MEETUP DISCUSSION: “Why Do We Have Men and Women? Sex, Gender, and Human Purpose”
Saturday, September 12 at 9:30 AM
Few subjects generate more passionate disagreement today than sex and gender. Are the differences between men and women merely biological, or do they have a deeper social, relational, and even spiritual purpose?
At this Meetup, we’ll explore how biology, psychology, culture, philosophy, and theology understand the meaning and function of sex and gender.
Together, we’ll discuss questions like:
- What is the difference between biological sex and gender?
- Are masculine and feminine differences natural, socially constructed, or some combination of both?
- Do men and women have distinct roles—or should roles be determined entirely by individual ability and preference?
- Can we recognize meaningful differences without promoting stereotypes or inequality?
- What happens to families, relationships, and society when traditional understandings of gender change?
- How do different religious and secular worldviews answer the question, “What does it mean to be a man or a woman?”
Whether your views are traditional, progressive, uncertain, or still developing, join us for a respectful and thought-provoking conversation over coffee about one of the most important—and controversial—questions facing our culture.
