I think gender has a causal relationship with sex so isn't just made up nonsense. Gender norms are a reflection of our sex-based roles and our sex-based roles evolved to facilitate cooperation between the sexes in producing successful offspring. This is why sexual dimorphism exists in the first place! The burdens of reproduction vary greatly between the sexes, so a successful life trajectory varies greatly between the sexes, and so different morphology, different temperament, different behaviour all exist between the sexes to better succeed at their respective life trajectories. In mind, body, and soul*; men and women are distinct entities.
*excuse my romanticism, I don't mean a literal "soul" here.

Ah, gendered souls. Sound familiar. Do you also accept that one of these "souls" could sometimes not match the sex of the body it's attached to? If not, I'm not clear on the purpose of introducing extra entities.

I use soul metaphorically, as our being or self. Maybe spirit would have been a less loaded term to use.

People keep saying there's a difference between soul and spirit, but are never able to explain what it is. The only thing I've noticed is that people tend to think of a soul as part of a living person, and a spirit as disembodied.

Alright, but it still seems like an unnecessary complication.
Everyone has gone full circle at this point.

And it's SHIT. There's literally no point except to make us mindless cattle. Yes it can be good for the majority of people, but even then it bars off better options.

Whether you think it's shit or not, it exists all the same. Besides, I don't think gender roles are as limiting or as stringently enforced as you are implying.
I was referring to the natural limitations. Social stereotypes are a secondary issue.
