I know I have tweeps who believe that society works better and is happier generally when traditional gender roles are upheld. Perhaps if we could measure this rigorously, you would even be right. But, as usual, this tells us nothing about any individual and the individual matters

If even one person is unhappy it's not good enough. Society should be structured so everyone gets the choice.

If there is only one unhappy person Ieft, I'd say that's probably on that one person.

No, I don't think so. Not if it is due to a lack of equal rights. If only one woman in the world wanted to be an engineer, it would still be wrong that engineering was closed to women.

Yes I didn't mean to infer that not all should have choice, I meant to infer that if EVERY other person was happy, I don't know that the definition of "choice/happiness" for the last remaining individual who claims not to have it, needs to be acquiesced to.

But this is in the context of equality. Not any definition of unhappiness. We don't say 'It's right to deny women the right to be petroleum engineers because almost none of them want to'. If a single person is denied a right due to their gender, race etc, we have a problem.
