Is it not part of individual freedoms which you seam to value so much the individual freedom of women to be independent, have a career and participate in society on equal footing with men if she so chooses? Or are you only here talking about men's personal freedoms?

@mensaction So then you admit there is no whole truth. Thus, you're admitting that what you say isn't the "truth." And doesn't my "truth" contradict yours?

There is no set truth in our beliefs and morals. You may believe what you want, but that doesn't mean it's everyone's truth. I haven't watched all your videos, but from what I can tell, you assert that it's "unnatural" to live in a way that opposes your particular viewpoint. That is, once again, narcissistic.

[mensaction]

@NintendoArielle Every one has a piece of the truth; no one has the whole truth. Nevertheless, there is truth.

[NintendoArielle]

@mensaction There is no "deviation" from "truth," because there is no one "truth." Your "truth" is different from my "truth," and a random person we grab off the street will also have a different "truth." Why are you so narcissistic as to believe that your "truth" is the only one that's true?

[mensaction]

@NintendoArielle Truth is black and white. Deviations from truth comes in shades of gray.

[NintendoArielle]

@mensaction If that were the case, we wouldn't see women who don't want to have babies, or men who like to crossdress. Things aren't as black and white as you make them out to be.

@NintendoArielle

We are notthe function of our gender; our gender is the function of who we are.

E.G.

[NintendoArielle]

@mensaction Yes, wombs and testicles are different, but those are merely our physical parts. Why should our purpose be measured solely by if we have a womb or testicles?

Once again, my point is that we are not defined only by our genders. While I agree that there is a "yin and yang" of sorts, it's really a metaphor for balance, such as what we find in ecology. Aside from being scientifically-minded, I'm also a philosophical person, so I don't let my physical ("material") aspects define me.

[mensaction]

@NintendoArielle Thanks for your comments. Since you seem to be well steeped in biology then you know that design denotes function. Those with wombs have a different function than those with testes.

You are using the Western material and feminine approach to knowledge by looking at the external world. Truth is found in the inner world. It is the unseen that controls the seen in all things.

I will leave you with that thought at this time.

Be well.

@mensaction If that's what you believe, then there's no point debating with you. If you think everything all boils down to that and that people are only defined by such binary terms as "male" and "female," then perhaps you should open your mind. I believe there is a natural balance of life (the ecology), but it's up to us to reach our full potential instead of letting it dictate us.

Yes there are. Ants, hyenas, anglerfish, bees, many spiders, praying mantises and meerkats to name a few.
