If I ask you "what is the sound of one hand?", I have given you a mind object, a thought of a thing with no physical reality. Perhaps the same can be said of asking what does it feel like to be a man or woman? Does it actually feel like anything or is it just a mind object from the question? If you assume a feeling for the mind object, it isn't a sensory feeling, but an emotional one. Emotions are real (and they are mind objects), we all have them. Here I suppose the Buddhist could ask, what do I do with this feeling? Does it have a basis? Is it beneficial to give it importance in our minds?
