Is true that males cannot live without females? Obviously yes, but this is critical thinking. Do not post, no, because females and males need to reproduce. No, please do not post that. I want to know is there another reason for males and females living in this world.
Please do not post anything that involves: Females do the house work, take care of the children, and Males do the hard labor and go be presidents, yada yada. We already know that, please reply with something worth discussing. |

If you're asking if males can be deserted on an island and survive without women, then that's pretty obvious.
In fact, I've already done it. Three weeks of it. But to be totally frank, humankind needs other people to rely on for everything we do. It just so happens the most common bond people share is between a man and a woman. A pirate ship with a captain and no crew is not a pirate ship. |

I think males and females need eachother in life, but I don't think an individual male can not survive with females. Squeek puts it almost perfectly.
And also, in CT threads people are supposed to post there opinions. Telling them not to post something can restrict them from posting there opinions. |

No, because the men will get really horny, and all the heterosexual ones will kill themselves because they can't get any.
~*~ Being serious: An individual male may be able to survive without any females, in my opinion, but his life quality might be very limited. Since humans were meant to interact with each and divide jobs equally among the two sexes, A male with a female may be better relaxed than a male with no female. Same thing for females with males.

Human beings are biologically adapted to a two gender existence, including variants along the usual bell curves of physicality and attraction. At the same time human beings are also the most adaptive animals on the planet, and biological entities are by definition adaptable in the grand scheme of things. Our adaptability as human beings keeps us as human beings though, whereas evolutionary adaptation would perhaps make us different things.

You mean sex. We don't have biological genders, and saying that we are biologically one gender or another is a very closed-minded western point of view.

Wow, not reading an entire post is one thing but not reading an entire SENTENCE!? I'm impressed!
But hell, it's possible you meant something you just failed to articulate. Human beings most certainly do have biological genders, in any number of different senses. Sometimes the lines blur, and sometimes some attributes of one gender are present and others are absent, but always as a result of the interplay of definable biological categories.

Humans do not have biological genders. This is a flawed and western view. Gender is a social phenomenon. I think you mean sex. To quote wikipedia: Gender in common usage refers to the sexual distinction between male and female. Although ‘gender’ can commonly be used interchangably with ‘sex’, within the academic fields of cultural studies, gender studies and the social sciences the term ‘gender’ refers to a social construction rather than a biological condition. I am assuming since this is critical thinking we'd prefer to use the academic definition rather than the slang one?

Well, men and women could live separately forever, however, they would never evolve. Because of this the human race could never survive. In the end no they couldn't, but in a short term yes they could. It just depends on how long they are going to be apart.
That was a little broad but it gets my thought out good enough. |

Both races CAN live without one another. Cloning and such have been invented. The other sex doesn't HAVE to be there. Besides that theres not much a question here.

Kilroy, I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at with calling it purely biological... obviously society is largely an environmental system, practically unrelated to biology other than the fact that it sprung from biological creatures, but that's making quite a generalization. Grouping the two together makes any argument of nature vs. nurture pointless.

The only difference between the genders is sex, and societal implications caused by sex.
Ignoring sex, there is really no difference between males and females sociologically.

Depending how long/whether you lived in India, and where you lived, you might remember the hijras.... (yes I know their condition is poor, but...) they are considered to be a third gender, though their sex is usually male. There are other societies with "third gender" constructs as well, mainly natives "two-spirited" people. I'd just like to give some of you something to think about. If you think sex is tied to gender, think about this one: a very effeminate man. Now, in the west, we like to call these men "weird" or "gay" or "unnatural" or, depending how manly you are, "a threat to my own masculinity". But if this effeminate man fulfills all of our society's expected female gender roles, how can you call him a person of the male gender? Just because he has a penis? In some other cultures this sort of person would be considered a woman, or a person of a separate gender. Gender is a combined effort of what society and ourselves consider our role to be. Gender is very hard to put a finger on if you aren't using biology - which you shouldn't be, because they are not alike. When a baby is born, does it have a gender? I'd say it does, to the extent that when the parents see that it has a certain genitalia, they will treat the baby differently. What's the big question when a baby's born (if you haven't yet determined it with ultrasound)? "Is it a girl or a boy?" We place so much emphasis on which sex the baby is that we forget that it does not determine the child's gender, apart from how we treat the child. Sometimes, treating a child as a certain gender can cause them to believe they are of that gender. But other times, the child "knows" this doesn't feel right, and seeks to define their own gender identity. Thus, it is a combined effort on the part of the self and society.

Perhaps you are using a non-standard definition of the term mincing hairs...

I might jsut be an idiot here, but aren't there more differences twixt males and females' physiology than their distinct reproductive organs? For example, male bodies produce testosterone and female bodies produce estrogen, these hormones affect how the body thinks, feel and developes?
