I didn't say they must be bad. I asked if we could make any group-based observation at all.

Also, your implied statement of "women, on average, have no traits that are unhelpful to the flourishing of human civilization", strikes me as terribly naive.




> Also, your implied statement of "women, on average, have no traits that are unhelpful to the flourishing of human civilization"

Please point to where I said this.


You should look up the definition of the word "imply" if you're confused about it. Arguments have implications. Disagree with that rather than lazily claiming I'm misquoting you when I didn't quote you.


I'm only confused because I don't think it was ever my intention to say

>"women, on average, have no traits that are unhelpful to the flourishing of human civilization"


Then I would agree with you that women don't have those traits just because men do. But they do have them. We're all human. I wasn't trying to argue the former. Your original response to my comment was disrespectful and uncharitable which is why I responded in kind, despite that generally being an inferior strategy.


IDK it just seemed like you were espousing whataboutism. Men are violent, but what about women? in this case.


Ah. I see you know all the memes. Good luck.
