Kids growing up now need to be taught that women, working class people, LGBTs etc were once denied rights & what social norms were.

There's a tendency to assume that how things are now is how they've always been & history is something that has to be read & learned.

I don't buy it at all. Social norms can be overcome in a single generation.
-
Just depends how much is social and how much genetic traits? I'd be surprised if it was a high percent genetic.
-
I'm talking purely social here. - assigning roles exclusively to entire genders - what role each gender tends to do.
-
I don't think we can say for certain that the second is purely social... That was what I meant.
-
Got it. We all have innate characteristics, but we can decide to treat ppl as individuals and open diff roles to all.
-
Yep.
-
What roles people end up choosing may differ for each gender and is depend on other factors (technology, birth control...)
-
The point is: all this can change very quickly.

Shouldn't that be possible in a couple of decades/generations? There's been a lot of changes in the 20th century alone.

Is it possible that set gender roles existed forever and will never change? Might be nature more than nurture.
