    If u're a man who claims evolution built women just to care for kids & homes & you're doing anything other than hunting & fighting, shut up.

        Also, read some evolutionary psychology from scientists and not from your favourite ideologically-extreme website.

        But i do think a household is at its best when men and women take their respective roles..but of course that not the only thing we can do

        But these roles vary. My being a social historian/cultural critic & my husband an operator of various kinds of machinery is gender typical

        Doesn't require me staying home and having babies and him being the breadwinner. Couples who do organise like that are also gender-typical.

        Both of these arrangements are completely consistent with the evolution of gender differences but so too are very different arrangements.

        Because we're overlapping populations. We shouldn't be any more surprised at a male nurse & female engineer that at tall women & short men

        best the traditional way. With both parties working .the children get neglected and we depend on government agencies to raise our children

        I don't think so. It's quality of time spent with kids rather than being on top of them all the time. I'm not a fan of helicopter parenting

        But most women & some men seem to choose to reduce hours when kids come along and are little anyway coz they want a better work/life balance

        Exactly. The different degrees of skills we developed due to a simpler division of labour now has much more opportunity for expression.

        Seen in fact that women dominate more social fields and men more technical ones in the public sphere not 'Men work, women stay home.'

        The fact that women dominate in the social roles and men in tech is because women are generally more interested in people and men in things

        Yes. And because the public sphere is full of people, stupid to claim its only for men and women need to stay home.

        Well, it wouldnt be hunting and fighting anymore. Its more like being the bread winner and protector..but i agree with u

        And women wouldn't be caring for kids and homes any more. We see different uptakes in different jobs because of these evolved differences.

        Some like to claim that men seamlessly transition from hunter/defender to 'IT consultant but that women's roles remain childbearing/cleaning

        When, in fact, women's greater propensity for social & verbal skills is why we dominate healthcare, education and psychology. Powerful roles

        Women are caretakers, men are hunter-gatherers. Has been for millennia.

        We are overlapping populations and these tendencies translate to jobs in the public sphere, not men work, women stay home

        I know, but to deny the fact that women tend to stay home more than men is to deny the science as to why they often choose to do so.

        It's gender ideology which either ignores gender differences altogether or ignores overlapping distributions. https://twitter.com/YeyoZa/status/926819734875787265 …
