Do you mean you don't know anyone personally who tries to push this idea? If so, neither do I. If, on the other hand, you mean you have not heard of anyone pushing this idea you have not visited a university, heard a political discussion, read a newspaper, turned on a (modern equivalent of a) radio or (modern equivalent of a) television. It might also be that you live in a country which has thus far been freed of this nonsense in which case I can only congratulate you and urge you to make sure it never gets a foothold. Let men be men, women be women and let them decide for themselves how they want to be, act, think and do without any ideologues trying to steer them this or that way. Let boys be boys and girls be girls without telling them they make the wrong choices if they want to engage in 'gender-stereotypical' play.

- starbeast 8y agoI have heard plenty of call for equal treatment and calling for appreciation of personal perception, range of experiences, etc. If someone was arguing that genders are identical, rather than making an argument about societal treatment of people by others, which is what the actual argument seems largely to be about, they'd be effectively arguing that gender doesn't exist.
- naasking 8y ago> If someone was arguing that genders are identical There has been considerable and consistent outcry whenever anyone even hints at the idea that gender disparities could be due to irreconcilable gender differences, rather than disparities resulting from social pressures. Many people have been fired even for suggesting it.
