   Far from it, it is a call for true fairness, fairness to both sexes, fairness   
   that provides for the greatest fulfillment of each individual life.

   Yes, there is considerable overlap in our abilities, in our emotions, and in   
   our intellects. There are also, however, many good and natural differences.

   anachronistic mindset that women belonged only in the kitchen, but over the

   particular careers. Perhaps as a    
   holdover from many thousands of years, the male brain remains more oriented   
   toward physical endeavors, women more toward the emotional skills needed for   
   caretaking, especially of children. While there is overlap, the result is that   
   men tend to dominate    
   in fields such as engineering, while women do so in nursing. There are   
   important statistical variances, but by and large, the “sexual

   i am the first to admit the left has internal contradictions. these problems   
   come from a being a controlled opposition that collaborates with the police   
   state/military industrial complex. the lefts problems dont translate to   
   traditional gender social    
   roles being rightly guided. . .  the lefts problems are issues of dysfunction   
   and good cop bad cop with the right. there is nothing to salvage of the right   
   wings love of gender roles. i think the real issues are unjust wealth and   
   proxy war. being    
   reactionary to identity politics is what the system is suggesting as a   
   substitute for real progress. the issue of boys who like to be called girls   
   and play on girls sports teams just does not matter compared to refugee crisis   
   of proxy war, global famine    
   of capitalism and criminal occupation of colonialism. there are real issues   
   that matter.
