You set out to school me on how evolution plays no role in gender roles and then you backed off and made a tepid statement about how culture can offer a choice.

Not exactly controversial. Hardly worth discussing in fact.

Some posters on DU absolutely deny sociobiology as having any relevance in the gender discussion or even any grounding in science.
