I've already broken down the logic. There is none that it stands on. That you continue to make irrational assertions without backing it up with anything worthwhile, is irrational.
You've asserted that things are 'just so' like everyone else here is doing.

I want rigorous equations if you're taking this route.

Uhhh ok, I guess I just imagined all the talk about yin complementing yang and that both are needed for balance and the original proverb assigning different roles to men and women (yin and yang if you prefer).

Alright, carry on then. :shrug:

Yeah. The thing is that these proverbs originated in a different time and different culture.

Our 'roles' are much more constructed now, so they have a different context. There's a lot of flexibility and overlap and it really would be silly to say women must 'act like women' and men must 'act like men'.

Yin and Yang are so broadly defined that they encompass pretty much everything that exists in the universe in some fashion. Everything from the seasons and the way the planets revolve, day and night, cold and hot, sky and earth - they encompass so much by intricate combinations and flows that it's really over simplified to go "herp derp male female"

It really does address all these minute complexities that people are bringing up.

Ironically though, people are being very Yang in this thread.

Ironically, you don't fit the gender binary construct you're validating and enabling.

Does it bother you that I'm far more masculine than you are?

So if you don't fit the gender construct, why are you validating the concept outlined in the WOT and the opening post?

I have a tiny brain because I lost my real brain in an accident and I underwent a highly controversial experimental transplant to replace it with a goldfish brain.

While this is blatantly obvious, why would you validate something that's anathematic to who you are?

Goldfish aren't incredibly bright or logical, I'm afraid.

But they do have personality!
Analogous would be a black dude embracing and defending the white pointy hoody philosophy. So irrational not only for the greater good but also from a personal perspective.

Food? Food? Is it food? No it's a rock.

Food? Is it food? Food? No, It's a rock. The same rock. Maybe it will be food next time?

Yup, like I said, irrational, much like the validation of a gender construct that's anathematic to male NFs. Drag it behind the truck. It will be happy and agree wholeheartedly that it deserved to be dragged.

I don't understand but give me food and I'll pretend like I agree!

I mean, I'm pretty average (you might say I'm exceptional, I couldn't possibly comment) and I've had "average" men try to do "stuff" to me. And guess what?
They didn't succeed.

i kinda doubt they came on with full force trying to rape or kill you at any cost
