Gengwall, I hear what you’re saying too, and as any egal will point out, we certainly do appreciate the differences between male and female. 🙂 And I will also only make this one more post about it here.

But beyond the physical, we are in a realm of tradition and personality and group behavior. The traits a particular person might find attractive in the opposite sex may differ significantly from someone else’s opinion. For example, not all women are attracted to men who are into trucks, camping, fishing, etc. and not all men are into those things either. Likewise, not all men are attracted to women who are empty-headed or into high fashion, and not all women are into those things either.

When asked where the mysterious line between male and female is drawn, you will get a hundred different answers. And if you ask that question across cultures you will get a thousand more. The point being, a trait cannot be labeled as intrinsic to a gender unless there are no exceptions ever, in any culture or time in history.

We’re all human, and humans have a wide range of personalities and experiences. The day male supremacism grasps that simple fact is the day they cease being supremacists.
