i understood what you were saying; you were talking about male/female roles within the relationship, providing direction for the family unit etc etc. i disagree fundamentally with your position, and would have thought that by alluding to modern womens ability to thrive independently without any male influence at all, it would go without saying that a woman is capable of fulfilling a mans role in a relationship; furthermore, i made the distinction between traditional and modern relationships, because i will only ever agree with your position if we were talking about traditionally structured relationships, where men are breadwinners and women are homekeepers. imo, the evolution of the traditional relationship model was driven by neccessity, not choice; it is simply the most efficient way to run a family unit, where each partner does waht they are most suited to doing - men to hunting/gathering/providing, and women childbearing/nurturing/teaching.DIVISION said:You misunderstood what I said and you still haven't made your case for women becoming men. Being financially independent does not equate a woman becoming a man. I don't define a man's role as being breadwinner only. The role a man plays in the relationship dynamic goes beyond the variables of economic viability, who earns the money and to what degree? That's merely one aspect, not the all encompassing focus.
So women can have casual sex without repercussions? That means they have taken on a "man's role"? Nugga, pleaseeeeeeeeeee....
I would agree with you that women don't "need" men like they have in the past, but to say that they have taken on men's roles in society.......that's a reach.
If that were the case, women would stay single and rely on their dildos.......but save the minority, most careerminded women still date men and still engage in relationships. So really, your case for women becoming men has no merit.
You're reaching.......

i dont think that anyone could contest my previous assertation that neccessity/survival were the driving factors behind the shaping of the traditional relationship model; nor can anyone truly deny that that same neccessity, that need to be so efficient, has been diminished by the civilization of our society, which now provides legislative/welfare measures to make the need for specialisation between the sexes largely redundant.
these days we're all just a social security number, bor.
