Today we have a general trend of “transforming” women into men and vice versa. Trying to find the reasons for this is a rather thankless task. Because if the trend is common, then the reasons will be common. These will be some global moments of our time, and not just problems in gender relations. But what could be important about this for each specific person? It seems to me that the first thing is a simple understanding that such a trend exists, and if so, then everyone can fall under its influence. The second point. Its real danger. Female and male roles in life and in the family, female and male behavior, distribution of responsibility and expression of emotions - all these are interconnected things. That is, if a woman adopts, for example, male behavior, then this will lead to a change in balance in all spheres of life. At the same time, it is important to understand the difference between the fact that a woman becomes like a man, in behavior and relationships, and what is called traditional roles or traditional distribution of responsibilities, for example, in a family. Speaking about the first, we are most likely talking about some internal perception of oneself, while the second point most likely relates to social aspects, to the specific circumstances of a person’s life and family as a whole. Self-perception includes the idea of ​​belonging to a particular group. Nowadays women sometimes say directly - I’m a man. And this is due to the fact that they do what they think men should do. It turns out that I do what a man should do, therefore I am a man. A person identifies himself with the work he performs; Jung called this a persona. This process in itself is abnormal - a person is not what he does. You can look at this using the example of male and female responsibilities in the family. Can we say that now there are none left? Men and women have their own functions, their own roles, their own responsibilities, which can be understood in terms of the tasks they must perform. So we can say that a woman is a little more responsible for intra-family relationships, while a man is a little more responsible, on the contrary, for the family’s connection with the outside world, for some external interaction of the family. These are fairly traditional roles. But at every time we have their specific embodiment, corresponding to real life. So washing dishes in our time may well belong to the male position in the family. And a woman’s salary can be higher. And it turns out that now we need to rethink the traditional roles of men and women. And it is important not to identify yourself with this or that activity that you are engaged in. Today, it is generally difficult to find examples of male and female behavior that would not destroy their carriers or would still be from our life, and not from an incomprehensible past. Modern media provide either unacceptable templates for some pseudo-traditional family relationships or, on the contrary, too “free” “family” relationships. All this creates great difficulties in the process of forming internal representations of one’s own gender-role identification. That is why now a person has to deal with this problem himself. To do this, first of all, you need to understand that this is a problem. That is, what requires our attention. Our time is such that it requires a conscious attitude to the issue of one’s male or female position. Its clarification, clarification of the attitude towards oneself, to the answer to the question - how do I perceive myself, who do I consider myself to be. It is important to understand and separate certain of your responsibilities from ideas about yourself that arise automatically and unconsciously.
