Sociology, sexuality, men and women.  ---  Putting the issue of reproduction aside, I think that if the human race consisted only of men they would have destroyed themselves completely quite quickly, such is their violence.  It is the caring presence of women that keeps the human-race going, even without the actual physical birthing.  I can see a woman-centered civilization lasting a very long time.  Women and sustainability are a match.  ---  2/25/2001

Sociology, sexuality, men and women.  ---  They hoax of the alpha male and alpha female.  They want to be the big dogs.  The premise of the hoax is that some men and women are naturally physically and psychologically stronger and more resilient and have a need to compete and win.  There is a mistaken definition of alpha male or female as smart, driven, strong, aggressive and successful.  And they assume everyone else wants to be an alpha.  What a load of hog wash.  The alpha male and alpha female is a joke.  A ploy to try to justify hyper-competitiveness and bullying.  The fallacies involved include thinking that "because nature is like that humans should be like that too".  Its a mistake to think that "what's natural is what's ethical".  Its a mistake to think that "we have to behave like animals".  And its a fallacy to think that nature is always pure competition anyway.  There are many examples of animal cooperation and nurturing.  Alpha male and alpha female smacks of social darwinism and eugenics.  It smacks of the flawed "great man" theory of history that holds that only the "great" are important, or that the "great" are more important than others.  It makes the mistake of seeing money and occupational success as the sole or highest values.  Most progress in art, philosophy and science is made by cooperative, thoughtful individuals.  ---  1/3/2004


Sociology, sexuality, men and women.  ---  Two intersecting axis.  Vertical one labeled positive (healthy) and negative (unhealthy).  Horizontal one labeled traditional male traits and traditional female traits.  By trait I mean a psychological trait, a way of thinking, a behavioral trait, a philosophy of identity, or a view of the world.  The best zone to be in is across the top of the diagram.  The ideal is for any male or female to be able to adopt any trait, behavior, identity, or view of the world, that is healthy, regardless if it is seen as a traditionally masculine or feminine trait, and no one else (person or persons) gives them shit (stress) for it.  Such a condition is not called androgyny.  Androgyny is when everyone is the same, and they are all in the middle between masculine and feminine.  What we are talking about here is rather maximum freedom of choice for all individuals.  ---  03/01/1997


Sociology, sexuality, men and women.  ---  Where did man come from?  He walked out of the forest.  Where did woman come from?  She walked out of the department store.  (That is a tongue in chic remark).  ---  9/26/2000

Sociology, sexuality, men and women.  ---  Women try to get love without giving sex.  Men try to get sex without giving love.  ---  12/30/1992
