[quote]My point flew right over your head, although I'm not surprised given your absurd thesis. Hunting is just one example (a great one that factors in most variables) as to why gender roles even exist and why they exist. Of course there will be some women that are stronger than men, but considering males have testosterone (which is a hormone that contributes to muslce growth and endurance since you probably don't know) means there will be very few women that are stronger than men. Also, the fact that you think stocking shelves is labourious just basically confirmed you're a little kid who doesn't understand how the world operates. There is food production/farming, labor in the shipping industry, mining, metal production and forgin, assembly of mechanical parts, construction/civil engineering, etc. and these are just the foundation jobs of our economy. There's a reason these jobs are dominated by men. Don't worry, I'll wait while you look that up. Also, gender roles in material things have been determined by brain chemistry as well. There was a study in which small chidren of both sexes were asked to choose a toy car or a doll, and guess what happened? The female chose the doll and the male chose the car. Of course there are some roles concieved by socioty alone, but the majority of these actually have a biological and pscyhological foundation to them.[/quote] This is pretty much all that needed to be said in this thread. I don't think OP knows what he's talking about.
