People already understand how to deal with virtues without bringing gender into the mix. So why single out a handful of them (among quite a few less virtuous traits) as being gendered instead of just treating them like other virtues? Gender expectations are just a suggestion, it's guiding men towards what they should aspire to be. It's useful because it happens to be the exact things men tend to excel at that they're guided towards. Do away with that and (because those things are challenging) you get subpar men who just don't do it because...why would they? There's no pressure to. We're in an awkward place culturally right now where one extreme tends to want the idea of gendered anything done away with and the other extreme wanting everyone who doesn't fall in line shamed. Keeping the gendering of things that the latter does (as a guide) while offering leeway for edge cases is the best approach going forward imo but like everything politics have poisoned the well and you're either a chud or a cuck now so pick a side or you're even worse -- a centrist <cite>LELuMADuRUSTLED posted [p:975201756] in This past ...
