Thank you for saying what I've known all my life: that men and women are separate, distinct categories with some similarities but also very different from one and another. As a feminine woman, I've always said "Viva la Difference!".
You're most welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! It wasn't until a few years ago when I started the Ph.D. that I heard the social construction theory of sex and gender, which is that all differences are the result of socialization and have nothing to do with biology.
It's funny. As I've developed my masculinity I've definitely been increasingly drawn towards very feminine women, as they have the energies and abilities that I don't, and so the combination makes a complete whole.
Yes, I believe our natural energies as male and female balance each other perfectly. The question remains as to why does the Western world want to to destroy it?
So that comes out Critical Gender Theory and Queer Theory. Basically the Critical Theory traditions are aimed at liberating Western civilization from Liberalism/the Enlightenment/capitalism, and the idea that males and females are different is called 'gender essentialism'. Gender essentialism is part of cisheteronormativity, which is an expression of patriarchy, which upholds civilization.
So by bringing down gender differences, they get closer to their goal of ending Western civilization, which they think will be replaced by a non-capitalist utopia.
This larger goal of societal liberation requires the whole world to participate so that the new system could never be challenged, which means all cultures have to embrace it.
Sounds more like a world of despair and hopelessness, not a utopia. I can't imagine where people get these ideas from, perhaps we are in some kind of mass psychosis episode. Or that our society has become so political about everything that there is no real critical thinking. Maybe a little of both. Scary!

The roots of the tree are Hegel, Rousseau, and Karl Marx.
The trunk is Critical Theory, which combined Marx and Freud.
Then that branches out, and ideas like that are the fruit of the tree.
