If I hear feminine energy one more time...

@Rolexeo Sexual dimorphism deals with physical looks and not really anything to do with "strict gender roles" which is mainly a cultural thing. In early evolution, humans were raised in extended families which means that kids were raised in a group structure rather than just one or two individuals. Traditional families came about mainly due to poverty, males wanted to know who to give their land to and what not. It kind of came about as a result of culture and/or circumstances.

@SatanBurger Ik, but it'd logically follow that it extends to personality. Men and women are the same across all cultures, its not a social construct

@Rolexeo I don't really think so, I haven't been to all countries and I've seen multiple people have different sides to them.

@SatanBurger just look at career choicesin any area

@Rolexeo I want to also mention that it is a social construct because people who say there's feminine and masculine energy are like that because there's traditional countries with traditional views but this is still a social construct. In the past people lived in extended families so somewhere on our timeline our views changed towards attributing traits to specifically female and specifically male. People believe in something that doesn't exist yet because they believe in it, they make it true but it's not in reality.

@Rolexeo I've worked in hospitals, there's many male nurses as there are females so....

@Rolexeo I've worked in factories my entire life, there's also equal females as there are males.

@Rolexeo I've worked in housekeeping too and again, my crew was part male and part female. I could go on but you should get the idea by now.

@SatanBurger that's an anecdote....

@Rolexeo It's not anecdotal. Male nursing is on the rise, it's been steadily on the rise for quite some time little by little. Nursing jobs are expected to grow to about 800,000 by 2024 so you can imagine the number will be even higher. Nursing for men was just at 2% but has been steadily growing to about 14% just more than a few years ago, by 2024 it will be even more.

This is the same with women in traditionally male dominating roles, like construction which is also steadily growing for women, albeit slowly but surely. All these jobs are growing and changing.

I want to prove my point here though that the reason women didn't choose those jobs is because of social stigma and not by choice. Isn't it your point that women are natural caregivers of feminine energy rather than social stigma created by culture? But it's this same stigma why women were so behind in entering into science or law.

But all of that is changing, I just wanted to make a point that feminine and masculine traits are socially conditioned by way of social stigma more so than having it be the "natural" choice of jobs because of some inherient trait.

@SatanBurger It's changing cause of sjws, the change is the socially constructed part of it

@Rolexeo Anything that has that much social pressure on women to conform to traditional gender roles isn't natural. If you have to force a narrative and caste negative stereotypes upon women in the workforce to prop up that narrative, it is not natural and largely socially constructed for that reason. No "SJW" (your word not mine,) forces women to be firefighters for example, yet there are a few of them.

Therefore the concept of feminine and masculine polarity is largely socially constructed for the reason above. You have to make up a story in order to prop up a narrative that women have feminine energy and therefore only do stereotypically female things and all males do stereotypically male things. This is a story, it's an invention much like you are writing a book. This view becomes socially accepted, this is a social construct.

@SatanBurger You really aren't seeing the contradictions in what you're saying at all lol.

1."Social constructs" are formed the way they are because of how people already think. You keep using it as if it means random and arbitrary when that's not it at all. You're just denying the genetic component.

2. These social constructs are conveniently consistent across all cultures and throught every time period.

3. Feminism has been on the rise for decades now. And yet the trades and the hard sciences are lacking when it comes to female representation. Why do you think that is?

4. Why aren't women thirsting over short twinks with round faces? Is them being more attracted to traditionally masculine men also a social construct?
