But that still isn't right; who says society has to be any part of the reason they *enjoy* what they do? I imagine most people who enjoy what they do feel that way despite what society pushes them into.
I think we might not be on the same ship here.
The claim was made that there was 0 difference between men and women, besides just the physical. I then brought up the example that there are certain vocations that are very male dominated and others that are very female dominated because there are certain things that are more often enjoyed by men than by women (obviously there are exceptions), and vice versa... because men and women have differences that extend beyond the physical. Mermaid said that a large part of this is due to society. That's when I made my comment about the hairdresser.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
