fair enough, do you think then that if we socialised girls the same as boys then we'd have men and women that behave the same in adulthood?
" I've spoken to many women over the years who have told me that they deliberately avoid activities like weight-lifting out of fear that they'll "bulk up like a man", i.e. become less female as a result. I don't think that gendered stigmas like that should exist."
yeah i've heard women make comments like that before and its pretty ignorant a thing to say since putting on muscle generally takes a lot of time and effort
but isn't that more to do though with what men and women find attractive though?
like maybe they figure that since men aren't attracted to large women with lots of muscle that they'd therefore avoid becoming that way?
"Approximately 88% of porn scenes contain violent acts (such as slapping, choking, etc.) "
this wasn't posted to me but an interesting thing about this is that i've experienced and men i know have experienced women requested to be slapped, have their hair pulled or choked or whatever and being a good man i'd refuse
i've wondered if maybe that's due to our society socialising women to percieve themselves as weaker and worthy of abuse of something

Answering once more in order of your queries:
-More or less, yeah. I think that if we socialized girls and boys in the same sorts of ways, they'd probably tend to wind up more behaviorally alike in adulthood.
-Aaaah, but WHY do people feel these particular kinds of attractions? Is it necessarily, for example, just "in the blood" for men to aesthetically prefer physically frail women or might that preference reflect a conditioned need to feel superior? Conversely, women tend to prefer muscular men, I believe, because we are taught to believe that we are, to use an expression I have heard many times in my life, "the weaker sex" (physically, mentally, and emotionally, all; basically, we're conditioned to view ourselves as inferior in every way) and accordingly seek protection from without (physically, financially, etc.).

If it is so despised by politicians, then why is Donald Trump still my president right now? How did he get there in the first place? Why is Eric Greitens still the governor of Missouri? These things keep happening.

ah i see where you are going with this, that's very interesting, maybe with time attraction will change so that people find the opposite sex more attractive when their appearance is closer to their own sex
