There has been a religious movement surrounding your ideology (what was that called again? Oh yeah, the Promise Keepers. What a stroke of Marketing that was), supporting the return to traditional gender roles in society and at home in particular. I think that is harmful to young men and women, and should be actively fought at every turn.

My post had nothing to do with social darwinism. Social darwinism is the idea that the people at the top of the social heirarchy got there by being the strongest. It has nothing to do with anything I said, other than some abstractly similar survival of the fittest ideas.
And I can tell that when you say gender roles, you are referring to a man in the coal mine and a woman vacuuming the house. When I say gender roles, I am talking about the seperate ways in which men and women have learned to interact with the world in order to be succesful in it. I am talking about the fundamental energies or states of consciousness each has learned that they are best fit to survive if they maintain.
Perhaps you would like to point to a specific item you dont agree with...
