Yes. They are fuzzy around the edges, and those people on those edges should not be lumped into the binary categories because they don't really apply to them. For example, if an intersex person has both sets of genitalia, both underdeveloped, what are they? Usually, the answer is one is removed, and that's that, but what if they don't? They don't fit into either the male or female category. I'm not saying the sexual binary is useless, but saying "there are only two sexes" is entirely disingenuous when you know it not to be true. Additionally, men don't need to protect women anymore, not really. We're not out here hunting bears, we're commuting to the office. A woman with a gun or pepper spray could incapacitate the strongest man in the world, we don't really need to hold onto these ideas in the same way, they don't map onto our lives that way anymore. The instinct still exists, and that's fine, but we don't need to emulate our forefathers' social structure in societies that don't reflect that. |
