    Gender roles don’t need to be redefined, they should be overcome.

    It’s fascinating to me how people blurt statements like this out and then just move on like that settles the issue.

    Like we’re not living in a gendered world and will continue do so for every single day of our lives.

    Even if you think that gender should be abolished as the ultimate goal you have to acknowledge that, in the mean time, boys and young men have to navigate a world that is not blind to gender. And if they are looking for guidance on how to do that and you’re just sticking your head in the sand, they will get their answers from people who give them what they’re looking for. Even if those answers are terrible.
