It sure seems like a trick question, because it seems like you want me to define man and woman in a way that you can say "ha gotcha." Instead, I'm leaving the definition of man and woman to you, and only requiring that you know there is a difference. "AB" doesn't refer to the genital configuration, but it is a required component of the arrangement. Whatever a man is to you, in addition to having a penis, that's "A". Whatever a woman is to you, in addition to having a vagina, that's "B". If you don't see how that's a unique arrangement, then I'm afraid I can't continue to explain it while also assuming your interactions are in good faith.

Alright, so it's not genitals, cool, cool and it's somehow "gender"-based that makes love across genders to be interesting.
Which philosophy of thought do you follow where gender would have an impact? Is this an argument about dominant / submissive? breadwinner / caretaker? Something else?

>Alright, so it's not genitals
I said genitals is "a required component of the arrangement." It's just not the whole thing.

Ah, sorry, I misread that part, then.
Why do genitals matter?

Because it is the only combination that produces life.

Sure; but what does the ability to produce life have to do with love?

Because the production of life in a loving relationship between a man and a woman is the best way to produce life.

"Life" ?
Quantitatively false:
According to the team, there are almost 20 quadrillion ants on Earth right now. That’s a 20 followed by 15 zeroes, which is a number that’s hard to really get your head around.
https://newatlas.com/science/how-many-ants-total-earthIn terms of tonnage and sheer numbers there are many many more ants than humans - clearly their method of producing life "wins".
As a quick heads up, they don't have loving two parent families.

Human life, I thought it was pretty obvious that we were talking about humans, since men and women can't produce ants.
I'm more than confident you don't mean to imply that a child gains benefit specifically because a biological man has an outie and a biological woman has an innie and because innie and outie go together and that that's the "love" that only a man and a woman can have together in that particular "arrangement" and that, again, a child benefits from that.
So, since a child's life isn't impacted by the specific configuration that a penis and vagina can happen to join in, what do you mean?
