Define: "man, woman"!

[Spiderman]

"Typically, women have two X chromosomes and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva.

Male anatomy is distinguished from female anatomy by the male reproductive system, which includes the penis, testicles, sperm duct, prostate gland and the epididymis, as well as secondary sex characteristics.

Do you agree with those qualities as being part of the definitions : "man, woman"?

Biologically speaking, yes.

Let's try to not be far-right extremist conservatives on this issue. In other words, @Rival isn't allowed at this thread...

I'm joking. You are not an extremist! And you are superior higher rank than I.

First gender is different from sex. The above defination is the defination for sex not gender. Gender is an internal sense of who you are in regards to your place in society as man, woman, or other. Not all cultures have only two genders.

Biologically speaking I would agree with your assessment. With regards to gender however, it’s more complicated.
Differing cultures throughout time have defined the two much more differently.
Take this sketch from the kids show Horrible Histories just for example

I said define "man, woman".

Yeah and man and woman refers to gender. Male and female refers to sex. A man is a person who identifies as a masculine gender based on what they see themselves as in relation to culture. Same with with woman just replace masciline with feminine

I cant get more specific cuz of how subjective and diverse gender has been throughout time

I said define "man, woman".

Why? For what purpose?

The definition of a word often depends on the context and how it is being used.

Are you going to compile a new dictionary?


Here is a challenge.

Define “Floccinaucinihilipilification”

 

[Viker]

I don't know what a "man, woman" is.

Like anything, I figured it would be a topic of discussion that could give me more insights. More insight is a good thing, no?

Define: "man, woman"!

Biologically? Culturally?

Define: "man, woman"!

Biologically? Culturally?

Your thoughts and opinion on either

Biologically you're on the nose. But our Cultural concepts and expression of this has varied across time.

 

[VoidCat]

Yeah and man and woman refers to gender. Male and female refers to sex

Ill admit some folk use man and male interchangablely same with female an woman. So biologically you are correct if that's the case. But I see man and woman as relation to gender identity and male and female as relation to sex. So for me you'd be correct if you change man to male and woman to female. But thats cuz im picky on terms.

I said define "man, woman".

Why?

Is it not up to each individual to understand and be "who they are?"

We seem to be trapped in this notion that our organs (penis, vagina, testicles, ovaries) define who we are -- yet constantly forget that our most imporant sexual organ is our brain!.

I can't say I understand what it is like to have a brain that doesn't correspond to the rest of the body -- but I certainly can say that I accept that the "person" is defined by their brain, and that they are, therefore, who they feel themselves to be.

 

[Spiderman]

Why?

to gain more insights by listening to more opinions. Gaining more insights about things and hearing different opinions can lead to better understanding.

It is a good thing!
