#2Once for all you'll have to understand that without a good distribution of roles (girls must grow to be moms making and educating babies; boys must grow to be warriors (including scientists, explorers, farmers, etc) to defend women and children against invaders of all kinds, then you won't live happy old days, because you'll be invaded, raped and dead by then.
The uproar should be against that uproar!

He is saying you cannot change gender norms. If you try, you will fail in your own life.

Pardon me, I guess this is sarcasm, but I do not get the reference/joke.

Me neither - I just assumed it was one of the MGTOW crazies.

There is a missing bracket in there somewhere and the bit of my brain that does lexical parsing forced me to eventually abort processing.

#8IIRC, Boy's Life magazine is run by a boy scout organization while Girl's Life is run by a corporation chasing for the most eyeballs possible.

That's also not making sense to me. Women clearly are capable of being scientists, so what's wrong with criticizing magazines that only talk about beauty tips? And why would that necessarily lead to "failing in your own life"? It obviously doesn't. Look at, e.g., Sheryl Sandberg.

When huge groups organize to force gender norms to be crystallized into society, it prevents the evolution of that society to respond successfully to dangers and problems that face it.
A great example of 15 million or so people adopting this was the Mormon Proclamation on the Family [0], which set a mission statement for their religion that continues to result in political problems and furor.[1] [2]
These groups organizing to fight against existence of their taboo are a great issue, one that will often organize to prevent testing the unknown. I don't know if it's my relative youth and inexperience, but it seems to be getting worse than it was in times past, when entire cultures migrated or philosophically shifted (e.g. Polynesian settlement, the Enlightenment, etc.).
