Yeah, no. Nothing voluntary about the landscape of gender. Is it voluntary that women pray behind men in the mosque, or that women are nuns and only men are priests in the Catholic Church? Johns Hopkins University voluntarily admitted women in 1971. Of course that had nothing to do with centuries of women struggling for equal access to education. Gender is a boundary construct that is written in the landscape and rituals of human relationships. It's linked to power and is voluntary in the same way that standing and removing my hat before a baseball game is voluntary.

My context in this conversation is/was/has been United States of America in the year of our Lord 2023. Not 1971 or Middle East or the War of 1812. Context matters.

Today - in sports, bathrooms, locker rooms and prisons. Talk about segregation by sex there.
