I dont want to be men and women, I want to be persons. I want us to transcend all the categories.
We dont work to be happy. We work to earn money. Also, women are not baby factories. Just like we are not sperm dispensers.
> I want us to transcend all the categories.
I don't think that's a happy outcome. Identity is important.
Identity could be personal. I think on this matter quite often. It would be off-topic to ponder on this at length here, but I can summarise saying: I think categories and identity are different, and tye former takes away from the latter, instead of adding to it.

There's actually a spectrum between, being fairly treated in the workforce and in politics, and 'think and feel exactly the same'
> politics
US almost had a female president. Germany, which is the most powerful country in the EU has a female chancellor. The UK has a female prime minister.
> workforce

How far down that spectrum do we need to go in your mind?

Good example. When a woman in America can get the same fair shake as a black man, then we've made progress.

Some studies say that as a result they are unhappier and have less children.

Do you want men and women to act, think and feel exactly the same?
