>It annoyed me how you seem to think sexuality can be explained entirely by sociology, your field. You insistently disregarded and downplayed the role of instincts in a behaviour that's as instinctual as they come. You were >implying the mind is a tabula rasa, a point of view that's stopped being worth taking seriously when neuropsychology first got off the ground, and arguably long before that.

The very first thing I said in this thread was, "Sexual orientation is an entirely social construct, but you get into dangerous territory when you try to explain to people who don't have a background in the social sciences that it is nonsensical to say people are born gay (or straight). If you don't articulate yourself carefully or people aren't willing to let you explain completely it can sound like you're espousing something you don't mean to."
I find it funny that you're accusing me of overstepping my boundaries when you have no idea what my background is while simultaneously displaying a complete lack of understanding of the social sciences and drawing conclusions through the exact sort of bloating expertise you're attributing to me.
But it's clear to me now that you have no interest in having a decent conversation, you don't care about the exchange of ideas or the challenging of held beliefs. You just want to be right, or rather you just want to prove me wrong. Your tone has degraded from pleasant disagreement in posts that I honestly enjoyed and appreciated to petty and offensive in these last few posts. I do want to thank you for chatting with me, you raised some interesting points that I intend to explore on my own at a later date, but I do believe I'm done talking with you because, well, you're kind've an asshole.
You have a nice night (or day as it may be). |
