Culturally induced (nurture)...
Ankesh...
Here's a cultural difference between your country + mine... http://www.indax.com/toilets.html Your custom + my custom are both culturally induced (the result of nurture). No amount of 'control' would result in my culture adopting your custom(s). If it evolves that way 'on its own,' then yes. But if it doesn't, then no. Same with my culture's view of women's body shape, for instance. As I said, Julia Roberts could never have starred in a movie titled "Pretty Woman" if she weighed (even) 10 lbs more than she did. How about these terms... "Trophy Wife" "Hottie" These terms mean something VERY, VERY specific to white American males. Yes, there may be SLIGHT variations -- but let's put it this way: Those terms certainly do not bring to mind the total *diversity* of shapes that a woman can be. The so-called vital stats (actual measurements of bust, waist and hips) and overall 'look' of any woman that could be described in those terms (trophy wife and/or hottie) are within a very small, narrow margin. Everyone instantly knows (VISUALLY) what is meant by those terms. Culturally induced? -- yes. 'Controllable?' -- no. So, it really makes no difference if men are as they are because of nature or nurture, in terms of what can be done about it. It is what it is. -- TW PS: My country even has cultural variations among races (in general). It's not PC to make blanket statements about 'cultures' based on race, etc. But they sure do exist in reality. I believe that (IN GENERAL) blacks in the US have a different 'ideal' body shape for women, in terms of sexual attractiveness to men in that culture. The 'thick' quotient tends to be higher, for one thing. Last edited by -TW : July 27, 2009 at 03:47 AM. |
