View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

View parent comment

When the domestication of animals came, so also started private ownership, women are taking care of children while men are either owning land or working on someone elses land to secure means of living, women are now reliant on men and have no choice so they effectively become property, which means they actually turn into a commodity, which is where it starts, women are now a commodity, thats their role.

Whoops now we have sex workers as women are a commodity. But i digress

Society develops more and more, gender roles become more structured and organized, since women are already a commodity, they have value, so that starts the whole "women should be this", "women should be that" stuff and more and more expectations, values, and whatnot are incorporated into that "gender".

And finally to modern history where with industrialisation comes with new jobs and naturally, as women are still property, are permitted to do the ones that hold no power because how could a silly object know how to lead.

TL;DR: Private ownership made women reliant on men and made them property and as property they have value which then means something is better than something else and thus, expectations and whatnot.
