Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
That's the ticket. The Moon's gender is culturally defined and is arbitrary.Harshil wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 4:06 am Till now I also consider the moon as female, but just for the knowledge I searched it on the wiki and what I found...there are both types of lunar god available (male/female) according to different religions and mythology...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lunar_deities

Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
There's a problem word.... "soulless". It is equally as problematic as "soul".UlteriorModem wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 1:23 pm It is a soulless barren, cold, barren chunk of rock.... Hrm...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul
The idea of a personal eternal soul substance is, to me incoherent. No one can point to an example.
The idea of a phenomenal person that can play or sing a soulful piece of music is not incoherent. One can point to Billy Holiday.

Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
A soulless, barren, cold...it almost sounds like a human being.
If we remove the word soulless, or soul from our vocabulary here we then have barren and cold...still sounds like a human being.
And as to a "cultural" definition of gender...please...
It is amazingly entertaining how we can have such discussion...a group of old guys argueing the gender of the moon.
I love it.
Thank you Refractordude for this entertaining thread.
Now let me go to wiki and find out what my gender is this week.

Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
There is no denying that the gender of the Moon in different languages and cultures is different. So "YES!" please. Many ideas are culturally defined. Many cultures have more than 2 genders. German and Latin (ancient Roman) have 3. Persian and Hungarian are gender neutral.Don Quixote wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 6:15 pm And as to a "cultural" definition of gender...please...

Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
Now I'm going to read other members' comments. I didn't want to prejudice my response before posting. Heh!
BTW, refusing to allow myself to be bullied by reckless and way over-politicized "new agey" FEELINGS … I've always applied Occam's Razor to the question of biological genders. I think the human genome speaks very loudly about the reality of what constitutes actual biological genders as it relates to the human race. Plus I believe there's only one human race … Homo Sapien - another question which lends itself well to Occam's Razor. However, there are many people, tongues, tribes, and nations which are the real source of never ending conflicts among greater humanity. And I believe the sad reality is is we all have far more in common than we have in differences. Like it's long been said for the last couple of hundred years of western civilization, the devil is in the details … generically speaking, of course, and not making any tangential reference to Halloween! Heh!
Just sayin'.
Hopelessly old school and an ol' "dog",

This has been an entertaining and instructive thread, a highlight of my morning and afternoon under a cloud laden sky.
My comments are along the lines of entertainment as we "argue" over the gender of the moon.
If only we had an icon for "tongue-in-cheek"
Thank you.

Re: Is The Moon Male Or Female?
You'll get the answer at the Brenner pass in the Alps.
North of Brenner, it is the der Mond, pronounce hard in low key
South of Brenner it is the la luna, pronounce soft and melodically
And to pass the Brenner with your car from the masculine Moonshine to the feminine Moonshine, the toll costs 9.50 EUR
Best,
