did a penis get rid of spiders and feed you chocolate? See what I did there?
OT: Young woman I used to work with was personable, motivated, smart, and had a great sense of humor. Despite all that, she was also very pleasant to look at with her slenderness, storebought tan and painted-on jeans. Her taste in music was absolute shit, but you can't have everything.
My brother-in-law's sister (does that make her my sister-in-law?) became a specialist in the military, mastered Mandarin Chinese, competes in distance running, plays a mean round of Munchkin, and can do more push-ups than I can.
Vault101: why is there an assumption I would have anythign bad to say about the oposite gender?..cultrualy and socially its been drilled into me they are the "defualt"
or hell...they are the only ones that ever get to have any fun
EDIT: also this thread is in a way promoting gender steryoptypes...OK OK I'm sorry
ummmmm
their parts are perfectly suited for our pleasure?...seriously thats the only concrete gender specific thing I can say
dammit there I go again
Not trying to be rude, but you actually make negative sense.
While I like boobs, I mean I REALLY like boobs, I'm going to say the smooth curves from a woman's waist to her hips and beyond. It's the reason they design sports cars like they do.
How about they have a vagina? Seems absolute to me.
Not all women have a vagina, either through being born with the male sex organs or through birth defect.

That one's easy. Is there the presence of the SRY gene? If yes, male, if no female.
