(Upfront apology for any offenses and my lack of in depth knowledge)
As I was reading through some of the cognitive functions and numerous information in regards to temperaments, MBTI, etc. while being quite berated by doubting Debbie over my "obsession", (that's my mother btw.) I threw out a random argument that maybe God was referring to man and woman according to our cognitive functions and NOT biological. Of course, I was immediately shot down with "but procreation" and fired back with "population control". At the time I was just I was arguing just to annoy her, (it's a love/hate relationship), but I am curious if anyone else has thought of this and what their thoughts are.
To be honest, I think there's both the biology and the cognitive differences, now, that gets called "binary thinking" and condemned every which way but I dont mind that, I dont mind engaging in binary thinking at all, I do think that "biology is destiny" and there's nothing wrong with that at all. It means I'm liable to be labelled a chauvinist, hater, all sorts of things by different LGBT thought police but I dont care. Other people are going to have other opinions and they might even make public policy because they are fashionable and popular, that's fine, they can do that, that's OK, I'll just breath after my own fashion and think what I like about it. Freedom ought to be freedom for those that disagree.
I've read a lot of really great feminist material, some of it by what ever considered radical feminism at a time before that became synonymous with things such as "political lesbianism", which celebrated difference and the uniquely feminine as opposed to grey uniformity or androgyny. I always liked that, what was glorified in the feminine or as the feminine, such as an ethic of care, never seemed bad or injurious or harmful at all.
Its reflected in fiction in books like Sheri S Tepper's Gate To Woman's Country, which I really liked as a novel and for its communication of particular values. The idea of a mad max future which is secretly governed by a socialist feminist executive seems so clever but I know the fact that homosexual has disappeared altogether as a consequence of the new order sits badly with a lot of present day liberals.
Anyway, interesting topic, I guess, on the one hand, on the other its the sort of discussion I dont remember ever having with my own parents, among my own peers, even yet or while I was a student. That is interesting to me, how ideas ebb and flow and what becomes a talking point at one time or another. Even opposing some ideas ensures their currency, that I remember being something discussed in the nineties or shortly there after in respect of racism/anti-racism. Some opposition movements need their particular bogeys and some bogeys need their opposition movements too, as crazy as that may seem.
