Is there a certain way people have to act for you to label them masculine or feminine?

Certain physical traits or non-physical qualities?

Does either hold more weight when you're looking for friends or partners?

No judgement guys!

I don't define either. It reflects patriarchy and a number of social mores to which I don't subscribe.

Personally and honestly I don't care. Its not that important to me. Be who you are. Be yourself. No judgement on my behalf.

Hmm so you don't have your own personal interpretation of these concepts? Cool tbh.

I used to have ideas that were ingrained in me as a kid and reinforced as an adult. They mean nothing to me anymore. Gender expression is fluid to me and gender roles are antiquated IMO.

yummy

I don't care what you are as long as you're not obnoxious or looking to make a spectacle of yourself every time you leave the house.

In terms of looking for friends, as long as I can trust them then I dont care.

In terms of a mate, I prefer someone that is true to themselves but I normally am more attracted to a masculine guy.

I think alot of men have some sort of feminine trait, whether theyre open about it or not is another story. Yes, there's certain ways men can act that determine if theyre masculine or feminine. I mean of course, how else could that be determined? If i think ur effeminate then u probably speak a certain way, dress a certain way, have what i would consider a more feminine demeanor, or a combo of all. I more than likely wouldn't have an overly feminine male friend..........or an overly masculine female friend for that matter
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

I actually agree for the most part

I only distinguish male and female.

What is masculine or feminine we cannot define, society has already done that. Those definitions are however in my opinion sexist, mostly arbitrary and foolish.

I definitely agree with the first sentence LaPickpocket.

Im hoping someone gives specifics on what these traits entail or exhibit tho.

Hey yall, I capitalized "YOU" for a reason. Im aware of what society says is fem and masc, im asking you how you feel about that binary concept, my bad if if my title is misleading.


Also surprised to see some of you so non-gender conforming. Kinda cool.
