It makes a lot of sense however, to separate people based on a criterion and find out how the resulting groups differ from each other.

- lwhi 7y agoI believe the criteria needs to be more nuanced that 'man' and 'woman' to be able to elicit anything valuable about society.
- psv1 7y agoIt's enough for the criterion to be real in order to be of interest. And this one is definitely real.
- lwhi 7y agoOkay, this is where I leave you I'm afraid.
- reroute1 7y agoYou are essentially arguing that all gender studies are useless because there is parity among individuals in each gender. It's true there is parity, but the scientific division between male and female is very clear. It seems VERY useful to study the differences. To throw them away because all men and women aren't identical feels to me like a terribly short sighted perspective.
- lwhi 7y agoI'm saying I believe the premise and criteria should be more nuanced. Men vs. women suggests comparison of two binary absolutes.
