Gender Roles: Even More Spin-Off

[Crazed Rabbit]

I feel really sorry for the boy that turns out the way they described them in PJ's article, it's not fair to them to let them get like that.

What do you mean? Not fair they are less sexually assertive – and therefore more proper in terms of not having sex as often?

Traditional gender roles are there because they are the most natural and thus the best suited for each gender.

They’re the most natural? Based on what? - roles have changed over time, and are different now throughout the planet. Does what is ‘natural’ change? If so, how can what is natural now be any better than what was natural before? And what country/region/culture should be used as the basis for ‘natural’?

It seems likely to me traditional roles are the result of culture where the child is raised. Is the traditional role of women in Saudi Arabia more natural than the role of women in the USA?

Why would traditional gender roles be the best anyway? Human history is a litany of ignorance of science, cultures, math, astronomy, engineering, anatomy, psychology, etc. The traditions of the past were based on foundations of ignorance; what besides being around first gives them credence?

I'm skeptical, especially when they found the impact on girls raised by lesbians was the opposite of what would considered to be making them "well bred".

Well bred used to mean women only spoke when spoken to and weren’t supposed to go to college. It seems rather that your issue is the children raised by gay couples are less likely to conform to what you view as the proper role and personality for men and women in society.
