From here it is better to milk her breast and not her brain by making her more human like males, is what position is in the colloquial here.
That is where, how and why beauty is the vapor of truth and has its own right to be. So why bleed it and soon grow hair on their chest much like males in the extreme opposite here?

I can give you three examples that the national mindset will destroy what they seek to find.
1. Only one generation ago 'free abortion for all' became entrenched as a social norm. Now, only 30 years later fertility clinics out-number abortion clinics by far.
2. Only one generation ago 'daylight saving' time became a social norm to place our free time ahead of our work. Now, only 30 years later we do not need it no more because we no longer can find a job that suits us, as if so important we are.
3. Only one generation ago, free, or subsidized education for all became the norm (at least here in Canada, I should add). Now, only 30 years later we have learned that this will reduce our intellect to mediocre at best, and we will [nearly] always graduate at the bottom half and strangers will get the good jobs and we just do the dirty work for them.

Lmao I can already see my avatar is confusing people, I'm actually a man Appropriate time to say since we're on gender roles.
I agree. I'm male and always lacked upper body strength. At the gym I struggle on weights most people would find easy, although I have been pushing myself to improvement. Probably still couldn't handle myself in a fight
I'm gay, and while I'm not immediately obvious, there are some feminine quirks to my personality, and I'm ok with that. I think if someone makes such a petty over-reaction to me straightening my hair, it says more about them than it does me.

True enough. It may not be exactly right what I just wrote, but the direction I am pointing at is there.
Let me add, when I was young girls used to get pregnant from sitting on toilet seats, so it was said, and do you thing that was not true?

Depends on who else was in the bathroom with them at the time, one would imagine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That may be true, but we have since learned that having sex does not make babies. I think the point is that fertility was not a problem and fertility clinics just did not exist. It is natural for people to be fertile and that was the purpose of the opposite sex society as designed by those in the know. Opposite sex male dominance seems to be the norm in every society, and I have seen arguments that female dominant societies do not exist, or at least have never existed for long.
But it is just fine with me. I write this only because we did some studies in this when the gender equal norm first was introduced. That's all.
