So much of our society is formed by what we see on TV which has caused some of these problems. When I saw John Wayne as a child I thought, "I want to be like that". When I saw Bill Cosby as Cliff Huxtable, I then wanted to be that kind of person. Then I wanted to be Colombo and so on.
TV today is very confusing. Is it any wonder young adults are so confused when the TV that has raised them says, "you can be anything you want. You can be a boy today and tomorrow a girl. Your gender is fluid!" And this from people who don't know what a boy or girl should be to begin with! How in the world can you then suggest to them that they can be both?
The beauty of the human experience is our differences, not our sameness. I meet more and more women that I can not tell what they are. They are dressed like Tim the toolman. Then you see men dressed up exactly like a women: long hair and a dress on!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could appreciate each other instead of requiring the roles to change and then call that progress? Find the common ground, enjoy the differences, celebrate each others humanity.
