On the old forum we had lengthy discussions about what it is to be "a man" in modern society. The characteristics and manifestations of maleness become increasingly more subjective.
Is there much of anything left that can be done these days that cannot be done by either gender (or any of the various gender descriptions)?
Even extremely physical strength tasks - if you put together a frequency distribution around, say, bench-pressing, I would imagine that the males and females distributions would overlap quite a bit. That is, the strongest females would be stronger than perhaps as many as 30-40% of all males.
And, femails always hold the trump card - they are the only ones with uteri. But even that may change sometime soon with the development of full-on nine month incubator.
