11. Gender Roles Part 1: Livin4d Deconstructs Gender Role Fallacies

Oxytocin is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. By understanding the 3 genetic forms of Oxytocin (AA, AG, GG), not only are we able to recategorize personalities in a new way, but the Oxytocin Variable provides new insight into erroneous gender role attributions.

When we examine Oxytocin as a hormone, we are able to gain new insight into gender roles.  We often erroneously attribute social roles and behavioral norms to gender variations between and among children. These gender role categorizations within children evolve into genderification roles within adults. 

- "Oh, boys are more aggressive by nature."
- "Girls cry more than boys. They are more sensitive."
"She's so dainty because of her stature.  Be careful with her."
"He's small and so he's wimpy.  That's why he gets bullied."
"He loves guns. He's a fighter. He'll protect our country."
"She's such a brute. She's actually a bitch. Too bad she's not like other girls with 'softer' demeanor."

I mean we just can't win not that we want it to be a game. One is either too immasculated or too feminine, too masculated or not girly enouhh. . . Blah blah blah.

Research has shown that when children under the age of 2 are dressed as the opposite sex and placed in a room with various toys,  adults will sit them in front of gender typified toys they assume the child to like. This is not to blame the adults in the vicinity as this is how the adults were raised since they were children.

Sex roles are simply conditionally passed down from one generation to the next beginning with the chosen toys dependent on gender preference assumptions.

Consequently, children become familiarized with these gender specified toys which later in life leads to more segregated gender positions and roles. This concept is not to imply that boys don't like trucks and guns and this concept is not to imply that girls don't like barbies and frilly dresses.

The Oxytocin Variable opens up the societal idea for more fluidity and flow along a gender spectrum allowing for pursuit of individual happiness and preference of toys and futuristic roles rather than imposed gender ideologies.

The previously created schism in gender differences manifests in all facets of life. Think of your life and people in your life with respect to how gender roles influence ways of being:

-Sexuality in the bedroom
-Roles of parenting
-Enjoyed hobbies
-Types of social relationships
-Professional careers
-Clothing
-Resentments toward the opposite sex due to gender roles
-Salaries
-Jail and psychiatric institution frequencies

Conditioned gender constructs  contribute to all the above mentioned variables resulting in shaping and sculpting of genderfied personalities and national social functioning based on whether one is a female or male. Livin4d's Oxytocin Variable evolves us humanity into three types, each with overlap into another type.

Of course, there are different levels of "innate" hormones between genders such as Testosterone, Estrogen and Progesterone. I write "innate" in quotes because these hormone variances are debatable too, but I wont go there now.

Some current research attempts to make different levels of Oxytocin a result of gender differences. This is simply not true and narrow-minded to attempt to fit new information into previously constructed gender concepts. We are no longer a 50/50 world. We are 33.33 with a reflect + the < of insight from livin4d.

Remember that Oxytocin is both a hormone and a neurottansmitter. While there may be Oxytocin level variances that result in different levels between genders, this is a secondary result rather than a primary reason as the primary reason is due to the 3 polymorphic alleles of the gene coding for Oxytocin located on Chromosome 3p25.3. Livin4d is not inventing any new wheels. Livin4d connects the pre-existing gap between science and psychology so that the wheels can cross the bridge. The bridge being the DNA double helix that already proves the existence of 3 different personality types.

"Psych"ology . . . Time to evolve into "Personality."

"Personality" meet "Biology."
"Biology meet Personality."
"Let's start livin4d  shall we?"
