In light of a few things that happened of late — the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage for
same - sex couples, the addition of the word cisgender into the Oxford English Dictionary, the rise of the transgender movement, with Germany leading the way for parents to register their baby as something other than just boy or girl, the increase in stay - at home dads and
egalitarian marriages, universities recognizing a third gender, the desire by some to be called they versus he or she, the declaration that 2015 is the year of the gender - neutral baby, it's clear we are moving toward a society that is busting up traditional
views of gender and what men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers look and act like.
The «resource turn» in
egalitarian political philosophy, and the prioritisation within practical welfarism of resource redistribution by the nation - state, implicitly buy into the
same impoverished
view of human motivation — they abandon positions from which they could criticise the neoliberal perception of human behaviour, and serve to perpetuate its dominance rather than providing alternatives to undermine it.
