HijacK: People have this tendency of classifying aggressive tone and vocabulary as trolling. I find it extremely irrational. It's the same as condemning everything you don't understand as wrong, exactly like the paradox of Dark Magic or Dark Arts in fantasy culture.

Don't stand between a man and his gaming porn Pimp!

I'm sorry I didn't mean to, it was the soberness.

He's just afraid that people fapping to games will interfere with his pimping business ;-)

Klumpen0815: I just got a totally different opinion, believe me.
Phrases like "a female personality" are extremely sexist in itself and imho total BS.
The fact people like her can spread their sexism everywhere under the disguise of fighting sexism (haha) is sad and only possible because people still live in an old mindset where a "personality" can be male or female.
So you are saying that male and female minds are exactly alike, no difference in personality? And saying there are differences is sexist?
Meh fish.

I think that the differences in character are not related to gender directly, only indirectly because of social surroundings, for example parents and environment treating you like they think male/female is supposed to be from the very beginning.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy imho.

All girls I know that grew up with parents who rather wanted a boy are just like others imagine boys and vice versa, that's not surprising at all, because the social gender is created rather than existing anyway.
Sorry, but reality is sexist. There are anatomical and neurochemical differences between male and female brains which affect behaviour.

Of course, but compared to what people make out of it, the differences are barely noticable and mostly related to the menstrual cycle.

Klumpen0815: Gender is only defined by anatomy for me and not by "how male/female you act" *sic*.
[...]
maybe I'm the only one that only defines gender by your bones and what you got in your pants.
You probably are, because that's the exact opposite to the commonly accepted definition of "gender". What you describe is referred to as "sex". "Gender", as it is used today, is a term explicitly meant to describe gender roles as taught by society, as opposed to biological sex. And the distinction is not made to prove that "males have to be like this, females like that", but on the contrary, to raise critical awereness and to support what you're saying - that your biological sex alone does not determine how you behave as a man or a woman, that it's really difficult to talk about supposed differences in personality between men and women without acknowledging that a large part of what makes a man a man or a woman a woman is a social construct and taught by your environment since birth, instead of inherently related to your sex. That is not to say that there aren't any biological differences - of course, there are - but to what degree they influence your thinking is hard to tell, since they are overlayed by a lot of other strong influences outside of you that you will have a hard time separating from the biological.

By your refusal of "gender" as a social construct I think you're actually rebelling against the very same concept that you seem to believe in. And I agree with you that the quoted phrases attributed to Anita Sarkeesian about "female personality" are silly, if she meant them that way.

Anyway, I thought this wasn't meant to be another one of 'those' threads. Just give the OP his nude mod already and let's move on. :D

Nope, they affect behaviour in everyday life.
