Causing Sexual Identity Confusion

Traditionalists have been railing ever since the 1960’s that feminism causes both males and females to lose their sexual identity. Everything from unisex clothing to — horror-of-horrors — unisex bathrooms were seen as confusing everyone until they didn’t know what sex they were anymore. This simply hasn’t happened. Yes, a few men started wearing ponytails, but then it turned out that the ponytail was our Founding Fathers’ favorite hairstyle. Yes, more unisex bathrooms turned up, particularly in gas stations, but then we’d always had them in our homes without it harming us. Greater opportunities to enter jobs and professions have benefitted families everywhere and the greater social acceptability of following our passions and interests and talents, whether bouncing basketballs, buying bellbottoms, or blowing the blues, has only made us happier, more well adjusted and better paid. Boys are still boys and girls are still girls, but stereotypes have been taking a beating and rightly so.
