is as plain as the definition of the word "gender". If anyone wants to argue that it's not a social construct is to admit they aren't willing to use the actual definitions of words in the English language. I'm not interested in wasting my time justifying my position to those that chose to be willfully ignorant.

I don't even know what to say to your last paragraph and fail to see any correlation to gender and race as social constructs.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

You don’t understand anything - Panthera MU - 3/17 09:19:23

Is gender or gender roles the construct? - tcat KC - 3/17 08:54:59

No, there's a difference between sex and gender. - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 08:58:11

Yeah by you. Gender is just a naming of a sex - tcat KC - 3/17 09:02:06

no (nm) - pickle MU

What is the name of the sex of a organism - tcat KC - 3/17 09:26:34

Sex =/= gender (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/17 09:28:57

Gender is just a name assigned to the sex - tcat KC - 3/17 09:35:14

No, that’s incorrect (nm) - pickle MU

This I believe to be true(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:08:38

No - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:03:20

Seems the concept of gender was constructed and contrived - hokie VT - 3/17 09:12:50

You just perfectly ascribed the whole gender construct - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:19:16

I can't believe so many of you are so willfully ignorant. - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:13:10

They don't believe the definitions - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:16:43

Every person is different - meatiger MU - 3/17 10:16:59

Every person is indeed different, but here is reality - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 10:19:24

Where did I ever say - meatiger MU - 3/17 10:28:37

I am actually holding to the definitions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:20:52

no..you are holding to the definition of sex(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:21:36

And male/female is sex - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:23:49

So if you met a person - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:26:07

I know such a person - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:27:35

good that he knows you are a bigot(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:28:54

There is nothing bigoted about science meat(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:30:20

Gender as a social construct is more than just a role. - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:25:11

No, it is pretty much an assumed role and it does not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:26:54

And that is fine - what I say is crazy is that we are - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:14:30

no, it's a man taking on a woman's role - ashtray UF - 3/17 09:49:12

Why do you care so much? - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:17:48

Same reason I would not call Phil Benji if he told me he - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:18:36

Why do you have to keep bringing up completely different - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:20:20

Because if we are denying what we definitively know about - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:21:56

this was the same argument used to oppose gay marriage - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:23:20

No, but it would have been had the argument for gay marriage - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:25:07

that was not my point - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:27:02

In gay marriage the argument was not about denying - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:28:57

nobody is doing that with male/female (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/17 09:50:28

lol(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:30:23

And not surprising that is your response as there is - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:31:06

because it is stupidity - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:33:46

Then refute me scientifically - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:35:34

It has been said many times - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:36:56

Re-read the path you took and the argument I made meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:39:10

What have I changed? - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:42:10

But that still does not change whether they are male - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:47:07

your analogies are just downright horrible - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:50:12

IMO, you can call whomever you like whatever you like - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:17:39

Gender may be a social construct, but assuming the role does - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:19:38

may be? It absolutely 100% is a social construct. - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:22:32

So fine, but assuming the role of a female does not make you - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:25:47

what is the "role of a female" - ashtray UF - 3/17 09:52:10

That's because there is more involved in gender than - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:29:05

It does not matter what a man assumes by way of gender - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:31:44

Given we now have hormone therapy and operations - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:22:23

One's sex can be masked - cannot be changed - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:33:22

so what - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:34:20

You just claimed sex can be changed - no it cannot - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:40:17

agree with you - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:43:20

And too many have taken that name to mean it can be - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:44:59

no (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/17 09:53:09

he is a "male"(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:45:32

So I am about as white as I can be - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 08:52:10

No, that's not how social constructs work (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 08:53:59

So how is race a social construct in the same way a man - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 08:54:46

Having white skin is a fact. - kmawv8 MU - 3/17 09:01:19

How is the white race a social construct? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:08:15

Define the elements of race - pickle MU

- 3/17 09:24:51

Because people make assumptions about people - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:12:02

But taking on the assumed role of another group does not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:13:01

female isn't a gender (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/17 10:02:47

And if that person feels more comfortable in that role - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:14:37

And they can do so, but that does not make a man a - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:34:10

yet..it bothers you tremendously(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/17 09:37:40

Facts don't bother me - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/17 09:44:16
