The "naturally occurring" gender roles are a relic of a bygone era, yet they persist because society as a whole still fails to accept anything far outside the norms. The reason it seems to be opposite at the moment is because progressive steps are being taken towards such and are succeeding.

It's also how many people are still raised: Girls and boys are still overall expected to do what they've always been expected to do, there's just less emphasis on the women's roles being enacted since they've started being respected.

And don't get me started on how people today still use terms like "gay" to mean "inferior." Because, you know, masculinity is still inherently better than anything resembling femininity, right?

I wouldn't go as far as to say that homosexuality in itself represents femininity.

But you're right in that people shouldn't use the term gay the same as one should say "jank" "inferior" "silly"

 

[Comeback Kid]

I don't think "everyone needs to work or your family starves" is a progressive step, that is the economic system forcing two working parents instead of allowing one parent to stay home and raise children. And in that the mother would probably get the option much more often than the father would based on inclination.

And you really aren't giving the different play styles of boys and girls enough credit. Raising both the same will not yield the same results with all other things being within average parameters. Which as I said has a lot to do with hormones even if that is against the idea that gender doesn't have any biological basis to it.

Society accepts all kinds of things outside the norm, what makes them outside the norm is that not many people choose to do it.

It's a shame we don't live near Charleston. I heard the scene there's fairly poppin'.

They is poppin something fierce, I tell you what. That part of SC actually makes it seem like this place isn't too bad for smash. It's the promise land.

(Not this again...)

There are marked mental, physical, and emotional differences between males and females. Also, if 'male' and 'female' don't mean anything, why would our species have two genders? From an evolutionary standpoint, if our genders didn't mean anything, wouldn't we just be asexual?

 

[Leafeon]

Am I going to have to ask about candy for another topic shift again

 

[Soft Serve]

He's not wrong as long as we have Diddy

fixed

real talk I thought wolf was my spirit character but I was wrong, I forgot how much I loved Diddy before I dropped him.

Diddy is my smash character bae, even though I probably play more melee because there's more melee going on around me.

Melee would be easier to find in my area, but those guys are hard to beat w/ Roy.

And I was referencing the "bigger" ; v ;

I think the closest thing we got going for us right now is Extinction III in a few weeks, but that's a given. I'm hoping to get together with some pals to get prepared for it because labwork and lvl. 7 CPUS can only go so far.

hmm
We got turtle smash 2 and a nc event er two before then iirc. HMU if you get some sorta group thing going on.

I wasn't saying that, I'm saying that it's likely seen as such by those who fling it around in such a crude manner.

Society accepts all kinds of things outside the norm, what makes them outside the norm is that not many people choose to do it.

I didn't mention anything about the economy? If one wants to stay at home while the other works, that is entirely their choice to make.

I don't like to sound condescending, but it's fairly obvious that no two individuals ever turn out the same. Even identical twins raised by the same parents would eventually differentiate in some way, so it's not purely a hormonal thing.

And I so wish that last sentence of yours was as true as it should be. On average, people don't like when things deviate from the norm, and more people than I'd care to know are a bit too vocal about stamping out what they don't understand.

Gender =/= sex, to start. Reproduction cares not about individuals, only survival, and as the sentient terraformers we 7 billion humans have become it's safe to assume that we don't need to focus on reproduction at this moment.

And the differences between male and female humans really aren't drastic compared to other species. If sexual dimorphism was great enough, this discussion would not take place at all

We also got Olympus here in Clemson on the 28th of February. Forgot about Turtle Smash 2 this Saturday. I'd go if i didn't have prior plans. :/

If I start anything I'll let you know.

Oh, you're from Clemson?

Do you know the Ike player Winston? I dunno what his tag is, though.

My point is, you can't deny that there are fundamental differences between guys and girls.

Genitals are hard to deny, yes.

I'm thinking about passing on turtle and just hitting up 1UP, since people are actually gonna be there.

****, i need to learn to read.

No, i don't know hom sadly. :/

*rolls eys* does anyone care about anything besides genitals anymore?
Secondary characteristics, anyone?

 

[robosteven]

I like PM because now I can beat up spacies in exciting new ways

 

[Binary Clone]

I was just wondering because one of my friends from Clemson just visited me and got me a ****ing awesome commission from him of Roy.

Sums up my opinions on gender

 

[This Guy!]

I'd go if I had a way to Greenville, that and I have a buddy coming from out of state that I haven't seen in years. I love PM, but I gotta see my boy!

Also, how bout that downtime everybody? XD

 

[robosteven]

hahaha you think I use Olimar against Fox good one

 

[Comeback Kid]

So this is a good, short documentary about the most equal country in the world (Norway) and how that pesky science just keeps getting in the way of dogma and ideology.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LRdW8xw70

Note: the science starts around 15 minutes in and continues until the end. It is interesting to see how supposed "researchers" react to a mountain of evidence.

 

[PlateProp]

I wish I could go back to being that asexual child who didn'y give a **** about anything but playing pokemon

My life was so much better back then

 

[Soft Serve]

Not that I want to divert this topic, I actually find this very interesting and want to listen to both sides (I agree with what poot is saying pretty much tho), but I was looking back at our melee weekly results in a big rankings spread sheet Vitro made.
**** me man, I got out of my slump and kept improving, but out of the last 6 weeklies, I went to 5 of them, and tied for 9th at all of them.
So close to top 8 qq

You could be anything you want on tumblr

 

[PMS | LEVEL 100 MAGIKARP]

>sees pink text blatantly upholding sexism and the gender binary

the gender binary doesn't exist and your preconceptions of genders shouldn't exist either

>leaves b4 ****storm

 

[Comeback Kid]

People who think that colors are a determining factor in gender preferences are pretty stupid to begin with. So maybe you are?

And of course, no answer to what is actually being said, which has nothing to do with sexism.

I swear Magikarp you are the worst hit and run poster out of anyone.

 

[Grey Belnades]

I want to bury all of you.

I don't reall see how that would work. It's not like I would automatically become that person again

[Empyrean]

Guys wtf stop talking about social issues in the social thread

 

[Rᴏb]

All this talk of gender makes me extremely grateful that I know what I am and don't have to deal with the burden of trying to get others to understand what I am because of how innate heterosexuality is.

Also, does anyone else believe that sexism is inescapable and thus completely fine to a degree?

 

[shairn]

Is anybody good with electrophilic aromatic substitutions
Please

 

[Comeback Kid]

Sexuality is much more fluid of a concept than gender is, yes shocking I know.

 

[Soft Serve]

Is anybody good with electrophilic aromatic substitutions

I would offer to help, because I actually did okay with those, but I realized I forgot everything 2 days after the semester ended.

 

[InfamousLuffy]

Should there be a different topic, for sexuality concepts.
