"Gender roles existed for millenia because they were necessary for society at the time to function. The need to conform to many of them has gradually become obsolete. Simple as that."

It seemed you wanted to justify gender roles because they'd "lasted for millenia". I was simply saying that's not a valid justification. I can't see the role of mother ever changing unless artificial birthing becomes practical and convenient.

The reason I said it is because you seemed to have some sort of 19th century attitude towards the role of women in society in that you believe that the most important way a woman can contribute to society is to become a mother.
Wow, what is it with people TOTALLY misunderstanding my posts? I think i need to go back to school and relearn english!

Tbh, I can't be bothered to rewrite everything, so if you (want), could you kindly read what i've written again!
