Re: Society's views on Sex
You know, I don't remember what triggered this, but I do have some thoughts.
Predetermining Gender roles is bad. Sure, men are biologically predisposed to gaining muscle mass, but that doesn't mean that they have to use it.
I'll give you an interesting case of sexual discrimination that's not going to hurt anyone in the telling:
I was walking to my apartment yesterday when a group of kids were playing. A young girl entered the area, crying. The first sympathetic soul on the site was a boy, who was solicitous and concerned, and it seemed completely genuine to me.
Suddenly, seven girls turned and cast the boy aside, specifically stating that he "couldn't care" because of his gender. That may be specific to the environment I live in (International housing on a college campus) which does have some highly patriarchal societies and, thus, attitudes, but damn.
