I find it odd that we have advanced how complex our understanding of human beings and gender are and yet…we STILL have old timey days levels of designatiin when it comes to determining a person’s gender ? Why?
We literslly have technologies that we can use to help a person transition from one gender to another or even to help them become more like the non-binary person they really are with different hormones! And different sugeries!..and yet…we still have this binary , well-overdue designation when it comes to understanding gender!?
Back im the past a person would burn at the stake the suggestion that such a tjing as ‘hormones’ exist or even at the suggestion of a mosaic model of gender, gender expression , and sexuality…and yet…most humans stilll drag on this neolithic barbaric format when it comes to understanding modern gender, gender expressions and sexuality?!
We outnumber the capitalists, we always have and we always will, so I dont see why WE aent the ones who are dictating how WE define , format , understand, and deeper research things like gender, gender expressions, sexuality, and even other concepts relating the mosaic models of human categorization that we havent begun to even research yet!
And I say this as a cis-male who was rsised with that very binary, outdated, ‘oNlY mAlE AnD fEmAle’ model of gender. I was actually somewhat shocked when I was presented this mosaic model relating to the mosaic model of gender and sexuality and human categorization because this is only the SURFACE! We can go deeper!
Cause like think about it : With the mosaic model of gende r, sexuality, and human expression w e are merely scratching the SURFACE of things relating to gender snd sexuality and human expression . We have learned more about the human brain in the last 30 years alone than we have in the last like 500 or 1000 or whatever millenia…what is to say that we are not going to do the same when it comes to gender, sexuality and human expression in the next 30 years? Heck there could be like a 3D or even 4D Mosaic Model that finally accurately , undeniably, falsifiably defines ALL of human gender, sexuality and expression!....
Maybe Im getting a bit too ahead of myself with the 4D model lol but I do think we can all agree that our current understanding of gender, sexuality and human expression and even social relations betwween different people of different genders is being held back by letting ourselves be controlled by capitalists who only want to research new weapons to more effectively vaporize Palestinians, Venezuelans, Colombians, Cubans , and Sudanese .... 😐 We gotta end that first!
I don't think cavemen had this exact gender binary idea you're referring to. At some point, we decided things should be like this. Like marriage. Inheritance. Gender binary also probably is an idea that manifested later on.
actually youre right. It was only when fuedalistic societies starting forming and and non-males were increasingly seen as. 'objects to prodice more soldiers , hiers, and more workers' and were increasingly put under the control of patriarchal men and ege non-males who betraued their own non-male allies fid this binary idea become more convenient for the fuedalists to adopt. ANd so....
Thats what they went along with and most of us went along witb it.
Back inthe neolithic era there probably wasnt even a rigid classification for gender. If you were born intersex or agenderd you woulsd probably just get treated like which of your genstalia mattered the most or based on whst your mother or her mother's mother said about people who were intersex.
You just described patriarch...
A simple word: organisation
the people dont eben want to be organized in any way.
The people dont give a fuck about a society that doesnt give a fuck about them so why would they do ANYTHING to improve it? Pft!
You sound like teenager stamping their feet.
but its the truth.
Who in the their right mind give a damn about something or someone that doesnt give a damn about them?
If socialists actually put in A LOOOT of effort to demonstrate that they gave a damn about the disenfranchised people they come into contact with then it would certainly convince much more people to also become socialists too, right?
I feel that with humans what you give is what you get.
This is why so many people are incressingly becoming disenfranchized by modern societies , cause the capitalist system , governmenral officials and representatives are decreasingly working to benefit most of proletariat. The second the people raise enough of a ruckus the bourgeoisie begin enabling the people to have more freedoms , treats , bread and circuses . We saw this hppen in the 1950s in nirth america and in the 1960s in europe , and the in the 1980s in europe. And the majority of people in turn start loving capitalism again. This is a cycle that has happened throughout history. b
An will happen again and again until the people choose to break our current system and FINALLY create egalitarian, humanistic , and communistic societies once and for all.
