Well first of all the significant question is if language has any inherent meaning. Since you jse language to communicate with me on this forum I am assuming that you think language is meaningful. Since there are only 1) finite number of words in the English language. 2) you use words to define and give meaning to other words We can safely say that language is itself circular. Circular things can still convey meaning. (With a large enough circle of course). With that said, Female is a human with the sex organ vagina and boobies. XX chromosome blah blah... The typical biological definition. It is a socially defined definition, the social circle being a bunch of nerd scientists. A woman is also a person who identifies with the characteristics of a biological woman. For most females, they already identify as women. But some males also identify as a woman. Which means that a woman is anyone who identifies as a female. A woman and female are two entirely different things. Hence it is meaningfully defined without being too circular.

Good representation. There is no problem with the self Id view, if you define "woman" like this: https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/81686-what-is-woman/?do=findComment&comment=1155639 Woman = Male/Female/Intersex person identifying as a female. This isn't circular. But males can identify as woman, which is what transwoman is. What do you think @Carl-Richard?

1) You can confidently say that you have slept with many girls before. 2) If lying makes you uncomfortable, say the truth straight to her face. Observe her reaction. She is probably not going to leave you. But you can't be insecure. Women smell insecurity. And insecurities are not attractive. Being a virgin or not isn't a problem. It's not like you are a monster. So it isn't worth making a big deal out of. Many girls don't like men who have beem with many girls before her. I have said to my gf that I was a virgin. Guess what happened? Nothing. Things moved on as usual. Any quality of your life is fine. Just don't be insecure about it. But people are allowed to have preferences. Nothing wrong in having preferences.

Sex and gender are both social constructs. Sex is more strongly coupled with reality, hence more useful in daily life for pragmatic purposes. Gender is used mostly social situations and only in such situations.

Justice served. Glad that there is still some sanity left in this world. Trans women athletes banned from participating in women's sports.

Two Genuine Questions: 1) If pregnant lady being killed amounts to double homicide, then why is abortion not considered as murder? The mother, virtue of her bodily Autonomy, has the right to end a life, which would be considered a murder if someone else did it. Does different people doing the same act, change the fact of the matter? Should the death be classified as a single murder instead? One person doing it means bodily Autonomy while someone else doing it amounts to murder. 2) Why didn't #MyBodyMyChoice did not apply for vaccine mandates? Why was vaccines was forced on everyone undermining their bodily autonomy? Many people who simply sided with Anti mandates were casted as anti vaxxers by the pro vaxxers. Now the same people is bringing the issue on abortions. I myself am pro abortion and pro vaccine. But serious questions from the other side must be addressed.

I value personal autonomy all the time above all costs. Not only mine,but also others. But it should apply to all the situations. Not nitpick on where to have autonomy and where it should not. Else the conversation will get muddled so badly where everyone gets to project their baggage and explain why it is okay to violate others autonomy while simultaneously crying about their own autonomy geting violated. Hypocritical tbh.

On a collective level, if you are going to take the opinions of millions or billions of people, then I can assure you, clarity will be the last thing you are going to get. Nothing is clear at the collective level, not just abortions or vaccines. They way that the masses think itself isn't Clear, then how come they can be clear about complicated issues. We will lucky to get some clarity at individual level, atleast.

My overall conclusion from all the interactions is this: 1) You must let people have sovereignty over their own body. The state has no right to intervene or make laws that will violate bodily Autonomy. 2) We must discourage undesirable outcomes. But never force people who do not trust you to use their product. People don't take into account how TRUST plays into this. Most of the "misinformation" problems are actually trust problems. You cannot force people to trust a product you made. Small ways to discouraging un vaxxed people are fine. But some measures that go too far must be avoided.

Here the context is already clear. The different people are also clear. Not the fear of pregnancy. But it will prepare them to prevent unwanted pregnancies. In a responsible way. Yes in response to Roe vs wade. I don't know about these streamers. ?

Isn't it kind of implied? Anyways would you support Abortions with the state dis-incentivising them?

The true potential of masculinity undermined to such astonishing levels. Everyone says they love feminity and being soft and them go watch movies about psychopaths. They deeply carve a strong masculine model. Someone whom you can Trust and forget about everything else. Something that makes you feel like a kid again. Can you find such a person for you?

??????

If you are not getting a huge ass BIG BONER looking at your own journal, you are doing it wrong.

Seek to develop the area that you are lacking in. Regardless of your sex/gender identity, if you are highly nice and feminine, develop your masculine side. If you are brutal and masculine develop your feminine side. That's what's going to grow you the most. While I was a highly competitive individual for most of my life I was also highly compassionate and nice. I often don't feel like myself. Now I am working to unleash my ruthless masculine side and I am loving it.

Bro go make a million.

@Razard86 haha you can be masculine and still have deep and long conversations. I didn't say otherwise. I am saying - for you to stay as friends you don't need to constantly keep in touch and chit chat over trivial stuff. But when you meet, then it is the perfect setting to explore deep topics about life. That point is that you don't have to constantly message them during a fixed period of time to make sure that friendship don't die.

The way to respond with mean people is to not respond at all. Respect is absolutely necessary. Even if you are only a picture on the internet.

I was demonstrating an example of masculinity can be the guiding value of a friendship. That's my value. I can instantly connect with men who are masculine and problem solvers. We can friends after only sending a text once a year. If some guy wants to be in touch for the sake of it, I will probably ignore him. But hey find your own set of values to connect with. Making money can be another value. Or maybe going on hippy spiritual trips and hippy friends that will keep constantly in touch with you. It's all about the values you choose to connect with. Probably a waste of time from. I don't care if it is feminine or not. But masculine guys are doing their own shit, killing it in life in different parts of the world building their own mini empires. When they contact me, I know they are calling me to get some real deal, I would attend the call with all seriousness. That short time when get together to get stuff done will have more quality and intensity that constantly being in touch, which has more than enough probability to annoy that person. Hey find your own set of values to bond with. I just said mine. I only need 3-5 friends which is better than 80 low quality friendships.

This forum is one the best things that internet to come up with. Wonder how people could use platform to fight with each other like children. Best thing to do is to ignore and to make use of this forum for as long as it lasts. People should post only if they have something truly to say. This is some place to get value from from everyone who reads this.

I don't think that's how masculine friendships are supposed to work. I have a couple of strong friendship. I don't chit chat with them. They are all busy killing it in their life achieving their goals. But I can call them at 3 AM in the morning and they will still come to help me and vice versa. You don't have to keep in touch like girls. That's why the value bonding is necessary. For eg if you have friends in college who are all in different top positions in different companies of the world, you can call them up anytime since you are working in fields that can be of mutual help to each other. I have met a highly masculine guy who drove my car last time I went to the airport. He just gave me my number and I instantly Know he is a friend I can trust. He did things which I want to be done. Also when I call him, he knows I am not fucking around and wants some serious shit done. So there is always that intensity with our friendship. Strong friendship. We don't have to keep on contact forever neither does the bond rot over time. That's the power of values. Men are creatures of principles and values.

Look at it deeply. Basically a social construct means that something people pull out of their ass after observing reality. Exactly. When multiple humans come together to use their "discriminative faculty" we call it a social circle. Basically a bunch of people get together to label, discuss and make theories about stuff they see in reality. "Male" & "Female" are labels that people made up. The process of digestion is a theory a bunch of people made up. Yes, it's closely connected to how reality works. But it's not reality. It's a map. Made by scientists. Gravity is also a social construct. This dosen't mean that you can fly to the moon. You, the moon all are constructs made up. Even the relationship between those concepts. Ponder on this.

Waste. But profit for the military industrial complex

Okay my post was put keeping in intimate relationships in mind. With friends it's mostly about values, energy, shared interests & goals etc.
