Having kids changed my view. Originally I believed nature influenced our gender roles. Since having kids I have seen in my kids and others that there are clear differences in how both boys and girls interact with the world and both are pretty incredible to watch. I think maybe the idea that being more stoic and less emotional is ok.

Saying all that, there are definitely cultural influences that can take these inherent traits to toxic levels.

I'd like to see studies showing when kids are left to their own that they will trend towards non traditional gender based toys. My gut is believing that this may not need proof that girls and boys do not experience emotions with similar intensity.

One thing I think is a clear difference is attention to details between men and women. What I worry is that if we start thinking men and women are more similar than they are we could run into problems when average people wrongly assume the other experiences things they do.

So many lines of just fucked up insults. Lame ass ones too. Not a Red hat. But also not like you. Proof is already provided.

I think it's in our nature.

That is the proof. You don't know what you're arguing. I'm not saying what they said is valid. I'm saying their opinion is a common opinion. My proof is their opinion and your reaction to it.

The comment is the proof. I can also go on to r/conservative or r/h3 to show similar ideas.

My point is, Lemmy and others on the left are so holed up in corners like Lemmy that they are unprepared to actually engage.

People on the left do not engage with the world. Second of all, calling everyone Nazi and fascists isn't doing Jack shit. Fucking evolve and adapt

We're turning into trump supporters with our vilification and exaggeration of real life

Massively disagree on this

It's like thinking a race horse can compete against a car.

This is why I love the left. You're all holed up in your silos and have no idea what the opposition to you actually believe. At the same time the opposition is actively expanding out so many people believe this sentiment and when the left are confronted with these things it's shocking to them. Meanwhile these ideas have become common.

There's just no resistance to them spreading ideas.
