Let me ask you a question real quick:

Do you think that the color pink being Feminine is genetic or objective, or do you think that is defined by society?

I don't know, but come on its kind of silly to say that's all societal

lets look at women's behavior for example since I was just talking to a buddy about that

you think women's greater fear of men and statistically higher levels of neuroticism is all because of societal projection? or maybe the biological reality of being smaller than men plays a significant part?

what about their sexual preferences typically for taller and bigger men? might the same biological factors not play a role?

well to me the answer is obvious, there are biological realities at play here not just the patriarchy

those biological factors create behaviors that layer together with our innate impulses and of course our experiences with the outside world

I know its getting popular to just look at the pink blue shit and arrive at the idea that its all a social construct but you aren't really looking at things rationally if that's as deep as you get

You seem to be dodging the question.

And yes, you are right that there are some aspects of maleness and femaleness that are biological. That is why there are two concepts here: Gender (social and culture aspects of maleness and femaleness) and Sex (Biological aspects of maleness and femaleness). I don't see how anyone can deny that these two concepts exist. You may not like the words used to describe them (Gender and Sex) but I don't believe that is something that holds any value in debating (if a core issue is that you don't like the word used, that is not an argument against the concept but instead against language. Take that up with an Etymologist.).
