that just says theres a problem with traditional gender roles. Sure, doesn't mean theres a problem with the concept of identifying with other men//women.
the problem i have with gender neutralism is its only good if you assume men and women are always the same. From what I read we are both physically and mentally built very differently, and thus should expect to have different proficiencies in different areas. Obviously I don't mean Saudi Arabians shouldn't be able to drive, that's ridiculous.

I think you ment to use the word female and male again. unless your still doing that thing where you insist on sounding uneducated to prove those hippy feminazis they can't get to you. No one said there's a problem with the concept of identifying with other men/women. Are you shifting this debate to bio truths now?

I FINALLY FOUND THE COMIC THAT THIS CONVERSATION REMINDS ME OF

hehehe the first one made me laugh

I'm saying maybe it's okay if men are more pressured into working because maybe (hypothetical, but lets assume some of the gender roles not misplaced) they are happier that way and deal with the stress better. And women maybe deal much better with having a steady job but without the fierce competitiveness while running a family. Again hypothetical, but for example a man can work till he's 30-40 and still have as many kids as he wants while a woman might want kids but the best child bearing age is like between 18-30 and thats a huge commitment so you have to treat them differently.)
I also think people should be taught differently, some people learn better in different ways. Men would be more interested in general, in writing about war and history and such, and women tend to prefer to write about personal experiences. HOWEVER this may be partially or fully based on being raised on gender roles (but its unproven one way or the other)

One shouldn't assume that gender has any bearing upon someone's actions. That allows people to be more equal. That's pretty key.

Why not? If male and female bodies and brains are different, they should act differently, and be happier under different circumstances.

Are you suggesting different school curriculum for children of different sexes seriously? you must be joking. Don't tell me what I do and do not like based only on my gender plz

But extend that. All brains act differently, putting them in the category of male/female to guess at how they'll act is bad.

education is based on guessing how brains will act. studying and guessing on how students will best learn. Everytime someone is hired for a job is based on a guess on how they act based on their qualifications+interview.

But there are specific male/female characteristics. Even physically there are quite a few differences (and I don't just mean the body, but also the neurology).

I think you just can't wrap your head around the fact that your identity can be different than the plumbing you have going on downstairs.
oh good Lord I stepped into this conversation. Anyone have pictures of puppies?

Right. So don't guess based on gender.

Sure, but that doesn't preclude anyone from doing or being anything. Society seems to think that it does and the point is that it doesn't.

Womens and mens brains are pretty different, I remember reading some studies, something to do with grey matter being higher in women for one. I'm sure some other things. The fact that sex only affects physical characteristics is a very naieve view of thing since evolutionary it makes a lot of sense for sexes to act differently. (females look for alpha males, males just look to bang anyone etc)

Outside of like health class to take the edge off of embarrassment (which is a fucking dumb reason) there is literally no reason to do that.

what I said about the way men and women have preferences. I read an article from some (female) teacher having trouble with a male student in a largely female class, starting giving him specific assignments that were more "male-oriented" and he improved a lot. I have it saved on my pc but not here. Was a very interesting read.

As for evolution, I like to think that we, as a society, have moved beyond the "best way to spread my seed" stage of humanity. If we were still banging rocks around a cave, sure I'd be with you, but this is fucking 2013 man.

For little kids particularly, Boys/Girls typically have different maturity curves and need different amounts of activity to actually foster paying attention.
