      Where do you? Do you think that all societies in the world have the same culture as you?

        I’m just saying the cultures arise from the people. There’s a reason things are the way they are and it’s not some evil corporation or government trying to oppress us. At least in the west. Can’t quite say that about China or other Communist regimes.

          Things are the way they are because people are forced into the culture they were born into and are pressured at every angle to stay that way or face social backlash.

          I got called gay cause I got too excited while talking to one of my friends. Because it’s a common culture trait in America that any overly positive emotion towards another guy means your a sissy boy

            They called you gay not because they thought you were homosexual but as an offhanded insult. The two definitions have been disconnected for quite a while.

              I mean, no, the definitions are not disconnected at all. Gay was used as an insult because it meant homosexual.

              Trust me it wasn’t just an insult where I grew up it had a seriously negative impact on my ability to socialize or form any kind of romantic relationship

      You’re right to a point, it’s just coming off as dismissive.

      Yes, men and women are built differently through biology. Yes, hormones give an innate edge for certain factors. One of them may very well be the ability to last without a social structure for longer than women. We’ve slowly built up our society with smoky mirrors of those facts around us.

      What they’re saying is that nature vs nurture isn’t 100% one way or the other which I think you’d agree with. It’s more you’re both pressing pedantic points lol.
