I like fistbumps. I give fistbumps. I get fistbumps from friends both male and female (although one guy will insist on high fiving my fistbump, and then we make what's called a turkey.)

I also like being put on a pedestal, but for the right things-- and something I was born into that I didn't have a hand in dictating, is not the right reason to be put on a pedestal.

Suppose school gyms and college dorms had all-gender bathrooms with open showers. Would we get used to it? Should we?

Yes, and yes, unless it's literally open like a hot springs style baths and its winter. Then it might just be unhealthy.

fighting against men on a physical level isn't one of them.

What about pushing a button to drop a bomb from a plane?

I think the gender politics would still be a distraction. We can't afford to lessen our strength in combat -

We can't afford to lessen strength in combat by cutting the number of the possible enlistment by half. Gender politics is a distraction that lessens strength in combat, because gender politics still exist, because we perpetrate gender politics.

We are different creatures and not interchangeable in all situations. I think there are still a few things that should be kept women/girls only and some men/boys only.

We're interchangeable in many more ways than you presume.
