Let's discuss gender roles.

I believe that the importance of gender roles are declining; in other words, gender roles are losing their "importance" or "strength." After all, gender roles have been on a steady decline throughout history- more women have left behind the traditional "house" roles of marriage, and both males and females are gradually being found in career positions that, historically, they haven't been found in.

That's what we know. Now, let's get in to future predictions and theories and crap. Let's take this a step further- Let's say that, in the future, we will advance to the point where gender roles, and gender identity, will be virtually nonexistant. Sexism will cease, as both males and females will be seen as equals, except for sexual organs and functions.

Now, let's take this another step further- what if we come to the point where science will alter the human race, and we become, physically, sexless? This would go hand-in-hand with the possibility of reaching immortality through medical and scientific advancement.

Or, in the other route, gender roles and gender identity will always have a certain amount of importance in determining who someone is; moreso than education, skill, or creativity.

Well, there's three possibilities for the future of gender roles; and there are probably many, many more out there. So, discuss. Are gender roles on the decline? Do you have a more extreme view, and believe they will become virtually nonexistant? Or do you believe they will always have some level of prominence? Let's discuss.
