Evolutionary biology is important but c'mon man...it's not all deterministic nor is it some sort of movie script one should always follow.

True, I wouldn't say it's entirely deterministic, but to pretend our brain structure and evolutionary history has no effect whatsoever on the way humans interact with each other is downright moronic. Which is exactly what people are doing when they pretend human beings are born as some sort of blank slate and that gender differences and roles, among other things, are an entirely social construct.

But gender roles in every human society were intrinsically linked to gender differences. I'm not trying to enforce anything, personally. I'm perfectly happy with a woman having only one or two kids after having pursued a successful career or whatever else they wish to achieve before procreating. I don't want to force modern developped countries to go back to an objectively less just and brutal form of society, and it isn't doable anyways. But unless it's uniformally applied everywhere on the planet to every society (and it's never going to be) all this means is that societies still using an "obsolete" but much more efficient social construct (as far as self-propagation, which is the base goal of any organism) will eventually replace them. It's simple demographics. It works in a theoretical construct of a perpetually stagnating population barely replacing itself, granted. I just don't think it's a realistic goal.

holy shit stop conflating sex and gender, for one.

secondly, because indian families, for example, like to have 12 children doesn't mean they'll over take other socities. those arbitrary lines known as borders stop that.
