Do you believe there are masculine and feminine traits?

Question

Yaara · Accepted Answer

I dont believe any one trait is for any anyone in particular.

Anyone can be a protector, provider, nurturer, hunter, gatherer, lover fighter and the rest 🙏🏾

Vigil · Answer

Of course there are. Thousands of years of evolution would have been for nothing otherwise 🤣

Nicholas · Answer

While they are generalizations, they do set societal standards necessary for a functional society. While exceptions do exist, as with any categorical system, that does not mean they get to determine the norm.

Josh · Answer

Yes, but the lines have become blurred and I don't think it's a bad thing.

Dan · Answer

Intrinsic feminity and masculinity are general ideas but are generalisations not entirely rules. Like generally, females look after young but male seahorses look after the young. There are always exceptions to the rule.

Tilly · Answer

I believe societies as a whole have divided up characteristics and traits into categories like that, regardless of how I feel about it.

I think skills, traits, etc themselves are naturally a neutral thing, it's given addition meaning and implications by the groups of humans.

E.g. what's feminine in one society may be masculine in another and vice versa.
