Shane replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"It wasn't well aimed. That was my point. Gender and sex are often used interchangeably, but when discussing the topic formally, to confuse the two belies either ignorance, or intentional trolling.
I figured I'd shut both down…"
Native Son replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"My favorite example, from High School German, of how grammmatical gender isn't identical with one's actual sex:
Der Herr, the (masculine) man
Die Frau, the (feminine) woman
Das Maedchen, the (neuter) young woman…"
Ken D Books replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"Snarky?! What, you gonna run home crying to mommie? I read what Will wrote, and understood his point quite clearly, dude.
As far as definitions....everyone interchanges the two words gender and sex...I've read them interchanged here on AOM.…"
Shane replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"Will just delved into the social sciences, despite his natural inclinations, I'm sure you can too.

Will Gentile replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"Two points, Sir;
1) That is precisely the discussion topic- the role of the sexes.
2) I would never suggest to a gentleman he leave a discussion because of a perceived disagreement. That reaction was clearly in opposition to the Art of Manliness."
Shane replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"If you don't know the difference between gender and sex you're welcome out of the conversation."
Will Gentile replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"If they are not, then I suppose you should be able to give birth."
Michael D. Denny replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"Feminists should do more reading

Shane replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"Ah, Achilles. That whiny little bitch. In the end though, all these men stood up and did something worthwhile.
Maybe, we should look at these times as opportunities. As was said before, in another thread, long ago, on this…"
Shane replied to Michael Aboud's discussion Feminism"You're crossposting threads now. But, I may agree with you. Men certainly need work, and productive work at that. As for causes, well, I do see what's become of Europe.
Perhaps this self pity, this male depression,…"

5 fascinating reasons cockroaches will outlive us all
Ah, cockroaches. The scummy, skittering, pesky little pests that somehow manage to vanish whenever you flick on the bathroom light. Like Mother Nature's little Batmans. Part of what makes them so hard to control is their resiliency, which is something of a biological marvel. Here are five reasons the humble roach will outlive us all:1.
