Oh yeah and another one i cannot ignore.

"Its not my job to educate you"

Hahahhaha oh man! What is this? 2015? Man i wanna go back. I wanna go back to laughing at tumblr otherkin blogs saying theres 80 different genders and how its not "Their job to educate me".

That was a simpler time

>Science disagrees

another good red flag for anyone wanting a nuanced discussion. Science is not a singular thing, there are debates.
Ive actually just dropped out of this discussion to read a few articles about the nature of consciousness and specifically p-zombies, might get some books on that. Blindsight was one hell of a read and introduced me to the concept.

Either way, its a view that comes from people that dont engage with rigorous study and review a lot.

It also explains the contention on the other page.
The idea that evolutionary psychology has "non proveable premises" or something along those lines.

I knew this would come up because its listed under "Criticisms" on the Wikipedia page. And its exactly what someone would point out if he read about this subject for the first time when opening this wikipedia article and hoped that a source that *i* provided would give him a counter argument against my point.

Well for anyone swayed by this argument i advise you to read the wikipedia article yourself, if were all wikipedia scholars here, and continue reading past the first paragraph on the criticisms page where you realize that this criticism is not something that is "True" and that the same argument can be made about Astrophyscis, Paleontology and Geology.

Fields that im pretty sure none of you actually question.


Lets take another bite at this.
You probably agree that Evolution exists. That through evolutionary pressures and sexual selection certain traits are enhanced and others are not.
Fine.
We can also agree that through this process, there are different sexes and that females carry children while men dont.
We also can probably agree that men and women have different hormonal balances right? Because that relates to pregnancy.
And we can probably also agree that children of young age and different gender react differently to stimuli.

I dont know how controversial you consider this but its something that is generaly agreed on.

If we can agree on those things, then why would it be logically unfeasable to yout hat due to evolutionary pressures in our prehistoric past, men and women differ in behaviour?

I mena this is super simple stuff but we need to unpack this.
Give me an argument against it. Since i just made an argument in favor of it.




And before anyone of you accuses me of beeing a neanderthal again, NOTE that Evolutionary Psychology, or lacking that, my assertion, is DESCRIPTIVE not PRESCRIPTIVE, meaning that it discribes something that IS not something that OUGHT TO BE, so there is no moral consideration here, neither does it say what a man and a woman "ought" to be
