That would be silly.
You think they are because of what they were. And they're not like having "racial roles" at all from how I see it. There's not comparison...

Traditional gender roles take away choice ... and that's what people find morally wrong. It's the whole idea that women should want to do something even though they are doing something completely different.

It's extremely hard to understand ... because on one hand you are all for choice ... but on the over hand you are against what happens as a result of having those kind of choices(you decide that they made all the wrong choices).

It's just seems like you feel better qualified to decide what's best for women than women.
Yes, I am hard to understand. No one seems to truly understand my views. They're too unique, and I'm too dumb to express them right.

Traditional gender roles themselves do not take away choice. Only the past rules that were applied to them. And i just think that things are just too chaotic today... too many people are doing things "because they can". Things are taboo when they shouldn't be while others aren't taboo when they should be. And I doubt anyone will say anything that would logically change my views on this.

But I'm willing to agree to disagree
