of course not all is explained by biology-- only maybe about 90%. economy & class provides 9% and the 1% extra is where we can alter course, more or less, provided we are aware and not completely plastered or numbed out with pills and tv.
1% with compound interest can accumulate to a whole lot in time. but let's not dream that we can reeducate the human population to be holy saints within the space of a generation. mao tried, and look what happened.

you know plenty of males who raise children and you see a lof of change happening. then again, you are probably based on what you have seen in your corner of the western developed world, which does not equal the reality for the majority at all.
like i said, if im going to base my opinions in the environment in which i live, i would say society is not sexist or homophobic, but i gotta see beyond that.
changes are good yes, but we can't assume the exception is the rule.
