Interesting article on benevolent sexism

[TreasonousBastard]

16. I have a fundamental problem with most of these articles and discussions...

where we seem to be avoiding evolution and biology.

I don't know why human females suffer more debilitating effects from pregnancy and childbirth than other mammals, but they certainly seem to and historically that would seem to be a large part of the reason for gender roles.

Perhaps some anthropologists could chime in, but it seems reasonable to this amateur that our hunter-gatherer ancestors would notice half the population stuck pregnant and then nursing for up to two years or so for each child so let the other half do the heavy work and protect the village. Thusly, males evolved to be bigger and more aggressive. It was a matter of survival back then, and eventually one of convenience.

Today, we have answers for that, but seem to spend more time arguing over talking points and perceived insults than addressing the same first two years or so mothers have with their children. FWIW, I can't imagine any other social development over the past hundred thousand years or so since there wasn't much anyone could do about it besides wet nurses and servants until recently. And even now we can't change the basic biology of it all.

So, equality being the worthy goal, is there anything we can do to make us biologically equal other than crossbreeding us with seahorses?
