i still don't get what you don't understand? human beings have moved well beyond the need for male/female, yet here we are instead of dealing with human beings as a whole, and some can produce babies and some cannot, the fact that we even talk about it moves the human being beyond animalistic or even biologic. Men did this to themselves by continuing to be 'men' and not just being human...clearer?
Whilst I admire your desire to desire to remove the barriers between people there are still differences between the sexes, both biological and socially enforced (by both men and women).
For someone who claims to want to treat people as 'humans' instead of men and women, that's a pretty hypocritical statement to make. Men are supposedly bad for not transcending their 'male' group identitity and becoming gender-less humans - but you're okay with denigrating them based on their group identity?
Men do not exist in a vacuum and you've fallen in to the classic trap of blaming them for the society in which they find themselves.
men do not exist, humans who can birth and humans who cannot...you're argument falls flat because "men" choose to be men, not just humans with masculine characteristics...
I'm all for abolishing gender, and I firmly believe that gender is a social construct, but that doesn't mean gender is a choice (at least currently), nor does it mean that genders/men don't exist.
Just because you and I feel that gender is useless to us (and arguably to society) doesn't mean others have to feel the same way. Gender is oppressive, but it doesn't have to be
What it means to be "a man" is not the same as all the toxic bullshit currently associated with being a man. Trans men should be allowed to identify as men without it also meaning that they're bad people.
