Is society becoming more unisex?

Post Reply New Topic

With the feminist movement that started in the 70's freeing women from social expectations and roles, the lgbt movement gaining major ground in recent years as well as it becoming more acceptable for males to engage in feminine behaviors and activities, is the social norms of the past fading away and giving way to a more unisex society, where a person isn't judged by their biological plumbing, but by how they express their gender identity?

I personally think the traditional viewpoint of gender is being done away with, and I'm happy with the trend. What do you think?

Society has become this way, through bypassing marrital integration in the u.k and of course genderism as a whole has become liberated under the new same sex marriages act which was voted for in parliament recently.

Am hoping so.

if the new 'trend' was the accelerator pedal of car, I wish there was some way to put the 'pedal to the metal'.

I really can't stand the binary gender system. It does nothing but give rise to machismo chauvinism, homophobia, transphobia and bigotry. The sooner it goes, the better.

It's heading that way, but too slowly for my liking.

Not really. The crappers are still separated by gender.

No, there are unisex bathrooms.

Hopefully, but not quickly enough. Society is still prejudiced as f**k.

Yes, most definitely. It is an ongoing western culture dominated phenomenon that can be empirically measured.

We can thank Margaret Saenger, in part, for the Pill, as one of the most influential individuals in the 20th Century, that made this possible.

The rise of "David Bowie", "Boy George" and others in the 70's and 80's also led a cultural revolution of greater acceptance of androgyny.

However, a more interesting phenomenon is happening in some countries, like Japan where young people are losing interest in physical relationships with others, all together.

South Korea, which was once dominated by a machismo culture, is now a world leader in male cosmetics.

It appears that when there are population pressures and limits to high protein diets, a result can be lower limits of sexual dimorphism. One sees that in India, where population pressures are among the highest.

The Pill, technology, and other modern factors puts a new spin on what may result in the future, if Japan is any indication.

China's cultural revolution came the closest to eliminating sexual dimorphism.




Now, Chairman Mao must be turning over in his grave.
