And yeah, a person is going to have a different relationship with their son than their daughter. Heck, they'll have different relationships with same sex kids who are different ages and different personalities. My sister and I are only two years apart in age but have polar opposite personalities. My brother who is nine years younger than me is closer to me personality speaking but we are still two very different people so our parents have different relationships with each of us. 

AND THAT'S OKAY.

So you see the value in interacting with people with different personalities and background yet want to support a system that purposely seeks to exclude interaction with people with different background and therefor different personalities? And this does not seem completely contradictory to you?

All segregation in any form does is create an "us" versus "them", whether it's with gender, skin color, education, nationality or any other reason anyone can of think. once you start down that path it opens people up to consider their group superior to the others. It even happens on this very board with something as inconsequential as sports, how often have you heard the phrase "yeah, [poster] is a tacks/Lions/clots fan, but they're one of the better ones"? Because we file these people in these groups we start judging by whatever label and attitude we assign to that group instead of judging for the human being they are.

Oh freaking please!  One week every year I spend a week in the woods, camping, fishing, drinking and carousing with my brothers from other mothers.  We have one rule.  NO estrogen allowed.  Does this make us women haters?  Does this mean we hate our spouses, daughters, mothers, grandmothers and granddaughters?  

Here is some science for you that you obviously disregard.  Men and women are different.  We think different.  We act different.  We do this because of our DNA.  You can't change that no matter how hard you try.  And sit down for this little tidbit, THAT IS OK!  Why the heck can't you celebrate our differences instead of demanding that we must disregard human nature?
