(quietly) the way people talk/joke about "male-brained women" sometimes is actually really sexist and probably memetically triggers culturally manufactured dysphoria a lot more than people realize

I don't really understand this; i often refer to myself as having a more masculine brain, or sometimes ppl refer to me as a neckbeard in a hot woman's body, and this feels mostly fine to me? i wasn't aware this feels bad for others

I think captured the objections to the framing fairly well in her comments elsewhere in the thread

I think the more accurate it is the less of a problem it is for female brained reasons.

Being trans fem makes stuff like that hit different. But there’s some weird assumptions packed up in the phrase regardless.

yea maybe its cause im agender or something but it's hard for me to parse this. masculinity feels so neutral.

I'm curious what part of your brain or your way of thinking is normally typical of men and does that come from chromosomal and / or hormonal differences?
It doesn't feel bad when people call me it but I start to dislike the person who says it. It makes me think they don't like women. A woman shouldn't have to be masculine to be liked, and if for that person she does I worry about that person's ability to consider foreign things
