[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The gender thing. Take princesses and puppy dog tails out of the equation and gender isn't REALLY a social construct. It is a biological construct. The nurturing nature of women IS something that society drills into us but it is ALSO something we're biologically predisposed to in order to have our children survive. Men's aggressiveness IS something that society drills in but it is ALSO biologically driven as it sets them up to get a woman to agree to mate with him and then to protect her and their mates. To extract these things is to ignore human biology. [/quote] What about women's aggressiveness and men's nurturing? Don't women have to compete for men? Don't men have an interest in having their children survive? We aren't a species where the male contributes sperm and then goes off. We're a species where both parents have to commit to child-rearing over many years in order to have offspring that survive to adulthood and reproduction.[/quote]
