Gender‑role individualism

Policy should first identify and remove discriminatory barriers, then avoid imposing preferred gender outcomes; allow individuals to sort into careers and roles according to informed preferences. This accepts empirical sex differences as possible outcomes without endorsing forced conformity or state‑engineered reversal. — Adopting a 'level the playing field, then let people be themselves' standard reframes debates over affirmative action, workplace diversity, and family policy from ideological battles to concrete regulatory targets (bias removal, transparency, informed choice).
