Aristotle’s definition of male and female remains to this day the only one that actually makes sense and refers to an irreducible difference that admits of no real exceptions:
“the active capacity to impregnate (male), and the passive capacity to be impregnated (female)”
any exceptions to this are a result of one or the other capacity being incidentally impeded in some way, not some ontological third option
even chromosomal disorders presuppose the prior existence of one or the other capacity
the development of distinct reproductive organs, secondary characteristics, gender roles, etc, all naturally flow from the concrete, irreducible existence of either capacity in a human person
at the heart of this definition is the commonsensical intuition of “action follows being”, that is, we know the natures of things by virtue of teleological ends a given nature uniquely possesses by virtue of its form

regarding the principle of individuation, in my view it makes more sense to see matter as the principle whereby the form is individuated, but the act of existence is the principle whereby the whole substance of a thing is considered individual
in other words, designated matter is the principle or means whereby the form of a thing is to be instantiated and multiplied, but the act of existence is what actuates the entire essence of a thing, making it to be an individual existent and therefore is what enables the matter to be designated in the first place

winding the clock back to the moral norms of 1973 is a start, but we still have a ways to go to get back to the moral norms of 1273

Donald Trump will go down in history as the President that ended Roe vs Wade.

as disappointing as trump’s justices can be at times, desantis likely would have picked far worse ones, and they would not have overturned roe
👍181👎3🔥3
also trump initially wanted to punish women who get abortions
desantis would have never even dreamed of thinking that
