Re: Gender Roles

Well, it may be true that they are on a decline, though this is not necassarily a bad thing. With things like sexual reassignment, it's basically possible to become whatever sex you choose to be. So I think it's possible for a future without specified genders, but it's highly unlikely. There is a distinct difference in the way males and females act and behave and respond to different situations, even though "tomboys" and "feminine guy" seem to sometimes cross this basic line, it's still a majority that doesn't. All in all, variety is what makes the human race move and form. If genders would be taken away, the yes, sexism may cease, but people will always hate and discriminate for some other reason. It's a sad truth, but a truth none the less. Plus, I don't really like the idea of a conformist society, when you say that the future might be genderless, then I get a picture in my head of a bunch of bald completely same-formed people in gray body suits walking down the side walk. Not a pretty picture. But, that's just my opinion.
