If the number of sexes is n the number of genders is n + 1. One for each sex, and one for the people who basically abandon all earthly ties
The difference is tumblr’s idea of agender is “I don’t like male or female so I pick neither”
not acting on your impulses is not creating a different gender
these "enlightened" people still had the same general traits associated with their sex, they just chose not to act on it
like celebate people in churches
Which is quite different from “I wonder the earth in search of enlightenment while abandoning the desires of the flesh”
It’s called asexual. It’s not a new gender.
And if you believe in a spiritual third gender then you have no argument against all the genders SJWs have made up.
There’s a difference between being asexual, and living without material possessions, any major bonds with other people, and surviving off the bare minimum
being a minimalist doesn't make you a 3rd gender though
its like those vulcans from star trek
they still had emotion, they just suppressed it
a celebate minimalist is still part of their original gender, they just suppress the impulses and urgest commonly associated with said sex/gender
Vulcans also lived among themselves in a society and fit into 2 distinct roles
And are also completely fictional
as are 3rd genders
Again, it would depend on how you defined gender. If you defined it based on societal roles and norms, the 3rd option has existed historically in ancient civilization. That’s what I base the difference on. There are no societal norms associated with any of the genders Tumblr’s created. They’re made up names. In many ancient civilizations people who chose the path of enlightenment had different societal expectations and traits attributed to them than Men & Women did
gender isn't based on social norms, its based on traits from biological sex
And okay
lets assume theres a gender from rejecting both urges
its polar opposite
so Omnigendered
and if you have taht, why not a Hexamale-Quadrofem gender where you're 60% male and 40% female?
Except it’s fundamentally impossible to take on both the traditional roles of men & women in any given society
yes there is actually, its called the nanystate
where you both provide and nurture the people 😛
Why do you think single parent households are universally worse than 2 parent ones
Because a single person can’t possibly fill both roles at once
they can actually, those households are usually worse because the parents DON'T fill both roles, and don't have the time to either
Work at home dads are a thing.
Can work and watch the kids.
raisign a child is a full time job, so either be a parent 100% and have no work/other stuff to do
or divide it taht one works and is a parent 50%, and the other cleans/etc and parents 50%
The nannystate would mean the person working has taken on the traditional male role, and the nanny has taken on the traditional female role.
yes and a nannystate fulfills both
its a strongarm taht provides, and nurtures
Yes but the single parent isn’t fulfilling both roles, someone else is filling the female role, they just happen to pay that person instead of marry them
its still the same influence
but if we go back, you said you base gender on social views
and that means you consider gender a social construct, like those people that think gender is a spectrum
Who’s raising & nurturing the child, the working parent or the nanny?
