>I doubt any gender can be cultured out preference for physical attributes.
These are evolutionary traits and will most likely not change at least at the time scale of a few generations.
>We can support equal rights and still acknowledge innate differences right?
That's the idea. Law and human rights are deeply "contra natura" by definition.
Ignoring nature to the extent we are doing as a species will not end well as far as having a just society.
- pharrington 10y agoI replied to another commenter expressing your same view here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13798051 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13798051. My comment asserts your core view is inconsistent both with apparent human sexual activity and how evolutionary pressures work.
- 77pt77 10y ago> Assuming most humans having sex is not a recent development, any evolutionary pressures... Here I think your assumption is factually wrong. DNA testing shows that it is relatively recent (very few thousands of years)
- pharrington 10y agoCan you link to some studies? I'm having trouble Google'ing for anything relevant :\
