It would be helpful if you'd make a substantive argument instead of just assuming that your position is obviously the correct one.
If you're just interested in being snarky, there are other communities that value that sort of thing more.

You are assuming that I am "defending a position" when I'm just doing exactly what it seems I'm doing: asking a question. If you're just interested in being snarky, there are other communities that value that sort of thing more. Wow!
- GavinMcG 8y agoYou're asking a question that presupposes a position, and your other comments here belie your awareness of that.
- narag 8y agoWrong and wrong. I wanted clarification about WhompingWindows' assertion, that I had not heard before, much less in such an absolute terms. There is a big difference between thinking some option is more probable than others and defending one of those options as the only valid. In any case, if there have been studies showing that beauty is without any doubt a social construct and only that, I want to know. Also you are not being reasonable about your criticism to tone. If someone express an extraordinary and strong opinion off-handedly, I feel no obligation to write several paragraphs to request a more detailed explanation. You seem to like to criticize others, while your attitude in this thread has not been productive at all. You didn't add anything to the discussion, hid your own opinion, tried to guess what I didn't say, failed, jumped to unwarranted conclusions, then invited me to go away. So nice!
