[QUOTE="ExploringSikhi, post: 192229, member: 19734"] Firstly, I do not see how airplane travel or the internet has anything to do with with rejecting or accepting our evolutionary past. Airplane travel and the internet are conveniences that make our lives easier, they are essentially tools that humans have created which have allowed us to better adapt to our environment, they have absolutely nothing to do with "masculinity" or "femininity". It isn't much different than when humans first invented spears to hunt with, or discovered fire. They have allowed us to better survive in our environment, which is kinda the whole point of the process. As for your other point, about what is "masculine" and what is "feminine", all you have to do is turn back the clocks and figure out what the role of males and females has been throughout history. We are not asexual creatures, there is a reason why two separate genders exist, and they were not created for the same purposes. In a nutshell, masculine traits are those which display an ability to gather resources and improve survival of off-spring within this context (ie the ability to protect from predators, capable of catching prey and protecting partner and off-spring etc). Feminine traits are those which display an ability to child-bear, raise new-borns into infancy and thus improve survival of off-spring (I will spare you the details, but you get the idea). Masculinity plays a role in child-rearing and femininity in resource accumulation but they are not primary traits but rather secondary (ie men showing children how to hunt and women picking fruits and berries). It is the difference between hunter and gatherer, the contrast between protecter and nurturer. That said, like most things in life, it isn't purely black and white. There is no such thing as a "pure" masculine trait (only found in men), just like there is no such thing as a pure feminine trait. Even something like physical strength, which is almost synonymous with masculinity, is present to a certain degree in women, because in life or death situations, women do need the ability to protect themselves and their off-spring from harms way. Men also need to be able to nurture and form emotional bonds with their children, because if the female partner dies, the man becomes responsible for the physical and psychological upbringing of his off-spring. But at the end of the day, on average, men have more masculine traits (and to a more powerful degree) than women, females have more feminine traits (and to a more powerful degree) than men. I will refrain from listing any specific traits, since I don't want this to turn into a gender war, but hopefully that was clear. 10-15,000 years of civilisation will not outdo millions upon millions of evolution (with mamallian evolution being 200 or so million years).
