How are you old man? You and the little lady are once again pond hopping I hear.

You think gender roles are created by temporary social structures generated by actual innate differences then? Does that make the social structures Darwinian?

Hey Juice! Good to hear from you again.

Your response was a bit buzzword-heavy, but of course we're different.

The problem is that people always tend to assume different means inferior. And that is a perennial fallacy of human thought. (See segregation, apartheid, etc.)

Sexism appears when people assume that men and women aren't capable of doing anything more than what they end up doing by default. It's a shamefully easy logical trap to fall into.

I like your previous quotation from your last response. I don't fully agree with it, but it expresses the common man's fear of government-led change quite well.

If you haven't read Robert Greene's "48 Laws of Power", you should.
