Is society becoming more unisex?

I dont think it will ever be like that. For me its like shoe sizes. So most women have shoe sizes between 37-40, while most men have shoe sizes around 41-45. Thats ok and there is nothing bad about it.

But about 25% of people have shoe sizes, that are below or above the average shoesize of their sex. So there are some women with shoe sizes of 43 and there are some men with shoe sizes of 38.

So for me its less about that everyone, male or female, shall now where the androgynous shoe size of 40-41, "so that we are all equal", buts its simply about accepting that there are some males that dont fit in their sexes averages shoesize, and there are some women that dont fit in their sexes averages shoesize too. And thats pretty normal, and these people simply should be allowed to wear the shoe size they actually have, instead of getting forced to wear their average sexes shoe size, "because the other 75% male/females also do so and this is normal". ^^

So for example I feel myself deeply disturbed when people talk about "male or female brains". According to my tests, my brain has balls as big as a basketball and a 8 meter long beard if it was a male brain. -.- We simply have a brain, and most womens brain tend to evolve in a specific directions, and most mens brain tend to evolve in specific pattern, and I have no problem with that. But that doesnt make a brain male or female. Still according to that I have a brain, that fits a pattern which is rather rare for women and is found more often at men. And there is also nothing unusual about that, because there always had been some men with a brain pattern that is untypical for their sex, and women that have rather untypical brain patterns too. Because of that you are not less or more female or male, as you are not less or more female or male because of your shoe size. You simply may have some deeds or characterics, that doesnt fit to the average women or men.

If you feel yourself as "men" none of these persons would be helped, if you forced yourself to become androgynous. So it would not change anything for me, if you denied the deeds you know have, to act like an androgynous person you dont are. So from my opinion you dont have to quit. Simply dont expect me to tell you cooking recipes, and dont cry when I splatter your ass in Battlefield. ^^ Thats enough.

Edit: Shortened it a bit.

I agree. My argument is against the people who argue that those who follow the traditional definition of masculine and feminine are brutes or anti-feminist. People should be free to be true to themselves. And I have frequently found myself arguing with people based on that idea that all women have to push against the glass ceiling by virtue of simply being women. It's like this article I read in Newsweek, where someone was criticizing Sally Ride for not being more publicly gay, so she was somehow shirking her duty.

Yes, this exactly.

I will admit that I can be sensitive about this topic because I don't want children and don't fit well with the average "female shoe," both metaphorical and literal. They make them too narrow. =\

No. Slavery also depressed wages.

Moving manufacturing jobs out of the country did depress the wages of American factory workers. Probably not as much as the increased use of technology (robots, computers, etc.). But, on the plus side, if televisions were still produced in the USA, then they would be much less affordable.

Poor black people were often hired as strikebreakers during the era of labor union organizing. This contributed to a lot of working class racism, scapegoating blacks for lowering wages much like you are scapegoating working women. Funny how nothing seems to make the slightest dent in executive wages.

So would I. But that has nothing to do with equality.

Yes it does.

That also depressed wages.

Please explain. Sounds more to do with novelty/randiness.

Sounds like golden showers are a bit of an interest here.

However, 'Battle Feminists' are always good to have when you play 'Sex Wars: The Official Card Game' and they make a good class to play as in the RPG, too.

If I have to pee bad enough I'll go into the men's room.No man has ever complained.But I don't know if the ladies feel the same.I don't care,if you gotta go then go!! !

Have you ever tried to pee standing up? That would be a memorable sight.

I'm not saying that women in the workforce are necessarily bad, nor that depressed wages are necessarily bad. Only that there are tradeoffs, and the results are not always as rosy as one would like.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a man who is financially capable of supporting a wife and her brood. With women pretty much coming to dominate the workforce, union membership is at an all time low, and unions are being incessantly undermined, even in Michigan.

A single-earner household has become much less of an option.

You see a lot of Americans working so hard, knocking themselves out, basically for nothing.

Of course the rich are going to become richer. There isn't anything that anyone can do about it. The rich own the cable news channels, and control what passes for public discourse in this God-forsaken country. I don't see that turning around.

Considering that most of these supposed trade offs have a lot more to do with a kleptocratic economic and political system than with equal rights for women, I still can't really agree. As someone who does not want a life revolving around taking care of a "brood", having more rights, options, and choices has been quite positive.
