"Female is real, and it's sex, and femininity is unreal, and it's gender." Discuss.

[Mortimer]

if a woman is a mechanic that doesnt mean she is not "feminine" or worse "not a female" anymore. It is just a concept a theory, which i so do not accept at all, or this narrative and ideology. That sex and gender are seperate is something intellectually concepted recently. In that narrative it does make sense, if you view it from that ideology, but to me i dont accept it at all. That would mean if a man wears a skirt he would be a woman, that is the logical conclusion, to me that is nonsense. I dont know if i explained myself enough or correctly, but that ideology as a whole is very alien to me.

Men generally are biologically stronger than women, which is why we have segregated sports in the first instance (which trans activists increasingly oppose), but there is plenty of individual variation among both.

If sex differences are only differences in physical strength, why are software developers and electrical engineers only 10% (or less) female? Why are professional video game players 100% male? You need zero physical strength in those fields, but they are very male dominated. We can't call them traditionally masculine professions, software engineering didn't exist until 1960s...

yeah, men are def. more fantasy driven, higher ability to think abstract- women have a higher social Iq usually (the better social animal)- its funny when women on bumble write they like "deep discussions" but they just like flowerly language just same thing as sapio sexual. Deep thinking is actually very unsexy.

Feminism and animal rights are the only two subject that SOME women like to talk that are "deeper" and we know WHY they like to talk about it, but usually their ability to really "discuss" -aka also understand the other views- are limited.

Thats right - in my engineering honours 95% was male. We had to complete a high level IQ test and males are just simplu better at cognitive reasoning and pattern recognition.

Greer is one of the least qualified persons to theorize about what is real or unreal. She obviously suffers from schizophrenia, admittedly made up her biography about being Jewish, learned Yiddish etc because she felt Jewish and "had an intense longing to be Jewish", despite not having any Jewish roots.

I wasn't aware she claimed to be Jewish, although she kind-of looks it as she has aged. Further, it is true that her ideas have evolved substantially over the years: she in large part nowadays disowns the libertinism she promoted in The Female Eunuch, and has realised the importance of marriage and motherhood.

Feminists say sexism, and their denial of natural sex differences is precisely what has given birth to trans ideology.

Germaine Greer makes a very prescient and astute distinction between the biological reality of sex and the social construct of gender:

Femininity is as biological as a female sex. High estrogen and low testosterone make females behave differently for obvious reasons - birthing and raising a child that typically requires a nurturing behavior. There is so much nonsense nowadays regarding gender construct it’s ridiculous. Most of our behavior is biological, only smaller fraction of it is actually society influenced.

For me it's simple, femininity are the female dimorphic qualities, some women have less, some have more, but this is when it comes to real characteristics. Now if we're talking about fashion, then there's a big social component to it (except for things that enhance one's dimorphic qualities).

The social component is: if we associate certain thing with females, then it becomes a pseudo female dimorphic thing to our brains, but if it becomes assciated with males, then it turns into a pseudo male dimorphic thing.
