LOL. Me: Gender Studies is not including biology in its study of gender differences. OP: That's not true! Look at these feminists engaging with science! *Passes me examples of feminists denouncing biological gender differences & claiming the body is a cultural construct.*

The word 'gender' is useless and misleading. It has been hijacked by gender ideologues who are totally and beyond repear brainwashed. There are two sexes and there are psychosocial differences between these two sexes.

We're not going to get rid of gender. Its the adjective related to sex & exists as long as we have writing. If the sentence 'She is a very feminine woman' or 'He's a manly man' make sense to you, you already have a concept of gender separate to sex.

That's because the word ‘gender’ originally had a purely grammatical meaning in languages that classify their nouns as masculine, feminine or neuter.

That's not why such observations exist. People have been telling men how to be manly and women how to be womanly forever.

Yes, but feminine men are still men and masculine women are still women. Gender is adjectival. The poles are not man/woman - those are nouns. Gender is masculine<->feminine. Both sexes have both masculine and feminine traits, though their average distributions are different.

Gendered behavior is fuzzy; it is generally based in biological differences but is also highly malleable and socially influenced. Gender is a fuzzy term which can mean whatever you want it to mean.

But now many kids believe that 'gender' = man/woman, not = masculine/feminine. This utterly stupid definition of gender is the reason why so many young lesbians think they are non-binary or trans. Because if they aren't stereotypically feminine, they aren't women, right?

Well, that's a different topic and not one I am interested in discussing again right now. We can wish concepts of gender different to sex did not exist but they do & probably always will.

Well, I disagree. There are many languages and countries where this concept doesn't even exist. And guess what? This whole gender-blender confussion doesn't exist either.

I am skeptical of that. In which countries are there no concepts of 'womanly' and 'manly' 'masculine' and 'feminine?' We will always care about such things. It's how we attract mates.
