No, that isn't the only logical conclusion. Every problem has multiple potential solutions. I already said why i oppose it - because it perpetuates dependent culture and reinforces already existing discrimination.
And you cannot link everything to racism - as you already know some discriminated immigrant categories do better then immigrant "whites" (who are also far from being uniform set of ethnicities and cultures).
Can you imagine any other reason then "muh racism"? Or are you so deep in Western racist culture you see absolutely no other considerations?
And you know that people have still the option and freedom for a one working and one stay at home parent household, right? The only difference is that women have the option to persue a career, being economically independent and therefore not dependend on potentially abusive husbands and delay children if they chose to do so. But generally the modern model seems to be more successful in creating more economically stable and prosperous societies compared to those which rely on traditional gender roles.
So what is their utility?
As long as immigrants keep flowing - as you yourself consider it "more efficient" then rising kids "in economically stable and prosperous" countries.
Large part of Western "prosperity" is debt-funded. Which is also, like women exploitation, approach of getting things now by having less later.
If Western societies are so prosperous why do you think they keep rising retirement age? Couldn't they afford to keep it?
So russian socialism was not only far-right, remember when Stalin had all the jewish doctors deported?, but also anti-science. No matter it collapsed and left a bunch of religiously zealot shitholes, lol.
Yeah, totally anti-science - bunch of shamans beat US into space and built nuclear and thermonuclear bombs to get to mutually assured destruction. /s
No, they were materialist and thought of sciences as the only way civilization could improve. But science isn't monolith - there are many approaches, many branches, and at the time genetics was just one of many theories, and they had no time machine to know which one will win in the end - and had political battles to fight with it against racists, just like you do now with "bimodal genders".
And you're again trying to paint something as far right which was actually far left. Authoritarian left approaches exist.
The existance of outliers as well as differences in how pronounced sex characteristics still means gender and sex are both bimodal. Otherwise most online rightwingers and tankies wouldn't look like themselves but like their much more pronounced masculine looking peers. And is there a rational argument against normalization? Outside of it hurting your feelings and making you insecure about your less, probably not much, pronounced masculinity?
Since you think feelings don't matter, what is your actual argument for spending an effort on normalization of those outliers?
"Bimodal" approach is fine as scientific theory, but it doesn't prescribe how society should deal with every point on the axis.
There are women in garbage disposal though and garbage disposal usually doesn't necessates a hightened sense of violence, an inability to express vulnerability and a ridicously disproportional overrepresentation in crime, murder and rape to the point where these are near solely male actions.
Increased risk-taking and associated behaviors (including criminal ones) are at least partially driven by hormonal differences (women with increased testosterone also take greater risks) and cannot be fully fixed by cultural measures alone.
And society needs both risk-taking and risk-avoidance to arrive at better outcomes.
It isn't though. Otherwise feminists wouldn't traditionally opposed to conservatives.
No, this argument doesn't work. It was simply area conservatives wanted to stay the same. Still largely do.
Like, what would you think of going away from marriage and family system altogether? If conservatives are always wrong, surely it is better to do different then trying to shoehorn every new focus group into old system and fight for inclusion. /s
I'm pretty sure in your country more people believe in some magic wizard than in climate change tbh.
Another Western pet issue. Climate change is going to be great for Russia (once infrastructure against floods and droughts will be set up, and things relying on permafrost being "permanent" rebuilt).
But we'll still take your money for green energy and play carbon reducing games!
Probably closer to the way in which we raise girls nowadays, as we already transfered many aspects of education which were reserved for men traditionally already to them. Like, in western countries, I'm not sure if in eastern europe girls aren't sold for cattle anymore. or again, all I know is that in nations like poland they are forced to breed against their will.-
...what? ...i don't even... What kind of fanfiction are you reading about Eastern Europe?
no counterargument, still trying to shoehorn views into American dichotomy
Weak.
What you describe as market-based economies are supply and demand based economies. Planned economies can still be market based. Like, you know that the USSR had currency?
No, that isn't how it works.
market economy (noun)
an economic system in which production and prices are determined by unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses.
planned economy (noun)
an economy in which production, investment, prices, and incomes are determined centrally by the government.
example: "a shift from a planned economy towards a market system"
Many european mixed economies have them and don't force women to breed against their will though.
Eastern European socialism wasn't mixed economy.
mixed economy (noun)
an economic system combining private and state enterprise.
It was all state enterprises.
Modern Russia is mixed economy. Modern China is mixed economy. Neither USSR nor it's satellites were.
