so i can infer that you would be in support of peeling away all of the rights and special protections women have due to their gender?

"The flimsy definitions of what constitutes masculine and feminine are ridiculous"

elaborate?

"anyone who adheres to them to a point where they define their personality on them is pitiful."

so women who lament going out at night alone because they perceive themselves as being more susceptible to harm from men are pitiful?

Which rights and protections that women have and are not based on their biological features do you mean?

All definitions for masculine and feminine traits are arbitrary psychological traits and preferences that can absolutely apply to both biological genders. Take fashion as a simple example. Calling a man feminine because he likes to wear high heals and dresses is just as wrong as calling a woman masculine just because she likes to do body building. They are empty classifications that don't mean anything and are just used to divide and single out people.

Women who lament that just because they are women are simply wrong. Being vulnerable applies to all humans that fall into that category. Anyone can be attacked when alone at night. Calling for special attention to just one biological gender is a slap into the face of everyone else. Everyone deserves protection.

"Which rights and protections that women have and are not based on their biological features do you mean?"

since "woman" also includes biological men who identify as women, how would you tell the difference?

"They are empty classifications that don't mean anything and are just used to divide and single out people."

and you don't think there's any utility in classifying people? not to mention that people are going to do it anyway subconsciously outside of its utility

when the group of guys agrees that the woman across the street is hot, that's classification

when the woman and her friends agree that the guys are creepy because they are staring at her that's classification

when the cars pull to the side of the road because they hear sirens, that's classification etc etc etc

yes when taken too far this can cause harm but its kind of an inherent part of reality

"Calling for special attention to just one biological gender is a slap into the face of everyone else."

you have an interesting perspective on this, so things like metoo are just women being hysterical?
