If you're wrongly convicted of a crime, then commit murder in prison, and are exonerated for the original crime, they should have to let you go because you never would have murdered anybody in the first place if they hadn't locked you up.

That would require us as a society to admit that prison turns people into violent criminals and maybe doesn't work so well, and I can already hear a collective gasp from white suburbia on that.

This is an impossible task in the society we have and would require extensive homeschooling, likely producing a sheltered and undeveloped human being. which is abusive.

"In the society we have" is pretty much code for "I like things just the way they are, thanks." Appeal to status quo is dumb. This has also been used to argue against things like gay marriage, interracial marriage, etc. "People won't accept it, so you shouldn't do it." Other people's silly biases shouldn't be an argument against anything.

im saying the second your child is out of your sight they'll be exposed to the idea of gender. it's extremely pervasive. how do you plan on changing all of society before your child's next birthday?

That's completely unnecessary. My kids were exposed to religion but grew up religionless. My kids were exposed to gender but rejected gender roles. My kids were exposed to swearing, drugs, bullying, and all kinds of other bad things they didn't pick up because we were there to explain and support.

Good parents let their kids be exposed to the world in appropriate doses, then give them good information and consistent guidance.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think if you created a society that didn't push any gender norms, and didn't even has any subtle gender expectations, then 95% of people would still act the same way they act now generwise.

I wonder what would happen if lesser animals could sense just how hosed up we are as a race. I suspect they would wipe us out. Or die laughing.

We are slightly higher evolved than monkeys. No wonder they rip our limbs/faces off.

I assume there's a department of oppression somewhere and a guy named Norm gets to decide who is a boy and who is a girl.

e: if not, then that's a p big oversight.

A lot of them come from culture. But biology plays a big part in average behavioral differences between men and women. Of course, it's incredibly hard to tell how much is cultural and how much biological.

I think it is okay and nothing to be ashamed of if you align and/or identify with the normal cultural expectations of your gender or sex, and also okay if you don't.

Gender norms come from men being objectively better at killing with sticks and rocks than women.

I'd have to say Mickey's is better because the shape and texture of the barrel shaped bottle is more pleasing and ergonomically friendly to consuming mass quantities due to the wide mouth opening. The OE is par for the course at best swill that you choke on when guzzling.
