Big Smoke. A lot of things you are saying just don't make sense. You said that due to psychological differences, there are certain things that men and women just can't do. The issue with that statement is the mentality (that MANY people have) that each gender has a singular psychological presence. That's a similar way of thinking to people who don't understand the concept of trans. The evidence we have to debunk that is simple. Not all men are interested in sports & fighting, like all women aren't all interested in shopping and beauty. I won't address the comment about physical differences because that's just plain ridiculous. As KB already said, the only REAL major difference is menstruation and child birth. Like that really just doesn't make sense.
hope it doesn't seem like i'm attacking! just conversing! |
Thanks for your response. I'm open to all opinions as long as it doesnt end in "Well he's a power bottom in the claahhset" lol.
Firstly I didnt say can't do, I said can't do
well. That's the differentiation here. Anybody can do anything they want. But if the pattern is that a lot of people arent really doing too well in a particular field, then thats where the constructs come from, and its not even just for genders you can apply it other scenarios as well, e.g. If a construction company owner realizes that a lot of the persons he hires that arent doing the job right are smokers, he's gonna stop hiring people who smoke. If there's a woman that can play ball as good as Kobe, I'm all for it. But its not gonna happen anytime soon, because women are built differently. Remember the whole Lauren Silberman thing a few years back?
And how is my argument about physical difference ridiculous? Like its plain to see. Men most of the time are more physically capable than women. Like thats not even debatable. Unless theyre like Brittany Griner or something.
And that actually brings me to another point:
People are going about this gender equality thing wrong as hell lol. Why must we include something JUST because theyre gay/female/etc. and not whether they can even do whats required (e.g. Jason Collins/Danica Patrick - a lot of sports references lol)
) be extremely defensive of gender roles, as if their sexual orientation doesn't stray as far as possible from gender roles & stereotypes as possible. When you are born as a male, you're supposed to grow up, marry a woman, have kids & do all of that. Not mess around with other boys. Like you can't scream for gender roles, and then go open up Grindr. It's kills me when gays decide to pick and choose which gender stereotypes they'd like everyone to conform too.
