The biological nature of humans, removing all social constructs is to survive and reproduce. No marriage, no gender roles, no religion, no nothing. Find food to eat, stay away from predators, reproduce and die. I don’t know what is to romanticize there. Both sexes at the most primitive level are just there to reproduce as much as they can before they die. But our minds clearly have evolved past that. It is why people can override nature. It is why there are different takes on how to regulate reproduction (marriage, all the forms it takes around the world). It is why people can never have kids and that not have a negative impact on their psyche. The societies we live in currently are proof that people have overridden whatever is “natural.” I don’t see how “gender fluidity” is contradictory with the (mostly) sexual dimorphism of humans considering gender roles are not inherent in humans.
Lol why wait 9 months for that, maybe if technology is so great we can get sperms poopin out babies lol, no need to have sex or put women through 9 months of torture lol.
It can easily reach the middle class too as soon as China gets hold of it. Only the poor will be left, just like they’re left behind without basic necessities like food, clean water and shelter.
Gender differences are inherent, men can’t give birth or produce milk. That’s one of MANY inherent differences and no people without kids aren’t any happier. Humans are supposed to mate and produce off springs, most people aren’t happy on their own, none of your new age bs is going to change that.
The 9 months I referred to were in the machine btw, not a woman. So no torture involved. The women will be figure conscious and too busy to carry a baby. But it’ll still take a few months for the baby to develop.
SEX differences (ovaries, breasts in women and testes in men) are inherent. Gender is constructed through societies. Gender is “females like pink and males like blue/females like dollies and males like toy trucks.” This is a simple ass concept, child. I do not see how every single individual without kids is miserable. Considering how far societies have developed, some people do not want to rear children because of the economic disadvantages of it. Some women do not want to go through the trauma of pregnancy and/or do not have it in them to be maternal at the same time some men do not get paternal feelings. Humans are “supposed” to do a lot things but clearly that **** can be overridden.
Not all roles. That is why I used the word ‘most’. Most roles were made by the society we live in. Even now, with all the shift, women are being put into roles. We simply don’t see it. For example, Working women were looked down at by society before and now non working women are looked down at.
Religion never told women can or can’t work. Religion never said a woman HAS to cook. A woman can even choose not to breastfeed and isn’t considered wrong by religion.
Even though I may have come across as being ‘pro’ it, I’m really not.
I’m a bit conservative. I’m not into the equality nonsense either. I don’t believe I have to go do everything a man does in order to feel like an equal. I am not a man and will never wish to be one. I have my own strengths and weaknesses . I work on mine. What bothers me are the roles culture and society put upon me.
The reason I used ‘I’ in this post is because I don’t represent other women and am only talking about myself.
You responded to the wrong user with the spiel. Also, I don’t see why you even bother justifying yourself to that child because trying to talk even a little sense will get you called a feminazi/man hater or whatever the hell.
Nah. He’s a fine user. I wasn’t talking sense into him either. It was just a discussion. I don’t disagree nor agree with everything he said. I don’t mind being called a feminazi or a man hater either. I know whether I am one or not.
PS: Its better to discuss the point of view rather than the user having that particular point of view.
I’d hate to sound overly pedantic and condescending, but a person’s views and opinions on topics are a pretty good reflection of who they are as a person.
I think one should marry when they are ready to, not when others think they should.
Up till the age of 26, I didn’t want to even think about marriage. After that, I started thinking about marriage. Now, I am ready to get married.
Marriages now aren’t harder than our parents. Every era has its own set of problems. Our problems are not the same as our parents’ problems, but it’s neither better than them nor worse.
I think, on an average, relationships won’t be long lasting. We live in an era where we replace old stuff with the new, if we can afford to, even though the old stuff was perfectly fine. Similarly, we feel our relationships are replaceable and I am the most important, not the relationship. People are moving away from commitment. We already see a rise in ‘open relationships’.
Commitment used to be seen as an anchor previously, but is beginning to feel like a burden to people. It’s still in the early stages though.
Yes, a point of view is the reflection of who a person is right now. I may disagree with your point of view on one topic, yet agree with it on another topic. Disagreement doesn’t give me the license to put you down. Discussions are about getting your point of view across and not proving the other person is wrong. Debates are for the latter.
