A woman simply cannot be a role model in all of the same ways as a man, and vice-versa. This belief that men and women are the same and contribute in exactly the same ways is a big part of the problem that this article discusses.
- paulcole 5y agoThe opinion article you mean, right? I agree that a woman can't be a role model in the same ways as a man, but I believe this is not necessarily a bad thing.
- valdiorn 5y agoIt isn't, in fact it's great that we have different kinds of role models. The problem being discussed is that some people lack certain types of roles models (i.e. male ones)
- wolverine876 5y agoIt's an assured-sounding statement, but what is it based on? I have role models that aren't my gender; it makes no difference to me.
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoI recommend the book 'Families and how to survive them' which covers human developmental psychology and has detailed sections on gendered role models. It may push a few woke buttons, but doesn't everything?
- wolverine876 5y agoApparently your buttons were pushed, and you felt you had to inflame the conversation and degrade people with different opinions.
