I argue for a well-defined differentiation between what biological sex is, as based on reproductive class, and gender stereotypes, based upon cultural expectations. This is not difficult to do: male/female designated reproductive class, and masculine/feminine the cultural stereotypes. This is supported by the second part of the definition you picked. Conflating sex/gender helps nobody.

By ‘modern day feminism’ do you mean the reactionary, male-centric ‘third wave’ feminism that sells the idea to women that prostitution and working as a stripper is fun and liberating, and centres men’s boners in women’s politics?

I write about the politics of sex and gender, free speech and how the left is eating itself.
