Inspired by various threads, not expecting consensus but trying to understand what we think the world would look like if feminsit equality was reached. A world where physical differences were respected and understood but did not lead to assumptions on cognitive capability.

So some specific questions>
Would we still have boys names and girls names?

Would sex differences remain in clothing and make up?
Would hormones ( testosterone and pregnancy hormones) mean that men ( on average) still tended towards hazardous roles and women towards caring roles?
Would period pain be a thing of the past?
Would senior management still be dominated by aggressive risk takers?
What changes ensure that women don’t lose careers if they lose a couple of months having babies?

You're a man, aren't you? Surely only a man could reduce the totally life-changing physical and emotional impact of having and raising a child to losing a couple of months off work.

I know, right!

I mean 'couple of months off work'. Cheesus.

Sounds like a college or uni project to me.

SO I asked because I don’t know

Why not pop off and do your own research, come up with your own conclusions and then repost?

Women - doing all your research for you - yet again - NO!

Ok then. I don’t know how much biology will mean that we advertise our sex through our names and clothing.

I do think that period pain and other female health issues would be better resolved.

I do think that men will dominate the top of business and society because I do think they seem more likely to have the mental abnormalities that make them successful, but it might be that they okay we just socialise those out of girls

Why don’t you tell us how you’d respond first?

MIdgebabe · 01/03/2019 07:54

Book? I don’t think so.

So making it real for you, how would you respond to being told that feminism was complete and all remaining differences are just down to biology?

Not sure about feminist end game, but I live in reality so I’ll leave you to work out the plot of your book.
