Lets not act like we are strangers. You've continued to post conflicting ideas in several threads. You believe what you want and I agree with science and history. We can disagree. Is that not enough for you? Did you want to engage in pages of pointless back and forth knowing we will never reach an agreement? Why say cop out?What a cop out answer.I've never said one is better than the other. I've always said the sexes are equal not the same. You have your opinion and I have mine. All I ask is don't put words in my mouth or make assumptions.It's that some believe in progress. Simply because things have always been a certain way in life, doesn't mean that it's the correct way. Women used to not be allowed to own property and vote. What "science" dictated that? And why did it change?It is popular belief on NT that the world hasn't been shaped the way it is for a reason. They don't agree with science and believe in the genetic differences that control our emotional and physical differences. This science isn't true to them. They don't believe in the thousands of years of men being leaders. They don't believe in the hierarchy of men being decided by a combination physical stature, intelligence, and social skills. In their opinions women and men have no roles in life and any combination of people will result in a healthy productive relationship.
What's to believe about thousands of years of men being leaders? Have these men not lead millions upon millions into war and death? Have these men not committed genocide, mass murders, torture, rape, slavery, and other countless atrocities? Or do we only look at the good men when examining our past?
Tell me, using "science", why a man is better suited to be the leader of a country and a woman is less suited. Don't forget to use physical stature and social skills in your explanation. Because as you say, "the hierarchy of men have been decided" by those factors.
The issue has and always will be that rigid adherence to gender roles is a problematic concept. Not only is it based on a societal norm that changes from culture to culture, and evolves over time... but it's simply illogical at times. It's easy as a man to say gender roles are important and things should be a certain way because you're in a position of power. Don't be afraid and believe that men are suddenly marginalized. If you were to switch places with a woman, most people who argue for these archaic gender roles would not feel the same way.
