Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Dismissing social norms because they’re “only social constructs” is ridiculous, because all social constructs are a product of our biological brains. Gender norms exist because sex chromosomes affect brain chemistry, not because some evil global patriarchy cabal in 200,000 B.C decided they should.
The problem isn’t with gender norms themselves, it’s the enforcement of them.
The fact that various people’s have had different social views on gender and sexuality and that it was literally beaten out of them by white Christians and Arab Muslims would definitely say that no, it’s not true that our gender norms are the result of sex chromosomes. Your viewpoint is completely ignorant of actual history
While that’s true, gender norms has shifted due to the society progressing. Women no longer need to be baby factories and men don’t need to be emotionless food-providing machines.
There might come a time where those gender norms will be needed again for the survival of our species (like something apocalyptic that wipes most of us out), but until that happens, why shouldn’t women enjoy doing whatever they want because the society can support them?
It’s not that your premise is wrong, your conclusion is.
No his premise is wrong as are your examples. Men have never had to be emotionless providers. Ever. And women have not historically been baby factories. All throughout human history across tons of cultures men and women have served various purposes in society. Women only being birth machines is a result of patriarchal society influence from Europe during only a certain time period.
