I just had a metaphorical argument with my philosophy prof about polyamory.
He equated it to quantity over quality and so the argument is that the polyamorous lover would rather eat 12 hot dogs for dinner rather than a well cooked steak dinner.
I think this was the first time he's had a student ask "But you're still goign to get tired of eating steak dinner every night. What if you could have steak dinner some nights, chicken cordon bleu on other nights and a good glazed ham on others. You would appreciate the other meals more when you had them wouldn't you?"
To which he replied "That's not what the author is saying"
I'm really sick of him using that answer rather than arguing a line of logic.

Like in the debate I am currently having, which I have every so often with people on this board, about genetics, biology and evolution in regards to homosexuality. The person keeps retreating to this silly argument that biology and evolution has this set plan as his argument that homosexuality isn't natural in any way. Quite annoying.

Why?
He can't honestly figure out why there aren't more trans people because the mechanism that determines sex is so flawed that failure in any one of three stages will produce a "confused state" of a mixture of biologically male and female bits and parts.
