The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir. MUST READ!!
"One is not born, but rather becomes a woman"
Imagine a world without Sex. I am not talking about the biological difference of male, female. Neither am i talking about the "act" of sex (the world would be really boring!). Imagine a world where there was not 'Sex', no male no female. A world where everyone is seen as just human beings.
When we see a dog (Canis lupus familiaris), it is common that we brand it "loyal". But do you see whether it is a bitch or a dog. Do you label the qualities according to sex the particular specimen belongs to?
Now when you see a human (Homo sapien), you brand the specimen strong, aggressive, impulsive etc if its a male, and weak, caring, emotional if its a female!
Imagine a world where humans are labeled/branded according to their abilities, their strengths, and not according to their sexes!( the female DNA just lacks a Y chromosome)
Imagine. Imagine a world where there are no boys, girls, guy, gal, dude duddett or man woman! Imagine a world where there are no choices in any application form asking whether your M, F or other!A world without reservations for the other sex. A world where we dont see children of one sex playing with Barbies while the other with muscular GI Joes! Imagine a world where equality and rights of a woman is not decided by a man!!
Imagine.
Imagine UTOPIA!!

Wow! that would be fantastic, I have heard men say that women gossip. but during my morning walk I hear men gossiping about the 'somebody's daughter' running away with her 'lover', how somebody had a great wedding in borrowed money,how the manager is ever so polite with some female employee,and how X butters the boss and gets promotion or an increment! Perhaps they are only 'discussing'!
Next I have a question. how does the species continue?budding?spore formation?or simply binary fission! Interesting!!!!!
that,d be boring... differences between a men and women are exactly wat attracts one to another...and its not that the world perceives a man to be stronger , more agressive etc etc and a woman to be otherwise... it how nature has made us... its all bout the x and y chromosome....i don see any philosophy in the whole god damn thing
