RE: Living in a society where there's no gender would be a nice approach
In nature most things have both genders. We are just ascribing a means of division to it right now. I know there’s lots of issues with inequality but removing gender itself is certainly not the answer. The division agenda is strong right now and these issues are used to divide and control more then they are meant to solve anything.

The thing is, in nature most things have a biological sex, gender is a construct that points to ones identity rather than biological sex. And I can understand that different people get different wages according to capabilities, or even if a country prohibits people that cannot drive to own a driving license, I can live with that. But this differentiation should be based on capabilities and not on presumptions about ones gender. The fact that women get less opportunities in their career because 'they might quit one day when she wants babies', or that women cannot access the same education in some countries is unacceptable to me. It's also the other way around. The fact that men are expected to provide income and that it is considered weird when he decides to stay at home to take care of the household, or that a man is expected to be tough and deal with it without having the same social safety net. These are issues in my opinion.
Well, I agree with you with regard to having equal opportunities.
The fact that men are expected to provide income and that it is considered weird when he decides to stay at home to take care of the household, or that a man is expected to be tough and deal with it without having the same social safety net. These are issues in my opinionIf i may ask, who designed it that way? Men are tough and women are light. This fact is natural. There are some roles that women cannot handle perfectly, and vise versa. The fact that we are created differently gives rise to most of these role sharing. Men have their ego and to say the fact, any man that stays at home to wash the dishes and expects the wife to cater for the family is a dummy. In this generation, couples work hand in hand to care for the family. Still, the wife has more role to play in keeping the house hold in order. Women generally have the notion that the man should provide. Theirs is to support. Man can help his wife to take care of the children when he is available. Nothing bad in that. When there is no division of labour, both party will expect the other to take charge. Many things will be left undone. The fact is we cant be totally equal in some areas. We cant recruit equal women and men in the force. Deploy female army to fight male army and see the outcome. We should treat the sensitive parts where the women are being deprived of some basic things like education, political power, some vital position in an organization and so on and not some family roles matter.
