Gender Revolution There are people who find it difficult to label themselves with common genders. Take a woman who likes people of her same sex and does not feel comfortable in feminine clothes. She will probably find hard to define her own identity. But who can decide what masculine and feminine is? And, most of all, do we really need to know it? It exists a new term that can help us answering our doubts, and it is called neutral gender. It basically claims that, beyond biological distinctions, there is no gender. It gives us the hope to live just following our own nature, feeling free from the cages our ancestors have built since the beginning of the time, which say something like: women must clean houses in their pink pretty dressed, while men are out doing the hard work. So if I am asked whether I would like my children to be taught neutral gender or not, I would say yes, because I would like them to be free. Do we really need to conceptualize men’s and women’s roles so much? Undoubtedly, sometimes is difficult to make choices, and cages are places where we feel safe, because they offer useful guidelines. But being a little loss is the price to pay to be free, and freedom is always the better choice. At the beginning, the gender revolution is going to seem a bit drastic, just like every revolution, but soon a new balance will be established. Of course, there are physiological differences between men and women that will always determine a degree of difference, but, as scientific evidence proves, they are not strong enough to determine, for example, the job that one’s do nor the colour of their t-shirt. These are all cultural issues. Moreover, once we understand there is a little difference between the two sexes, even discrimination for both of them will automatically decrease. What does neutral gender mean in practical term? Does it necessary mean we must pee in the same toilet? I do not think so. We could start teach our little boys that crying is okay and our little girls they can do the job of their dreams, even if it means becoming a mason or having huge responsibility. Some will find quiet natural bringing up their children with such an education, other will find it tough, but we are talking about a change that it is worth doing. And this is the best moment to realize it, because new generations are ready to face it. New generations need it.

Gender Revolution

There are people who find it difficult to label themselves with common genders. Take a woman who likes people of her same sex and does not feel comfortable in feminine clothes. She will probably find it hard to define her own identity. But who can decide what masculine and feminine are ? And, most of all, do we really need to know it?
