says the bloke who's basically foregone any attempts at argument and is just firing off one insult after another
It wasn't a huge point I was making, it was just an observation, that rather than have this experience of being treated like woman when they dress as one, instead they get constant gawping when they go out in public, children pointing, people nudging each other and whispering on trains. I've seen it a lot, . So they're not actually getting treated like women, because most women, apart from freakishly ugly ones, don't get this. And whether, along with all the affirmation and support they get, whether this consequence is adequately explained to them. It's a valid observation, and an accurate one in many cases. I put things crudely, as is my way, and it seems to have upset you which wasn't my intention. But I don't think any of this "every butterfly is beautiful and special and all beauty is subjective" reflects the reality of this experience, it's wishful thinking and virtue signalling

What *is* 'being treated like a woman?
Having a coat thrown down by a gentleman so you don't muddy your shoes in a puddle? A doth of the hat? A chair pulled out for you at dinner?

is your plan to wear me down with stupidity?
take a class if you haven't learnt how gender mediates social interaction by now. Or is that another thing you don't believe in along with attractiveness?
"Sex category (ie.. how gender, cultural category of male or female) appears
as a multi-level system of difference and to be one of a very few social identities that are so culturally important that they must be evoked to render any concrete other sufficiently meaningful to be interacted with.
In fact, the evidence shows that we automatically sex categorize any specific person that we must interact with" (Ridgeway 1996, Gender and Social Interaction)
