Gender expectations are just a suggestion, it's guiding men towards what they should aspire to be. It's useful because it happens to be the exact things men tend to excel at that they're guided towards. Do away with that and (because those things are challenging) you get subpar men who just don't do it because...why would they? There's no pressure to.

We're in an awkward place culturally right now where one extreme tends to want the idea of gendered anything done away with and the other extreme wanting everyone who doesn't fall in line shamed. Keeping the gendering of things that the latter does (as a guide) while offering leeway for edge cases is the best approach going forward imo but like everything politics have poisoned the well and you're either a chud or a cuck now so pick a side or you're even worse -- a centrist

I think thats the point. They should do those things because theyre expected to. They should do those things because they want to be a decent human being That said, those things shouldnt be defined by gender Instead of doing something just because your gender is expected to, do it to be good regardless And in the end, gendering certain things is still kind of dumb
