      I already feel sorry for asking, but what exactly is the motivation for those who want gender to be considered a purely social construct?

      In feminism, it stems from the fact that differences between men & women have been used to say women are inferior & should be subordinated.

      In particular, women are over-emotional, irrational, fickle, bad at maths & science. Therefore men must control them & run the world.

      Women in general feel more 'gender-fluid' than men, right?

      Don't know. More flexibility of sexuality seems to have been shown but this seems to have a different basis to what I was talking about.

      Well, I dunno. It would seem to me that you can accept women = men in reason, while retaining gender differences.

      But yes. This is what reasonable people keep arguing. But its not what was done historically & feminists assume it can't be now.

      I have a started piece on the internalised misogyny of this idea that if men & women are different, it can only mean women are inferior.

          You see it most clearly when feminists call arguing that cognitive & psychological differences exist 'perpetuating the idea of 'lady-brain.'

          I'm actually sympathetic. I think women can reason just as well as men, but doesn't entail we must be alike in every detail.

          Sympathetic to women being told they don't think good? Me too! Sadly, this claim gets conflated with any identification of difference

          It is simply insupportable for anyone to say men have a higher interest in or aptitude for anything - can only be sexism.

          Yeah, I guess. There is the debate over whether genders have different average interests, which I think they do.

          And it's annoying that stereotypical male fascination with machinery seems to be more valuable in jobs market than F interest with people.

          I'm not entirely sure why that is. Might be a hangover from days in which women were seen as not needing to be paid as much generally.

          No, I think it's just that we have a hi-tech economy where skills with machinery and coding pays more.
