Although this may be true, I would be very surprised if more than 5% of the population would want to eliminate the two-gender system. If you were trying to campaign for a single gender, you'll have to focus on appealing to both genders.
As for the one-gender society question, current social values indicate it will be a century or two before this idea could seriously enter the mainstream views of the world.
For the foreseeable future, I predict the slow decrease of gender roles in society.
I am not arguing that people would start out TRYING to eliminate the two-gender system. I think it would happen naturally as people first got rid of maladaptive differences (aka- aggression, low social skills and low empathy for men; and depression, low risk-taking and low self-promotion for women), which then started a cycle towards one-gender or similar
In other words, one gender (or low gender differences) isn't the original desire of anyone. It's the unintended result.
