So, if someone with a dick had posted what poemless did, would you have included a reference to his maleness in your reply?
no, i don't statistically associate male capacity with whole brain thinking.
it's nice to be surprised though...
Why is the anatomical configuration of poemless of any sort of relevance to this discussion?
well, i wouldn't call it central to the discussion, but i dug the 'femaleness' of the comment. just a perception, i wouldn't even call it anything as crystallised as an opinion.
ymmv... it's cracking me up how twisted a simple compliment can be taken, because of gender....wtf?
reminds me of a time i opened a car door for a girl, and she gave me the evil eye and hissed: 'don't you ever do that again'
hello....
What makes this conversation largely male?
dunno, dickbrains?
Or is it just a conversation in which most of the participants are male?
haven't a clue....who are you, not a woman certainly <snark>...
kidding aside, i seem to remember it coming out you were female, but it really is ok what ever gender -or mix of - you are, you're someone who leaves a good feeling in my heart when you comment, not emphatically male or female, sheesh...
that's what i like about the internet see, ideas get to fly without the baggage, or at least less of it.
i will self-edit more, if my comments are misconstrued, i usually let it flow pretty much, because most folks here seem above that.
should i feel bad i'd like more 'female' energy at ET?
maybe that's not PC, don't really know...
What do you think is the effect of the maleness of the participants on the discussion, if any?
wow, sounds like a dissertation assignment, are you an academic, by any chance?
it cuts to the core...
yes i do think some of the attitudes here reflect some of the more stereotypical forms of 'male' thinking, and it's correlated with the ratio.
note not necessarily caused by, as i've met (too) many women who can beat men at that game.
maybe i've floundered into a minefield, in a typically male way...
i think people are mostly really polite on this blog, far be it for me to spoil that, though sometimes i probably say things that are misunderstood, sorry about that, and thanks for the searching questions, i appreciate them, and indeed count on feedback to let me know where peoples' boundaries are. i have been somewhat intemperate sometimes, but i hope most old timers have realised by now i am pretty benign, troll wise...
Do you think 'a female point of view' exist, in other words.
i agree with jung that men have a female soul, or anima, and vice versa.
makes life so deliciously_enigmatic_, and makes us all teachers of both modes for each other.
but it sure ain't simple, lol...
If so, why?
ya got me!
trick question?
sometimes i think it would be ok if there was a rule against revealing gender, if people are going to get sidetracked.
i'll try to avoid that mistake again!
waiter, please take back the pasta, it's too sexist!
peace, professor. i'll hand in my thesis shortly.
btw, i can and do take my own medicine. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
