Humans, men and women

 It is always worth remembering that men and woman are human beings. That’s probably most of most of the interesting and important stuff about them.

But men and women are obviously not identical nor interchangeable.

Differences between men and women might be influenced by creation and / or the fall.

They might be a matter of nature and / or nurture, creation and / or culture.

We ought to distinguish between narrative and normative, description and prescription: is and ought.

There could be questions of principle and application. Or of a rule and its situational expressions.

There could be exceptions.

Valid generalisations are valid, as generalisations. If we concluded that (in general) men are physically stronger than women, that doesn’t mean that Sally couldn’t box my ears.
