  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How is it different than with us?

How does this relate to what I said about androgynous behavior draws undue attention to gender.

You brought up the female cat being more willing to fight than male cats. Although that one example doesn't mean much if anything. They might simply fight more because they care for their young. Human women will fight for their children as a last defense too. Although the man is usually expected to put up a fight first if available. I'm not an expert on animal behavior, I just know power structures and whatnot are different between the species. Not sure why there wouldn't be some differences.

animals dont have concepts of marriages or long term relationships or friendships either.

Marriage sure. The latter isn't true.

The main differences in people besides anatomy are appearance. Especially since i believe we are made in Gods image I believe men and women are more alike than different.

Can you clarify what you mean by appearance?

I think this is another proof of the existence of God and Christianity. Gender differences in animals are more related to estrogen and reproduction and attracting mates, than about appearance.

Face, long hair looking appropriate or not, makeup looking appropriate or not, the same with dresses, soft hands or not, body shape (i think thats related to reproduction since some people look androgynous in shape, like the man who never reached puberty story), whether it looks right for the person to have their legs shaven.

Definitions arent black and white. Scientific American said about michael jackson that a child is biologically defined as a person who hasnt reached puberty, but the lina medina and man who never reached puberty story show that isnt true to an absolute degree. People change in different degrees, and gradually. I believe at 14 I was mentally a child to a certain degree.

Seems like you're stuffing in a lot of concepts together. You could use the term gender expression. Although I do not see face shape and general physical differences to fit into that.

I'm sure a crappy atheist. I hear that a lot from Christians.. I seem to unwilling prove the existence of God all the time. Richard Dawkins is probably going to want to slap me or something.

It would look wierd if someone with female anatomy had a male face shape and general physical characteristics.

Yeah but anatomy seems to fit in with some of your definitions for appearance. You can talk about them together, but it helps for clarity sake to have separate terms for separate things.

Why do you think femininity overlaps with masculinity more than vice versa? Its about being made in Gods image its more than sperm and eggs.

Anatomy is more than the no-no zone in humans, lol.

When people say boyfriend or girlfriend they mean that that type of relationship functions like a friendship but also has a connection to sexuality, which is why friend is a single noun and not girl friend or boyfriend, which sounds like friends with benefits or some other sexually immoral behavior.

I dont know how that word functions with women using it amongst each other, though.
