Some SC talk about gender roles and gender expectations in this thread: Horrifying monstrosity from the depths of the under dark

(Yeah, wouldn't be able to tell from the title haha)

Gender roles and gender are two different things. I see gender as binary and gender roles a social construct with some link to biology. There is a biological basis for some of the stereotypical differences between men and women. Physical differences such as strength and the ability to have a baby impact how people relate to the world. And hormones obviously drive behaviour - in nature, regardless of species, a mother and her cub/offspring, are considered the most dangerous animals to encounter. 

Gender roles are less pronounced today (in N. America) and have evolved a lot. I think this is good as it removes expectations and allows people to embrace and be who they are. I think men are struggling the most with changing gender roles right now. 

I get along with both genders equally but I derive different benefits from each. 

Gender roles was the first step in having a specialized skillset. It came with bigger settlements and growing crops/animal husbandry. Since there were no schools, split of tasks had to be based on something, and gender was chosen as the divider. What we see today is a relic from those days. Hunter-gatherers are believed to have about the same skillset as each other because you simply needed it to survive. So there were no women huddling in caves waiting for their men coming back with food. The divide we see in today's hunter-gatherers seem to be more about age, children and the elderly do not hunt, they are just collectors while both young men and women hunt.

Some people believe also there is brain gender as well. It might be true as an average in different groups but also there is a huge overlap between genders. The most evident difference probably mostly innate, is direction and way of aggression where males typically have an outward sense of aggression and more physical violence. Spatial sense is seen as the second biggest difference, but that hasn't been proven to 100 % being different between males and females. Since our bodies differ it wouldn't be a big step saying our brains do as well. But just as well as a girl can have a male looking body, a man can have a more female brain. Thinking of the brain as identical between genders is the same kind of silly that made Freudians think children are a blank slate at birth. Of course natural skills can be strengthened and weakened depending on nurtured, but that is almost not noteworthy. That there is brain gender at all without a dividing society is seen in hunter cultures. There has been a study of successful hunting trips among tribes with different ideas of hunting and different demography. The most successful hunting teams are mixed, when men and women hunt together they do it better than when men hunt alone. Men alone hunt better than women alone. You could say this is because of body strength and speed. But there was no brain difference women would not contribute when hunting with men. But since they do, you can draw the conclusion they have a difference in their brains that work to the team's advantage.

As for gender identity, I would say it is something you are born with. And there there is people feeling male or female to extremes, some who feel it less, those who are inbetween, those who are agender and those who are trans. That part is basically set in stone I think, unless someone is very dissociative, then sense of gender can actually change in that person.

Frankly, gender rarely concerns me whatsoever.  I understand how biology and society functions, their roles, and all the baggage that can be attached with it, and simply don't want to bother.

I agree with most. I'm not sure men have it harder I have never been a man. I would like to think we suffer in different ways.

Na.

I'd say natures presentation of gender is more profound than what the ego displays.

Your voice is a female one, and that voice would be the same if you were born in another environment with different people, tastes, preferences and experiences that make the ego itself. How we act, or how we're expected to act will never determine our gender. Transgenderism is just a term, while in an autopsy, the observer will determine the human specimen's gender on natures terms.

The world can say Bruce Jenner is a woman, but seriously we'd be deluding ourselves with ignorance and make belief.

When I see Blanch, I think that's one of those Bieber boys, And I'd totally think she's a dude. But if nature produced Blanch as a female, then she'll be a female no matter how tomboy she is. ( Physically Blanch looks like a boy to me, down to the composure ) Some women have that build, flat chest, no curves, but they still have other feminine attributes (except for Blanch).

Women are intended to be caregivers. This is the case among all mammals. It would be dangerous for an infant to have to wait till Mother came home to be fed. Women produce the milk for our children. ( Drinking cows milk is also unnatural. We consume it because others make money off of it, the cows milk is cancerous and was meant to turn caffs into 800lb bulls. )

First wave, feminism was founded by the world bank. Rothschild. Now more people pay tax than ever, and the rich get richer. More and more people are single, a vast amount of women want to focus on their career and have children later, or never. The world is being formed so people will look to the government before they do family, because traditional family is on it's way out.

I think career based women are miserable people.

I'm generally for what Terence McKenna has suggested.  "One woman, one child" is what the mushroom told him.  (He also advocated an arrangement that best fits is three women to one man.)  It's the children in 1st world countries that drain the resources.  Of course, those in the lesser developed countries (where the smack down against contraception seems to take place) suffer for overpopulation more visibly because they live in the midst of their ecological impact.

I know this isn't about overpopulation, per se...  But perhaps a redistribution of the demographics.

imo it's a problem if african families are having 7 children on average and american families are having 2 children on average
