Today has been a men and women have different roles day. So the attached Facebook post was cathartic for me:

Or their “roles” in society.
There is so much variety of individuals why do we hear “men and women have different roles” so much?

Why can’t we hear “different individuals have different roles based on their personalities and experience and we should try to give all individuals all useful skills and virtues and opportunities regardless of sex or gender so everyone can choose their best path for themselves as an individual”
(It’s probably because people are lazy and that takes too long to say. 😛)

Yeah, that’s a mouthful. Everyone is allowed to be a complex individual

We were made to live in small social groups where everyone was known to all as an individual, in the modern world that does not work any longer, so people try to cope either the hard way by treating everyone fairly until they get to know them, or if we are lazy we try to fit them into groups as a short cut. That is encouraged by religious and political institutions, because lazy is a weakness that stops us asking questions and therefore makes it easy to exploit people.

"Some parents believe that the shape of a baby's genitals predicts their favorite toys, hobbies & colors." That's hysterical. It's odd to me to hear people still talk about men & women having different roles--time seems to have been running backwards for several years now....
