Freya Tingley Instagram – Traditional gender roles have become incredibly antiquated. Historically speaking, in the times of hunters and gatherers, it was reasonable to assume that men (being they are physically stronger) would take on the more physically arduous roles.
However, jump forward 10,000 years to a machine society which has greatly alleviated the necessity for physical strength in those areas that previously relied upon such a quality, we now find the traditional dichotomy of gender roles redundant.
Mentally women and men have the exact same potential, being that beyond their bodies, they are spiritual beings. This means women and men are on an equal footing regarding such things as IQ, aptitude and personality tests: Gender doesn’t discriminate in areas of psychometry. With that in mind, if we were to maintain traditional gender roles we would find that we are completely depriving society and mankind at large of the potential for extremely powerful and able women to take on positions that could leave behind a positive and impactful footprint.
It seems to be that some men, perhaps of an older generation or from smaller cities, are not in favor of the idea of a woman who is smarter or more assertive as this intimidates them and makes them feel wrong and so seek to control by adhering to the convention of traditional gender roles. One finds that men without such egos and who don’t feel emasculated at the idea of looking up to a woman are the ones that truly value, respect and more importantly push power to women. However, if powerful women allowed themselves to be suppressed by the idea of traditional gender roles, society would be robbed of many a brilliant mind!
Lastly, men are only half of mankind the other half being women! This means that pushing the power of the few of high enough caliber to create impactful change of only 50% of mankind is not utilising mankind to the greatest good. Woman and man have equal potential in all areas of faculty and should be viewed and treated as such! ! In view of this and that physical strength is no longer a predominantly necessary factor in survival, the traditional convention of gender roles is prehistoric. | Posted on 23/Sep/2020 18:56:56
