GENDER

Gender is a subclass within a grammatical class (such as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (such as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical forms.

Two gender paradoxes exist:

Gender paradox: Women conform more closely than men to socio-linguistics norms that are overtly prescribed, but conform less than men when they are not.

Gender-equality paradox: Countries which promote gender equality tend to have less gender balance in some fields.

LIAR-LIAR: The Physician Paradox?

Posted on April 23, 2025 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

***

***

Classic Definition: Suppose someone tells you “I am lying.” If what he/she tells you is true, then he/she is lying, in which case what he/she tells you are false. On the other hand, if what he/she tells you is false, then he/she is not lying, in which case what he/she tells you is true.

Modern Circumstance: In short: if “I am lying” is true then it is false, and if it is false then it is true. 

Paradox Example: The paradox arises for any sentence that says or implies of itself that it is false (the simplest example being “This sentence is false”). It is attributed to the ancient Greek seer Epimenides (fl. c. 6th century BCE), an inhabitant of Crete, who famously declared that “All Cretans are liars” (consider what follows if the declaration is true). The paradox is important in part because it creates severe difficulties for logically rigorous theories of truth; it was not adequately addressed (which is not to say solved) until the 20th century.

Paradox Example: Doctors lie because, as caretakers, our role is to improve the lives of their patients. Re-assuring patients during some of the most difficult times of their lives counts as improving their well being! This is an acceptable practice because it does not cause harm.

Paradox Example: Cultural differences may make a lie of omission or the practice of withholding information from the patient, prudent. For instance, some cultures and religions dictate that the husband or head male family members make all medical decisions for women.

Paradox Example: Many physicians don’t report “near misses” to their patients. But, concealing serious medical errors is something we recommend against.

SEX: Bereavement Style

Posted on April 20, 2025 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

According to colleague Dan Ariely PhD, Bereavement Sex is one of those coping mechanisms that sounds strange but makes sense when you think about it. In the face of loss, our brains crave connection and comfort.

Engaging in sex after a significant loss can be a way to feel alive and regain a sense of control. It’s a testament to our complex emotional wiring, where grief and intimacy intertwine.

Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/201911/myths-and-the-truth-about-sex-after-grieving?msockid=2d99b4712dfb6dde0d66a1522c226c4e

So, while it might seem odd, it’s just another way our brains handle the roller coaster of emotions.

WORLD: Sexual Health Day

Posted on September 4, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

***

Today is World Sexual Health Day, and according to the World Health Organization, “good sexual health is fundamental to the overall health and well-being of individuals, couples, and families.”

This year’s theme is all about forming positive relationships, so consider taking some time today to reflect on yours (and maybe tell someone what they mean to you).

***

Sexual Rights as Human Rights

One of the main aims of WSHD is to help people around the world recognize that sexual rights are basic human rights, and they are essential for peoples’ well-being and for living a fulfilled life. The day fosters a positive perspective on sexuality, one that is respectful of everyone’s sexual identity, irrespective of where they see themselves on the human sexuality spectrum. The spectrum is a continuous scale that goes beyond conventional gender binaries and suggests that sexuality is a fluid concept – one that can change over time and space.

Talking About It

Sexuality is an integral part of an individual’s life and identity. Despite this, sexuality and sexual health are often considered taboo subjects. World Sexual Health Day attempts to change this by engaging youth, adults, educators, sexual health practitioners, nonprofit organizations, and government policy-makers in an open and earnest conversation about sex, sexuality, and sexual health.

The day also encourages parents, teachers, guardians, and pediatricians to provide children and youth under their care with age-appropriate and scientifically accurate sex education. Comprehensive sexuality education can help young people and, eventually, adults, to be more sex-positive – the notion that all sex is good as long as it involves consenting participants and does not compromise their health. In addition, sex education promotes safe sex, which is one of the bedrocks of sexual health. It also helps make consent an integral part of all sexual encounters.

What Happens on World Sexual Health Day?

World Sexual Health Day is not an official holiday so businesses, schools, and government offices are open. Sexual health groups and educators organize outreach drives, conferences, and workshops to bring attention to the importance of sexual health in maintaining a happy and fulfilling lifestyle.
