What do you think would happen if men and women switched up rolls for a year?

Uh... I get what you’re saying, but...

Girls really shouldn’t grope people without their consent. You’re kinda making it sound like it’s ok. It’s not, it’s a double standard. Female sex offenders should face the same consequences as male sex offenders. If your female friend gropes someone again I hope she gets slapped in the face by her victim. Hard. I’m sorry but she deserves it.

If it was somehow a full social roll swap in some magical way. Then there would be a lot of shock all round.

A lot of women would understand better emotional repression. And experience the more isolating negative sides of patriarchal societies.

And a lot of men would have to deal with being systematically belittled, and being harassed a lot more.

I think in end both sides would have better empathy, and would both want things to be more equal.

The thing a lot of people miss that that unlike race sexism isn't so much a hierarchy, as it is tipping the scales in weird ways. With weird and pointless gender rolls. There are advantages and disadvantages. I'd say being a woman is more restrictive socially, and being a man is more isolating. At least from what I've observed. Feel free to correct something or give a counter opinion.

Unless you're talking about swapping baking recipes.

It is hard to imagine because part of the 'roles' is a natural result of both the mind and the looks of both sexes. Complete swapping would mean the men would become women and the women would become men, not just formally but really becoming other persons, so essentially we would have the same situation again.

Incomplete, only formal 'swapping' would still have women being more selective towards men, striving for hypergamy, while men on average still will be willing to sacrifice energy, attention, admiration and money on women. So it would make a lot of things still not clear.

My politically incorrect subconscious sometimes says to me that's why men had most of the political and economical power before 1970, and, much unlike now, were more allowed to be sexual beings than women. That was the only way to keep some kind of equilibrium, as 'swapping roles' is not just impossible but unimaginable.
