[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 8212370, member: 3656"] Unfortunately I don't have one hour and thirty four minutes in which to watch the whole video. But to take a stab at answering the question, i think it's worth pointing out that sex and gender are not the same thing, though most people mistakenly think they are. Sex is a biological term, and for most people has a binary answer, male or female. There are of course naturally occurring exceptions to this, and always have been. Gender refers to traits, social roles, identities etc. We all know biological women with many masculine traits, and men with feminine traits. Indeed, we all have our own individual combination of each. Free expression allows those to be more visible, while binary societies tend to suppress them. E.g. in Russia, men are expected to belch and drink and fight with each other and dominate their wives etc. As with sexuality, there is a gender spectrum. It may well be that the majority of biological males tend to show a predominant expression of masculine traits etc, but this is society dependent, and can be affected by how the society values feminine traits in a male, as per Russia example. In contrast, Jesus of Nazareth exhibited many feminine traits e.g. maternal traits, like forgiveness, nurturing, acceptance, encouragement, empathy, refusal to wage war against the Roman occupiers and so on. These are the traits Christians tend to value in Jesus, without realising the gender implications, and are in contrast to the ancient Jewish interpretation of God as father, angry, vengeful, violent, retributive... It's a complicated thing, and is poorly understood by people like the interviewer, who only seem equipped to compute binary questions and binary answers. The answer to every question has to either be a one or a zero. [/QUOTE]
