I don't think "here's my vision of eutopia, isn't it controversial?" is a type of post we should have here. Even if we really should be discussing the possibilities it considers, this seems a particularly bad way of bringing up the ideas - it gives a particular answer to the eutopia question, instead of exploring the relevant aspects of the question, so isn't going to promote useful discussion so much as attempts to smack down the idea.
Discussing Weirdtopias here is not exactly uncommon, we've had these before. And of course any interesting weirdtopia is going to be "good" at something, that is, "optimized" in some sense. It's an interesting proof of concept regardless.
I disagree. Masculinity is an especially important and problematic set of values.
Why? What's wrong with wanting to be masculine?
If it were wrong, it would be a problem, not problematic. That defies the dictionary definition, but "problem" can mean something with a simple solution that hasn't yet been implemented, while "problematic" connotes a persistent problem with no easy solution.
The difficulties with it are already listed in the post, as they're the motivation for the post. Though it might be more fair to say gender is problematic.
