Strange how activities that are coded “female” are automatically assigned less value than activities and pursuits coded “male.”

There is nothing innately any sillier about makeup and fashion than football and driving around in absurdly large trucks. That is all a human value judgment based on nothing at all that has precisely zero to do with any actual value, utilitarian or otherwise. (Yes, philosophers and “value” and the millennia-long debate. I’m aware of it and all that and frankly it’s mostly pretty boring.)

This assignment of relative value is such an odd thing as when thinking about it outside of humanity, what is it, exactly? Nothing. What is gender? Meaningless.

Amazing all the invisible castles we build, turn them into prisons and say, “It was inevitable, it was always this way; this is how it was meant to be.”
