That sounds normal to the point that it's boring. I remember ~10 years ago I was introduced to this concept in a way I was able to understand via an episode of a video program called "Taboo". The particular episode was about gender differences in Romania (I hope I'm not misremembering), specifically about a bit of the culture that "allowed" a biological woman to live their life out the way a man traditionally would.
Someone from that culture could easily be looking at the English-speaking world and wondering why this is even being discussed: it's not even weird.
Someone from your culture seems to be looking at the English-speaking world and wondering why this is even being discussed: it's utter nonsense.
I do love this point about different languages, though. Many languages have gender as a default.
somehow relevant: TV Series "Taboo" Very good one, explores the time and doings of the East India Company (not as a main theme)
> I am very scared of the future (which is already here) of mega corps
Mega corps, to me are just continuations of previous entities like the Dutch and Anglo East India Companies which in their heyday exhibited much of the same activities (trying to control journalists, controlling politicians/legislators, moving perpetrators of crimes around in their organizations). Yes, I've been watching Taboo, a very interesting TV series about the Anglo East India Company. Then before them, were the large religious organizations. Some even to this day, still exhibit this pattern of investigating victims to find dirt or investigating journalists for the same reason. Example from last week, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3462087/Catholic-Church-paid-private-investigator-dig-dirt-victims-pedophile-Christian-Brother-Edward-Dowlan-told-lawyers-witnesses-easily-torn-court.html
Try West World, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and Taboo and tell me they don't have feature-film-level production quality.
Thanks for posting this, I didn't want to spam the comments with the whole man entry (haha, "man entry").
I'm just super curious where the nasal/plants thing comes from or even how it works. Is this going to be on the next episode of Taboo[0]?
