Women behaving as men: It is related to not understanding the differences are essential and thus not understanding in what way an 'equality' should be reached. However, the real reason is deeper and started far longer ago, it is complex and yet at the same time straightforward once you realise the causes. It is related to a process that was going on a hundred or more years ago, I would say from about the time of the industrial revolution, when businesses were becoming an important part of life instead of the far simpler life before it. The cause is related to rules... But this is a topic for another time. I will just give you the summary: Women are trying to get more 'equal' to men, and have more perceived rights, but together with the structures in society it results in them trying to be like men. Related to this is that people in NL (and the rest of western Europe, USA) don't understand the meaning life any more, work is the main 'meaning of life' which is of course back to the situation at the start of the Soviet union where women and men were considered equal and everyone had to work... So instead of going forward, people in Europe and the USA are going backward... People are are too focused on work, too busy with their hobbies and sport such that even though they can choose what to do, they don't have free time to spend on just relaxing or doing something new (because they want to use the time for the course/sport that they already paid for).
