I've been very down on some previous discussions of gender and related issues here, but find the current post to be good and constructive. It's so much more interesting to think about how something that seems really fundamental to us now might be different in a technologically enhanced future than it is to think about how the straight dudes among us could all use rationality to get laid way more often.
Thank you both for the idea!
Actually that is a large reason of why I wrote this post. Because I am interested in topics of gender and relationships, etc., those are the topics I looked into when I first found LW. I almost wrote the entire site off because of the massive flamewars I inevitably found about PUA. (Luckily I stayed around long enough to find all the other good stuff)
I figured the best way to combat this effect for future potential new LW-ers is to have more posts about gender and relationships that ARENT devolving into PUA flamewars.
Note- I am not bashing PUA. I'm just saying that I wasn't impressed when my first impression here was that it was all that was talked about in regards to gender.
Upon reading Eliezer's possible gender dystopias ([catgirls](http://lesswrong.com/lw/xt/interpersonal_entanglement/), and [verthandi](http://lesswrong.com/lw/xu/failed_utopia_42/) and the other LW comments and posts on the subject of future gender relations, I came to a rather different conclusion than the ones I've seen espoused here. After searching around the internet a bit, I discovered that my ideas tend to fall under the general category of "postgenderism", and I am wondering what my fellow LessWrongians think of it.
This can generally be broken down to the following claims:
EDIT- Due to some really insightful comments;
I replaced men being prone to aggression as a negative, with men being prone to suicide.
I made the verbiage a little more explicit that no one would be *forced* to change, but would seek out the changes that transhumanism would have available.
