> Perhaps the question should be, “Why do women value gold?” No, it shouldn't. Gold has been worn by just as many men as women. I thought the blue-pink divide was arbitrary, but now gold is "only for women"? Based on what? > the females Gross. > the men would not normally have the task of polishing the stuff What incredibly specific and odd gender roles you imagine.

So, let me get this straight... Jewelry has been — for the past 10,000 years — gender neutral? And, women have NOT been responsible for cleaning and caring for their own jewelry? Do you ever step outside and interact with people? Have you had so little contact with women that you know nothing of jewelry? Women wear more jewelry than men in nearly every culture on Earth. Marketing jewelry to women is a multi-billion dollar industry world-wide. Does that offend you? If you had any direct contact with women, you would know that —- even to this day —- polishing, storing, and organizing jewelry is something far more women do than men. If that’s ‘gross’ to you, you have issues.

  The fact that you are trying to reduce this to a false dichotomy between one of "the females in the culture primarily wear gold" (yes, "females" ) or "Jewelry is gender neutral" shows that you are not a serious person making a serious argument. Your whole weird gender-role based argument is entirely unsupported and yes, gross.

>>the females >Gross. This sort of phrasing/teminology is very common. Nobody is implying anything by it. I was surprised at first when I heard about it but it's probably because English is my second language and thinking of calling someone the equivalent in German would be very awkward. However, that's not the case in English. It's just a different language.
