>>My argument is with compassion. If you said
>>that women were generally more nurturing, I probably would
>>agree. But compassion is something that all humanity shares.
>What's the difference between nurturing and compassion?
Nourishment in action as contrasted with sympathy and the desire to help
relieve suffering.
>>As a writer and practictioner of magic, I am very familiar
>>with male and female differences, masculine and feminine
>>differences, and so on. Sexism is not seeing differences
>>but in see superiorities.
>How can there be differences without there being superiorities?
That does seems to be the question you keep getting stuck on.
I'd suggest "with love, mutual respect and appreciation."
>>If you want to say that
>>compassion, for example, is feminine, I would probably
>>go along, but this has nothing to do with women being
>>more compassionate than men, which is not a true statement.
>If women are more feminine than men, and if compassion is feminine, how
>could women not be more compassionate than men?
Because you are generalizing again.
