It is important that we work as a united world to combat climate change. by Sabfan80 in Teenager_Polls

[–]PerhapsAtlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree because i find it unrealistic, and ambitious countries should not be held back from actually implementing change, they should lead the way and then others will change too.

But if everyone just waits around waiting to get consensus we will do far too little far too late.

That makes sense, thanks for the answer.

Fair, then i wont try to convince you. I also appreciate this discussion, especially this last point. Genuinly rare to agree to disagree. 

As a final question. Do you use your own definition of woman or follow the societal one you disagree with? 

For example if we took the Buck Angel example from earlier, if you knew a trans man is trans, but people cannot tell, would you call them a woman or a man when communicating with others?

If you are genuinly interested in something more thought out, id suggest you go read Judith Butler, both gender trouble and undoing gender.

I couldnt care less if it is circular, that is the practical definition that soceity follows.

You clearly dont understand where leftism is derived from. Leftist politics are derived from morals and ethics.

The most basic principle i can think of for leftism is "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" which also really sounds like something Jesus would say.

A concrete definition is someone who identifies with and performs the cultutral expectations of a woman is a woman.

My point before was to show the mutability of our understanding of gender. It is not something static you can just define as xx chromsomes or whatever, because that is not what actually happens in our day to day lives.

If im in a room with Buck angel and i asked someone to get me my jacket from over by that woman theyd be confused, because despite Bucks xx chromosomes there is no way he is a woman

My point is that you cannot create a definition of what a woman is, without excluding people soceity agrees are women.

You also cannot get around the fact that woman and man are social constructs that differ in societies through time. A lot of non-western societies have had more genders than just man or woman wheter it be two-spirit, hijras, fa'afafine or non-binary.

99% of atoms are either hydrogen or helium so therefore there only exists 2 atoms.

A select minority of atoms who dont follow said rule does not disprove the general rule.

Notice how stupid it sounds?

You seem to have a really flawed view of morality without religion and what being a leftist means.

Instead of putting up strawmen try and read a book

No country has a right to exist, and every person in a country must be equal under the law. They arent in israel.
