getting rid of gender?

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Fri, 09/17/2010 - 1:47pm.

Is it/should it be that easy?  Presumably there is a reason for "societal norms."  Like biological evolution, societal norms should probably be presumed to be evolved in terms of what "works" in some context.  If so, there may be downsides to getting "rid of the notion of gender for good."  What might those be?
