RE: The Ineffective verbal jousters of STEEM
i actually wrote on this subject a while back, indirectly.
culturally, we view passionate declarations in a funny way. in business, passion is a no-no, but in religion or politics, passion in an argument is seen by many people as honest. this subconscious judgment is often used by people in power to sway voters/converts who arent thinking logically. they arent "awoke" to the social programming.
women are historically discounted for passionate arguments because of this bias, labeled as "hysterical" or "moody". labeling is used in public to counter effect, to deliver a message that discounts the argument. even if an argument is totally valid and logical, delivering it in a passionate voice is seen as a fault, that the argument could not ever be logical because passion is overt. when women and even men are dispassionate, that counts against them too, because then they are seen as "cold fish".
can we be passionate and logical at the same time? there is nothing to preclude it, other than other peoples judgment and labels.
I think I am sensible if also overly emotional and setimental
EXACTLY! its about time women stop being judged by society when they are conditioned by that same society to exhibit emotional reactions.
If you don't discount Myers Briggs personality types, there is an argument against the combination of passion and logic. The logical types tend to be less emotional, and if this is an accurate classification of behavioral type, it may be where the idea of passion and logic being mutually exclusive originates.
which explains why INTPs are fucked...
Are you an INTP @torico? 😃
yes sorta. i measure about equal between thinking and feeling so i jump the line...
We're twins! Though I don't test for feeling at all. Probably explains a lot. 😂
