is the opposite of man, woman, or should this binary be removed/not used?
Y'know? because woman and man should be seen as equal and not different from each other or polar opposites. Do you guys agree that woman and man are not polar opposites or different to each other?
I think they should be viewed as synonymous of each other, on the same end of a spectrum, not on opposite ends. Because what even is the difference between man and woman outside of sex. Sex doesn't determine how a man or woman act, so why differentiate them, view them as different and categorize them as different when the one thing that makes them different, it itself doesn't dictate that men act a certain away that is different to women that would make a conceptual differentiation/separation between man and woman worth it. I say, screw the idea that man are different or the opposite of woman, /and/ screw the need to make/have men be different or the opposite of women! Society, Fuck you for ever establishing this and pushing for it!
What do you guys think? (sorry if this question is an obvious answer type question)
Tl;dr in my opinion, it's a term that ppl used to identify with and it's been used for so long so it shouldn't be dismantled and probably never will, at least in this century or millennia even, though certain things should just not be gendered.

Yes, that's the norm, isn't it? Men are opposite to Women and Woman are opposite to Men. It's called complimentary or symbiotic relationship. A man can do what a woman can't and woman can do what a man can't. Simple 2 reply
