I hope that title has rounded up the idiots who automatically believe
such things as "telling the difference between green and red is
genetic", and "gender differences are genetic", and similar idiocies of
meaning.
Don't know what I mean? Well, what is the difference between red and
green? Is it beige? Pink perhaps? Think hard. Black?
And what is the difference between male and female? an androgenous melt?
Or maybe something like a muppet, or maybe Brains from Thunderbirds? or
... something else altogether? Wooo - scientific.
So please, don't say things like 'x is something else' or the difference
between x and y is something else'. Just don't. Why? Because I'm a
philosopher, and I'm sick of seeing stupid stuff here. Y'hear me fella'?

What of the color blind? It's genetic. Women are genetically different from
men. Huh?

It is the color of a red herring. Get it?

Same as all the difference between blue and orange, or purple and yellow:
all of the difference in the color spectrum.
Is it beige? Pink perhaps? Think hard. Black?

IMV, males accomplish directly, and females indirectly.
That is, males make the momentum, and females steer the momentum.

'Sick of'? What does 'sick of' mean to you exactly. The reason for asking
is if you are 'sick of' something then why invite it?
first conclusion being, you enjoy or are attracted to being sick? Does
this follow?
