Thank you Andrew, this perspective is critical, especially for men and boys. I think too many are wary of openly looking at this yin and yang. To me it's a foundation pillar of identity,
Well written. There's no doubt the pendulum has swung a long ways from when we were growing up. People's thoughts about how others should think and/or act based on gender or sexual orientation have always amazed me.
Women and men are in it together, along with all the other humans. Are you choosing to ignore all humans that don't fit into these traditional categories? What about intersex people? We are not a binary, like nature there are many variations from the norm.
I agree that we humans have built a huge amount of meaning on top of the categories of female and male. That does not mean it is helpful to continue with these meanings. I agree that we can do better, but it looks like we disagree on how.
Andrew, I think this is a terrific application of philosophical thought to a thorny real world problem.
Spot on.

Hello Andrew, I like the simplicity of your perspective. Life is simple when we recognise the simplicity. Warmly ... John
