I don't really understand the debate.
Women and men are different and are made to do different things.
It doesn't mean men things have to be more important than women things. It's not because it's different than one is more important.
And it's of course only reliable from a statistical point of view. Because whatever the number of machine, men are more reliable to harvest trees than women.
Doesn't mean no woman can do it, but simply that on average it'll be mostly men.
End of the debate, why going further?
There is not only inter difference in genders there is also intra difference.
No men is biological equal to another. That is obvious and not the question.
What i am talking about is that technology is bridging this gap and the only thing important will be/is intelligence.
If you dont understand it i cant help much.
I'm sorry but you're wrong. Of course there are intra differences but that's why I talked only of STATISTICAL realities. It's a general point of view but there will be women cutting trees and men taking care of kindergardens.
You think technology will bridge the gap completely? Well maybe. But to be honnest I don't think so. There are some things that will never changes. Women will still bear the babies, men will still be the ones fighting. That represents millions of years of evolution, it will be hard to erase it.
And even, should we erase it? Gender differences allows a higher genetic differences, nor sure we should tend to destroy those differences.
But again it's all statistical. It doesn't mean it's not possible, just that any job kid related will still be dominated by women and that any job strength related will be dominated by men.
And is it a bad thing?
I dont understand why we are going into the area of good and bad^^"
It doesnt matter for me who does what job or has a statistical prevalence of doing something.
For me it is about hard biological facts like you need high physical strength to do certain work like i.e. building houses or chopping trees.
But that doesnt hold anymore because we have technology.
Today a kid could be able to destroy a whole country with the right technology.
(I hope you understand where i want to go.)
Technology will also be able to give a homosexual pair a kid through genetic manipulations of stem cells. (stem research is incredible in size)
If we want to go a bit more philosophical:
The nature made men who he is. But now with technology men is changing nature itself.
Well you seemed to engage yourself in the moral aspect of the debate, my bad if it wasn't the case
Then let's be clear: you're wrong.
You might be true one day (though I doubt it will be before thousands of years) but clearly you're not today.
Building a house, cutting trees, loading crates... Those are jobs that still require a very high amount of strength and
endurance!
That's the most important point, even if lots of jobs require less strength, they still do for the most of them. And the jobs that no longer require a high amount of strength require lots of endurance, and men have more endurance
But yeah technology is bridging the gap as you say. Maybe one day no job will require either strength nor endurance.
