Practical Philosophy Meetup - Cologne

Hi folks,
This sunda's topic, lets discuss ‘Gender roles’

A few jump-off points to get the conversation going:

•⁠ Are gender roles natural or socially constructed?

•⁠⁠⁠What are the characteristics that makes one role a stronger fit to a specific gender (male /female) than another?
•⁠ Is the purpose of gender roles for stability of society or something else?
•⁠ ⁠⁠Do gender roles allow or limit personal expression?
•⁠ ⁠⁠Is rejecting gender roles a reasonable responsibility or does it lead to instability when enough people do it?

•⁠ ⁠⁠Are many gender roles being fulfilled (or refused) out of a source of pride or for actual utility? (i.e. Men/women refusing to do babysitting, caring activities, secretary etc.)

•⁠Examples of times you went outside of typical gender roles and what happened

Cheers
Guido

Ps: keep in mind our different opinions are neither right nor wrong , are just the way we decide to interpratate our experience so far; so can be changeable by new social experiences/exchanges as well :)
Have fun

The goal of the Practical Philosophy Club is to create a community that is open to discussing ideas that can be used practically in everyday life. this group isn’t aligning necessarily with the specific scope that „philosophy“ and „practical philosophy“ may have in the academic world **We don't have topics that are off-limits and look to discuss all sides of a topic in order to:

1. help you understand your point of view,
2. Give you different perspectives, and
3. realize that we all have some common ground and just because someone isn't on your "side" doesn't mean they are your enemy.**

We value communication, simplicity, balance, honesty, and discernment as values to live by, and look to build a community around these values. The typical meeting is about 10-15 minutes of banter to warm up before we move to introduce the weekly discussion topics. If the group is large we will split into separate groups so as to maintain a conversational tone within the discussions. With about 15 minutes left in the time, we bring all of the groups together and conclude.
