@gklr, I understand that. I was specifically responding to sharkinfested's comment. The "flaws" that shark pointed out are not really problems because they're easily remedied with a few words here and there.

"Easy fix. Just state that the barber lives in the village, that the barber is a man, and that he shaves all the men of the village. That closes the loopholes. "
Then he does not shave all those men who do not shave themselves, as he would shave himself.

It's not the barber that doesn't exist. It's the relation 'shaves' that doesn't exist.
Suppose there is a man living in the village who is the barber. Suppose further that there exists a binary relation 'shaves' defined on the set of all men in that village such that the barber 'shaves' those and only those men in the village who do not shave themselves. You can resolve the paradox by showing that no such relation can exist. See my video, "The Barber Paradox, A Mathematical Analysis."

Well we never specified the barber's gender, so they could be a girl, so she doesn't have to shave, and because she is a girl that does not shave herself instead of a man that does shave himself she doesn't have to shave herself. So the barbers a girl.
