    I don’t deny that the current experience of life is different because of gender/sex. So I am rather talking about the target, a society without sexism.

    Is it really so difficult to accept that men might find purpose or value that differs from women?

    Yes, I am indeed questioning this point. Is this difference in the essence of the gender or is it a social construct?

    For me, it’s actually not hard to imagine that men and women could share the same distribution of purposes and values, if the environment in which they grew up supported it. The diversity would be based on the uniqueness of individuals with little to no influence from the gender.

    I find it very oppressing to have the specific framework you mention associated to you because of your gender. What about transgender people or people who don’t associate with a traditional gender?
