That's your evidence to show preferences are not related to sex?
>Pink gives girls permission: Exploring the roles of explicit gender labels and gender-typed colors on preschool children's toy preferences >We studied the role of toy type and color in children's interests and stereotypes. >We also studied the effects of toy labels and color using novel toys. >Among boys, masculine toy type and labels affected interests. >Among girls, feminine toy type and labels affected interests. >Among girls, masculine toys and those that were pink in color were also of interest.
Welp, there are a few instances in which that is patently false. What's it like living life with such a strong case of mental retardation? Is this why you have never achieved an intimate understanding of the opposite sex?

Define masculine and feminine objectively without regards to human philosophy, phenotypes or genotypes. What is a "masculine" toy label art or a "feminine" color is arbitrary.
David Hughes
Sorry but it isn't. In the broadest terms, femininity and masculinity are only meaningful words because they were formed by biological processes. They were shaped and defined by culture to the point of inane specifics, but that doesn't remove the underlying biological foundation. As broad concepts, masuclinity is: -Risk taking (mental and physical) -Protector/pathfinder role (an extension of the risk factor - men are the first line of defense to the social unit) -Orientation towards objects versus people -Higher sexual competition
Whereas femininity is associated with the opposite: -Risk aversion -Nurturer role -Orientation towards people versus things -Reproductive bottleneck - females are the objects of competition
That's just keeping it super broad and not touching other immensely important sex-different features like direct physiological and temperamental differences. So, to answer your questions
>blue no idea, possible that it's mostly cultural (but not completely, as colors are known to have deeply aubconscious effect on human behavior) >rock vs pop If you listened to the lyrics, let alone the harsh metallic sounds and rougher voices which already signal male-orientation, you'd find the message tells you a lot as well. >sports The fact that you think this is even up for dispute is a tar on you as a brain user. Men are more fit for sport, and they are more competitive in nature. >cars Men are more object oriented. In adsition, the male sexual signalling is social status, female sexual signalling is looks. >cooking and sewing What do these have in common with each other and not in common with working? You don't have to leave the house to do it . That's why itvs part of the gender role. Just to burst your little bubble, by the way, literally all the best chefs are male. >hello kitty It's feminine because it is soft and has the proportions of a baby, i.e. the main evolutionary female object. 1/2

Yet they prefer objects that fall within the set of "feminine" or "masculine." Therefore, however they are defined, the distinction is meaningful.

>literally all the best chefs are male.
Yet cooking is considered feminine, my point exactly.
>It's feminine because it is soft and has the proportions of a baby, i.e. the main evolutionary female object.
Men are sexually attracted to women with neotenous features, so men should be attracted to it too.
>the distinction is meaningful. But you have yet to link the distintion to the XX or XY chromosome, and as has been pointed out, what is masculine and feminine varies widely by culture.
Levi Davis
Don't strain yourself. A lot of these numales are beyond salvation; they would rather repress the distinct sexual identity of the sexes while simultaneously claiming we are all the same. It would be funny, if it weren't so depressing to watch.
What is funny is watching women walk all over them and choose to be with real men. The STEM departments at my school are filled with the white-knighting faggots.

>long hair this probably has a bigger social effect, but whatever non-social ques for long hair could be these: -males are more often in situations where short hair is preferable because long hair gets in the way. hunting, fighting, shit like that -an extension of the female form of sexual signalling, long hair represents health and stability >flowery smell don't know how deep these associations go, but flowers were a female thing since recorded history. probably because females had more spare time to incorporate this in their sexual repertoire while the males were out hunting and fighting other tribes
There, I gave you some potential reasons for these cultural phenomena. Some more conjecture-based, some less.
Now let me ask you a question. How do you think all these cultural intersex differences formed. Is there a specific time and place that this happened? Trace this back through human evolution, would you kindly?
What I don't understand is the asinine train of thought that literally everything about iur culture MUST be arbitrary. Where did you get that idea?
Luis Long
Flowers could have started as a tradition. Some revered warrior or king saw some pretty flowers in his travels and brought them to his mate as a gift, and others imitated and the practice spread, as is how many customs started.
>What I don't understand is the asinine train of thought that literally everything about iur culture MUST be arbitrary.
I never said everything must be arbitrary. I said most of what is ascribed to gender is. "Gendered" items have been extrapolated, if not outright created, beyond any relationship to the physical form.
Juan Roberts
Cooking is considered feminine when we're talking about the family/tribe unit, but the fact that all the best chefs are male is a product of vastly higher competitive instinct in men.
>men should be attracted to it too A 1 month old child can tell the difference between a baby and an adult/adolescent. Don't be stupider than a baby in your quest for social justice.
>link the distinction I have, in pretty culture-independent language.
It doesn't vary so widely that there are cultures where it's feminine to be a bodybuilder and it's masculine to play with barbies.

Lol OP casually decides to ignore arguments that disprove his points and he isn't able to argue against. Over andlver again. Classic brainlet who's only able to argue in strawman behaviour.
